“Entering into silence is an unnatural decision to the earth-bound entity.”
An the prelude…
“There are those things which enrich and deepen an entity’s ability to work with catalyst, and predictably we feel that this bliss begins with the silence”…
Ahhh the silence…
It’s really scientific, Quan, 
I learnt how to squeeze silently under water into fluid semi-oval trajectory not to wake up aunts and cousins napping on their own lily pads.
Hmm something only a frog would know

" The heart of truth is the one great original Thought. One dances about that Thought until one at last yields to silence and allows the silence to act as a key. The gateway to intelligent infinity lies beyond the door which is opened by the key of silence. "
And of course… just have to include this quote!
“The mind must be opened like a door. The key is silence.”
Its a fascinating concept to define silence in this context… as a key in a sense.
An lets keep unrolling the carpet now…
“However, meditation is much more than entering the silence, for there can be a silence of mind which simply indicates boredom. Silences within the space/time world may not offer anything except a quick exit into sleep. However, silence is a key that opens the door into time/space. Silence is the transit between the world of the mind and the world of consciousness.”
This is the value of meditation: that it moves you from mind to consciousness and from the surface of consciousness gradually deeper and deeper into the essence of that one great original Thought of love.
Further, when you are in meditation, you are vibrating in congruity with all others who have attained your particular present level of consciousness. Therefore, the state of consciousness is a powerful one and is that which becomes more and more powerful as one is able to allow the process of meditation to clarify and simplify that self-perception of consciousness, so that it gains more and more of the characteristics of that one great original Thought of unconditional love."
The goal of meditation, then, is to create the progressive increase of awareness of one’s true nature as a being of love. It is an awareness, or a complex of awarenesses, that can be sustained to a degree when you open your eyes and come out of meditation and reenter the noisy world of the everyday."
And well why stop here…
" Aspects of meditation which can be worked or looked at from several different techniques or ways of differentiating [between] various parts of the archetypal mind are available. Each of them has benefits and in truth it is up to the preferences of the meditator as to which type of archetypal meditation he would prefer.
One way of moving into the archetypal mind is to consider the glyph called the Tree of Life, meditating first upon the various aspects of the Creator placed within that glyph, going first down the center column, then down the feminine column, then down the masculine column. Once this had been done for a considerable length of time, considering first one, then another, then another, in different meditations, one could spent meditative times contemplating the relationships between them as demonstrated and articulated in that glyph. [1]
Another way of letting one’s consciousness sink into the archetypal mind is to consider the twelve signs of the zodiac in astrology and then the relationships between the various houses and so forth. This, again, is a considerable body of assorted roads into the subconscious and into the roots of consciousness. Conducting such a series of contemplations would be a lengthy process.
The third way in which we might recommend working to move one’s consciousness deeper into the roots of consciousness is to consider the twenty-two cards of the tarot and the relationships between them. Such a series of meditations may not at first seem useful. There may simply seem to be a mishmash of perceptions, none of them coming clear or clean. And indeed, one may spend literally years of your time moving through these contemplative meditations before there is the inner point at which the various meditative points come together within the subconscious to create a pattern within which one may see one’s various concerns and ethical considerations. At that point, and only at that point, does it become that which feels useful.
However, in our opinion, working with these periods of contemplation over a period of years will reliably result in the long run in a more clarified and seasoned web of consciousness, a consciousness that is more flexible and more responsive to the will of the meditator."
Now a mention on times of day with silence, please do take note of this disclaimer first
“Remember, as you do so, that meditation is not a practice apart from living. Indeed, it could easily be said that the goal of a meditative practice, and the supporting moments of remembrance throughout the day and the evening, is to so reconfigure the mind that it becomes easier and easier for the mind to dissolve into consciousness as a basic default setting for one’s everyday life.”
Having said that, here are the suggestions in some detail!
“We may say that in our opinion there are times of the day which are especially efficacious to meditation. Two of those times are efficacious because of the waxing and waning of night energies and day energies. The time of the crossover from day to night and the crossover from night to day are times when the arena of the inner planes and of the world of nature as well, is temporarily quiet. There is a characteristic hush of energies coming and energies going, a quiet sense of the changing of the guard, if you will. In terms of obtaining the most calm and peaceful outer atmosphere for one’s own work in consciousness, the dawning and the gloaming are two efficacious times for entering the silence.”
We may say that in our opinion there are times of the day which are especially efficacious to meditation. Two of those times are efficacious because of the waxing and waning of night energies and day energies. The time of the crossover from day to night and the crossover from night to day are times when the arena of the inner planes and of the world of nature as well, is temporarily quiet. There is a characteristic hush of energies coming and energies going, a quiet sense of the changing of the guard, if you will. In terms of obtaining the most calm and peaceful outer atmosphere for one’s own work in consciousness, the dawning and the gloaming are two efficacious times for entering the silence.
However, the evening, in your culture and in most entity’s family lives, is a time of activity when there is virtually no opportunity to achieve a time of solitude and quiet contemplation. We would, therefore, recommend the hours between approximately 5:00 and 7:00 in the morning. Or alternatively, because of the way your peoples move time around to suit their need for daylight, those two hours before and after dawning, whenever they may be, are recommended as times for sitting in solitude and following the breath.
It is often helpful in this practice to be sure that the body is upright and yet comfortable and that it is completely warm, so that there is not the pulling consideration of cold feet, cold fingers, or cold noses. This instrument has, upon occasion, wrapped a blanket about her shoulders and made a little cocoon for this practice and this is certainly a good way to achieve that stasis of heat so that you are neither too hot nor too cold and the body’s senses are not being pulled away from following the breath in order to attend to discomfort.
We do not recommend a supine or prone position for the reason of the ease with which it is possible to move into sleep from these positions. We recommend the upright spine.
To support a life that has a meditative practice as one of its centers, it is well to tune the consciousness throughout the day in short bursts. It is well, for instance, to create a noon-hour moment of contemplation, whether it be 5 seconds or 5 minutes, for that is the height of the day’s energies and it is well to stop at the height and appreciate the deeper self.
This is similarly true as the afternoon begins to turn to evening. At perhaps 4:00 or 5:00 in the evening, it is well to stop to appreciate the fullness of the day’s work.
Again at the suppertime or thereafter, at approximately 7:00, it is well to stop for a few seconds or a few moments to appreciate the energies of the incoming night.
And then at bedtime, [it is well] to pause to look back upon the day, to view the day in your mind and balance those things that you see as dwelling in imbalance, before relinquishing consciousness for the night.
We also would include, for those times when it is desired to ramp up or intensify one’s seeking, the invaluable hour of about 3:00 or 3:30 in the morning, that time when the energies of the night are at their height. We do not, however, recommend tearing up your peace or destroying your rest in order to create the perfect practice. Play, my sister, with each of these ideas, as you create your own practice."
Of course this is not fixed… further down the pyramid it depends on where you live to, the religious energies present an thought forms tied to that or lifestyles mainly present in that area eg times of rest and play/work/.
That is probably enough for today 
Actually no… why not one more ‘for the road’…
"…So I’ll ask for the third of my three clarifications. When you talk about contemplating on the tarot or zodiac or the Tree of Life, does that not cause thoughts to arise? And if we are trying to ignore thought during the process of meditation, is this not counterproductive?
We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my sister. A contemplative meditation is not the same as pure meditation, and its value is far greater to some personality types than to others. However, the suggestion is based upon our awareness that the archetypal mind dwelling in the roots of consciousness is possessed of a sacred geometry and a characteristic division into great arteries of pure emotion which have regularized relationships, one to the other.
A sense of increasing familiarity with and a comfort within these networks of great arteries and rivers of emotion gradually creates within an individual a sophistication, a seasoning, a surefootedness when in deeper states of meditation.
You are quite accurate in perceiving that such contemplations do include thought. There will inevitably be those thought processes which start with one point of contemplation and move to inferences gained from that contemplation to imagery systems which spring from such contemplation and to the eventual putting together of various points within the discipline of looking at the archetypal mind which is chosen by the seeker.
However, it is to be pointed out that these processes of thought tend to be direct insight or what this instrument would call gnosis, rather than tending towards the use of the analytical mind. If the analytical mind takes over from the faculty of direct insight, then you are quite accurate in seeing that the practice of these contemplative meditations would be, to some extent, obviated. It is not the aim of such contemplations to activate the powers of analysis but rather the powers of intuition, insight and gnosis."
Q’uote of the Day

