Synopsis

An introduction to the nature and benefits of silence as a new spiritual reality that can lead to self-awareness and healing in our chaotic, fast-paced world

With its beautifully rich prose, Robert Sardello's newest book invites us to experience silence as a companion presence—a creative heart-felt experience that renews, restores, and deepens the body's response to the internal and external world. Drawing on images and ideas from the Trials of St. Anthony, anthroposophy, depth psychology, and phenomenology, the book delves deeply into the subtleties of silence, exploring the phenomenon as a source of wholeness and revitalization.

Sharing his own insights from years of experience in spiritual psychology, Sardello takes us on an inner journey beyond the chaotic noise of the ego to a place of inner communion and self-healing. Silence opens our eyes to the importance of cultivating the nurturing aspects of silence in our personal relationships and enables us to awaken the inner currents of spirituality that ultimately lead to a path of universal compassion, service, and healing.

Goodreads review by Brian on February 07, 2020

[Note Second Reading... 2.7.2020: A second reading of Sardello, and I rarely read anything twice, affirmed more to me the excellence of Silence, as well as its abstruseness. One of the more significant aspects of the tome is Sardello's differentiation between 'meditation' and 'Silence.' As well, Sar......more

Goodreads review by Jenn on January 03, 2011

Perhaps it is the frame of mind I was in at the time of reading this book... Valley Fever had caught up with me again, so I was unable to do much of anything but read, meditation, sleep and dream. This book changed my vision of life through connection and the dance with the deep sense and reality of......more

Goodreads review by Gord on July 11, 2019

Really great book. A classic for me. I have ordered a few to hand out. Sardello writes from his experience and commitment to his practice. This book includes a wealth of wisdom including his wife’s prose and poetic additions. Its certainly a book that I find inspiring and that points me in an authen......more

Goodreads review by Marc-Henri on November 19, 2020

Not easy to read, but a beautiful introduction to the beauty and richness of silence. I would say that this book will help people who already have a practice of silence and meditation, but is too abstract for someone who is interested to discover it without a former experience of it.......more

Goodreads review by Ron on October 20, 2011

The Goodreads review accompanying the duplication of the book cover is a good summary of the experience of reading Sardello's volume. Deceptively short, full of meaning, for me "Silence" was a sleeper, an unexpected powerhouse of relevance. The last 4 chapters (6,7,8,and 9) were similar to a few eso......more

Quotes

“Sardello’s work Silence sets a momentum into order every time I pick it up, one which asks only that I stay open to that momentum. I haven’t encountered this kind of book before, and I don’t know what’s in it for me, only that I have a longing to stay open to it.… I daresay the work will speak for itself. I can’t speak for it except to pray it finds a very wide audience and works its magic thereon.”
—Joseph Chilton Pearce, author of The Biology of Transcendence: A Blueprint of the Human Spirit; Magical Child; and The Crack in the Cosmic Egg: New Constructs of Mind and Beauty“This book is a breakthrough. In Silence Robert Sardello modestly, elegantly—and magisterially—brings thirty years of work in phenomenological, soul-based spiritual psychology to a new level. What was implicit before becomes explicit: spiritual psychology is not just another theory; it is a path to a new reality.”
—Christopher Bamford, author of The Voice of the Eagle: The Heart of Celtic Christianity and An Endless Trace: The Passionate Pursuit of Wisdom in the West
“With reverence and insight, Sardello delves deeply into… the power of silence to heal people physically and spiritually, and the importance of silence in prayer and meditation… Reading this book, one soon learns to equate silence not with the vacuum of outer space but with the rich depths of the soul.”
—Lilipoh
