In this video speech, Eric Butterworth discusses the concept of "The Silence," which is often associated with meditation. The term "silence" is preferred over "meditation" due to the latter's contamination by various notions, philosophies, and techniques. Eric Butterworth highlights that many meditation techniques are available, but the emphasis is often on the "how" rather than the spiritual aspect.
Butterworth quotes the yoga master Aurobindo, who suggests that it's not necessary to teach someone how to meditate, as a sincere and open individual will find their own way. The focus should be on inner centering, not reaching or striving for something.
The distinction between meditation (centering within, recognizing one's oneness with God) and prayer (projecting the inner consciousness) is made. Eric Butterworth explains that true prayer begins with inner centering and being still, without doing or saying anything. It's a process of receiving and accepting the power, love, and intelligence of the universe, akin to a battery accepting a charge.
Eric Butterworth suggests that there is no fixed time for this practice, but it typically takes a few minutes. The key is to create conditions that make the desired results inevitable and to acknowledge that it's the power of spirit flowing through the practitioner. This video encourages the listener to make contact with this power.

“Don't go through life; grow through life.”
“The child who is taken only as he is-whose potentiality is ignored or slighted-remains where he is, or even slides backward. But the child who is treated as if he is already what he should be, often begins to make the most startling progress to what he can be.”