“Most entities among your peoples live a kind of inner life that we would describe as horizontal. The world of things spreads out like the skyline, full of detail…One drives the streets, one walks the sidewalks, one moves horizontally along the face of the planet…Imagine standing upon the ground, seeing with the physical eyes that it extends flat in each direction, horizontally as far as the eye can see…There is contact between the soles of the feet and the ground. And that thin meeting place represents the depth of reality. But imagine suddenly realizing that precisely where the sole of the foot meets the ground there is an infinite opening, upwards and downwards; upwards into the world of ideals, guidance, godhead; downward into the ground of being. It is as though chasms open beneath you and above you and suddenly you are not standing upon a thin slab of ground but upon the razor’s edge, in intersection with eternity and infinity.This is in fact, your situation.”
Now in lead up to the above it mentions 3 stages of seeking, initial being the completely horizontal.
It’s interesting discussion tho and can empower those still in that earlier cycle … from prison to dream to beyond…utilising both
And so for the first cycle of seeking, shall we say, there is that tendency for the new seeker to begin to feel that life is a dream. There is that realization that these seemingly solid building blocks of chores and days and seasons are not substantial. And there is a tremendous feeling of relief and freedom of the lifting up from having to take the work time, the chore time, the time of duties, too seriously. Within one of your philosophical distortions there is that phrase, “First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is.” The time of experiencing life as a dream within a dream is that time when there is no mountain. It is a time when sudden realizations and new information may create tremendous excitement within the self and a time when the dark night of the soul can plunge one into the abyss of the deepest sorrow and grief, and yet always with the feeling that one is actually a spirit rather than a body and that one is experiencing a dream and that nothing is terribly important. It is a precious time in many ways and much good comes from the seeking that is done during this time.
Beyond that time, there comes a time of reintegration, the dream and prison coming together to form a new picture, which is that of the kingdom, a realm, a magical place. We find that this is where many of you within this circle are attempting to live at this time and we commend you for having moved along the path of seeking, through so many bends and curves and difficulties in the road, that your spiritual maturity has begun to allow you to see the riches of the illusion, the tremendous richness of the environment that has been provided for this school of life that you experience during incarnation. It is a time when the bitterness begins to dissolve. There is no longer anger at having to work for a living or feed the body or cleanse the body or take of the environment that one has chosen. The prison doors open because there is freedom to see the blessing of everything. There is no need to justify suffering and duty and all of the unpleasantness of life because it is finally seen not as that which limits and narrows the light, not as that which may be attended to but not taken seriously, but that which has been given as a tremendous gift, each gift, each moment coming fresh from the Creator. That is the time of kingdom. That is the time of jubilee. And it is truly the first place, shall we say, within the mind from which a point of view may be taken that has great depth, so that you may survive those realizations which shall come when you have become unafraid of the prison and unafraid of the dream.“
Whoa Quan…

