The Voice of the Silence

The “Voice of the Silence” is an interesting and unique phrase in the writings of Alice A. Bailey. The following quotes are from the online books at the Lucis Trust website.

Sometimes AAB seems to mean something like “the still, small voice,” or what author Joseph J. Dewey calls “Soul Contact.”  You can read more on Soul Contact at The Seeker’s Guide to Soul Contact.


 Hence, in all meditation that is of occult value, the man has to do certain things in order to aid in bringing about the results. He tranquilises his bodies in order that there be no impediment to the egoic intent, and listens for the “Voice of the Silence. ” He responds then to that Voice consciously, and broods over the imparted plans. 

 The period wherein the aspirant struggles to achieve that inner quiet and directed attentiveness which will enable him to hear the Voice of the Silence. That voice expresses to him, through symbol and interpreted life experience the purposes and plans with which he may cooperate. 

 This Master first makes His presence felt through the “still small voice” of conscience, prompting us to higher and more unselfish living, and sounding a quick note of warning when there is deviation from the strict path of rectitude. Later this comes to be known as the Voice of the Silence, that word that comes from the “Word incarnate,” which is ourselves. Each of us is a Word made flesh. 

 Full consciousness will be achieved, and in the moment of achievement existence or entified manifestation will cease. All will be reabsorbed within the Absolute; pralaya, [xxxviii]38 or the cosmic heaven of rest will then ensue, and the Voice of the Silence will be heard no more. The reverberations of the WORD will die away, and the “Silence of the High Places” will reign supreme.
