Silence, stillness, peace, being, clarity, freedom, bliss, awareness, the Self, the Absolute.

Look close, and you’ll see they’re all negative terms.
Silence is the negation of sound.
Stillness is the negation of activity.
Peace is the negation of agitation.
Being is the negation of doing.
Clarity is the negation of confusion.

Freedom is the negation of constraint.
Bliss is the negation of reactivity.
Awareness is the negation of dreaming and distraction.
The Self is the negation of otherness and alienation.
The Absolute is the negation of contingency.