"As we understand the Creator…there is no entity or image which is the object of your seeking. Rather, as all things are vibration and constantly in motion, you seek the totality of vibration and motion. And as you become accustomed to this acceptance of the illusion of that which is solid and the reality of that which vibrates and moves endlessly as does light, you become truly aware for the first time of the unified and integrated nature of all that there is. And you can at last see that the object of your search lies deep within you…deep within every cell of your body, within every cell and iota of your mind, and within every speck of that shuttle which is consciousness in motion, the spirit of the living Creator. "
The next part continues on …
“This livingness of the Creator is that livingness of you and all of those around you: all creators, all mirrors of the sacred for you, that you may see the Creator in everyone, in every bush and tree, in all of the elements, in all of nature, and most of all, within yourself.”
Yes most of all within yourself… as suppose its common sense isnt it? yourself is most closest

"It is not only intent, but intent carried through with even and steadfast perseverance that creates personal power. "
and
“for your intent will bring you that which you desire. The only variable is what you call time, and there are mysteries in each entity’s life pattern having to do with the higher self’s choice of lessons to be learned in any incarnation which may prohibit the apparent perception of enlightenment. Be patient with yourself at all times. Ask of yourself only that you be faithful once you have decided to seek the truth.”

"That energy which created all that there is may be seen to be the center of all that there is. This field of love is of a nature which is reproduced and is the stuff of all levels of vibration which stem therefrom. "

“ …The seeker does not need to remove the dark side of the nature in order to progress. Rather, the seeker needs to come to an inner understanding of its particular workings, looking for ways to achieve such a discipline of the character and personality that the darker images are disciplined and allowed to move through appropriate channels. We are suggesting that once the dark nature of the will is grasped, the positively oriented seeker can then begin to see that shadow self as an asset rather than viewing it as an enemy. The processes by which one becomes able to discipline this dark side is individual and each seeker …continues to discover, accept and discipline new aspects or newly perceived aspects of that dark genius. We are asking each seeker, then, to take into the heart the full spectrum of self and to love each and every aspect and yet to find ways to express only those things which are intended. We do not wish you to run away from what is one of the great strengths of the self.”
Easy example is anger can be transformed to grit an drive to continue in most testing circumstances…
Quan, so right on. In other words, everything is a tool. Dark helping to see light. If we had no dark to dive into, there would be nothing left to do and evolve.
Ahh yes thank you an even more it gives an excuse to share this story… prob one of longest stories in the transcripts but exactly about that subject

“Truths come and they go, and they are useful for one person only. Each of you will find some truths to last for years, incarnations; other truths to last a week or a month or a year.”
So evolve with you personal truth a let it evolve with you …

