Concerning Silence ... --> I use to tell my friends as much of my studies as I feel they are honestly interested in ;-). So to some I´ll just say I do a bit of some meditation/need time for myself, while to others we´ll even get to discussing Bardon´s system and if/how it should really work and so on ;-), and I really do enjoy those discussions a lot :-)). I make no secret of the whole thing, why should I - who isn´t interested further won´t ask further anyway... Where I have learned to mostly keep to myself and be carefull with telling is concerning those *special/unique experiences that I was happy to encounter (like some shifts in understanding/contact to some being or so)*. If I speak about such a thing too freely, that tends to tear me a bit down, takes the power from it, alas shows to be quite conter-productive. So far my 2 cents *g*, Gerda