" The greatest enemy of service is that detachment that comes from constant discouragement, that weariness of soul and emotions that causes you to think, “What’s the use? What does it all mean?” When you wonder what it means, turn to those things that comfort and heal you. And we would have some suggestions there, for there are some sturdy friends that you have, not just in spirit, but in the world around you. Your greatest companion, the one who loves you without stint, lies directly out your window. Mother Earth, the world of nature, first and second density, loves you without stint and knows no other way to be. For [first and second density] are not behind the veil as are you. They are aware of the Creator and the oneness of all things and they dance with all things including you.When there is despair and discouragement lurking within you…cast yourself upon the bosom of Mother Earth. She can take all the negativity that you feel and she can heal it by her sanity and her perspective. "
“loves you without stint and knows no other way to be” Image comes to mind of a animal that is familiar to you… upon seeing you the excitement and love in its eyes…
"When you wonder what it means, turn to those things that comfort and heal you. " cough daily quote cough oops did I just say something… hmm nah
I was delighted with the Q’uote about returning to Mother Earth for spiritual sustenance.
I feel very close to “Pachamama” (Quechua word meaning literally “earth mother”) and the way my personal “mission” was brought to my attention was like Mother Earth speaking directly to my heart.
I feel that the past 10 years or so, since that revelation, has been spent constantly being guided by a higher plane being, our Solar Sub-logos to be specific, who is a fountain of loving care and fills my personal 3D experience with amazing synchronicities confirming “solicitude” and a deeply personal love. Despite my best efforts to subvert everything!
The way I have come to view things is that we all are “organs” of the body of Gaia/Pachamama/Solar Sub-logos/whatever-title and moving into 4D as a whole. Some parts of the body may seem “cancerous” or malfunctioning. This may be shortsighted in the long view. But we all play a vital part in this Body we love.
Looking at the entire “Inner Planes” level, Ra’s “plenum of unlimited potential” , as well as the Outer Planes, the solution radically is only a change of heart away. We can be a vital part of that change of heart. By finding love in the present moment everywhere. And sending that finding of love into the planetary nexi, as Ra tells us.
I feel very akin to what you are saying , Lonevrox9.

"No matter how much you yearn to be able to say, “I am me,” you shall never understand the totality of who you are because so much of it is lost up in the part of you that is not of this density and not of this world but is rather of all densities and all worlds. Stretching out the self and shaking off the clothing of an incarnation is a wonderful exercise. You cannot shake away your core identity. For it is from this identity that you have the focus to draw breath. Your identity is far deeper than what you came in with at birth and far deeper than what you will leave with when you enter the gates of larger life. Your identity at heart is that of the Creator. "
Haha “Stretching out the self and shaking off the clothing of an incarnation is a wonderful exercise.” yes gets like that… start to feel bit restless and strange … a good stretch and warmup to get going again!
And to dig a bit deeper, skim the surface so to speak…
"Our basic concept is that of, as this instrument said earlier, helping each of you to come into a celebration of yourself. We do not encourage this celebration on the level of third density. It is not our orientation to encourage the energies within you of personality. We do not object at all to your personalities! However, as this instrument said earlier, the personality shell that each of you brought into incarnation was brought in order that you might have the tools and resources that you needed in order to follow the agenda that you had set out for yourself prior to incarnation. The resources that you gave yourself included people such as your parents and many people within your life with whom you had made agreements before incarnation. They were not necessarily agreements to work together for the service of the one infinite Creator. In some cases, they were agreements to clear up or balance adhering catalyst that sometimes is called karma by your peoples. Some of these people showed up in your life as people with whom you seemed to have nothing but a continuing argument or for whom you could not feel as you “ought,”—and we use that word in quotes—especially people in your family whose object, in this incarnation, seems to be to create interference and resistance in your own pattern.
In many cases, this person was chosen specifically so that you could work on loving yourself. It is often very difficult to approach in a direct way the central challenge of loving the self and so you are given mirrors. Sometimes the mirrors are loving and honest and you get a pretty fair image of yourself, one that you can look upon with some feelings of stability and trust in that image that you are seeing.
When you look at yourself through the mirror of other entities, such as those about whom we spoke, those that give you the catalyst, the interference and resistance, you are a looking at a very skewed and distorted mirror of yourself and yet it is a mirror of those parts of yourself with which you have had arguments in the past, perhaps not even in this lifetime but in between incarnations or in other incarnations. Perhaps you do not have adhering catalyst with this entity. Perhaps you put that entity in your life simply to learn to love without expectation of return. However, as you forgive that entity for its skewed picture of you, you begin to see that you have only to forgive yourself in order to create room within that portion of yourself that we would call the heart."

"… The one great original Thought,…that unconditional love, which is the very nature of the infinite Creator, birthed the mechanism and the way of manifestation of all illusion. For, you see, all except the mystery is some kind of illusion. So all of that which seems real is the illusion and that which is the mystery is that which is real. You come, therefore, into the land of paradox and mystery. And then you know you are on the right track. "
So… embrace the mystery, an laugh at the paradox?
