In a recent interview, Lujan Matus engaged in a thought-provoking discussion about the idea of the great Exodus, particularly the Exodus from our inner silence.

This concept touches upon a fundamental aspect of human existence – our connection to our true selves and the forces that often draw us away from it.

The Exodus Begins

At the core of this notion lies the idea that, as children, we possess an innate sense of inner silence and knowing. We are complete, sustained, and driven by the fundamental need for love and care. However, as we grow, society introduces a different narrative. We are presented with the proposition that something external has the potential to make us happy and that our inner completeness is not enough. This, according to Lujan, marks the beginning of the Exodus.

In this context, the Exodus signifies a departure from our center – a departure from the understanding that we are inherently whole and complete. Instead, we seek fulfillment and validation from external sources, whether material possessions, societal approval, or achievements. This shift in perspective is where the journey away from inner silence commences.

Staying Centered Amidst Chaos

Remaining centered in a world that constantly bombards us with expectations and demands can be challenging. It’s not about eschewing goals or aspirations but not allowing them to become traps that pull us away from our true selves. Goals are a part of life, but when they start dictating our worth or happiness, they become part of the Exodus.

Lujan emphasizes recognizing when we are being infringed upon by external influences that disrupt our inner silence and vulnerability. It can be disorienting when someone or something challenges our sense of self. We might retreat into protective modes, questioning why we’re under attack. This is where our innocence gets compromised, and we start seeking ways to shield ourselves from perceived threats.

Returning to the Garden of Eden

Lujan beautifully describes this inner sanctuary as our “Garden of Eden” – a safe haven where our inner silence and vulnerability are cherished. It’s a place where we can communicate through deep feelings, transcending the limitations of words. Yet, as we venture into the external world, we may encounter experiences that don’t align with this innocence.

This can lead to a cycle of departure and return, like the Exodus narrative itself. We encounter moments of genuine connection and vulnerability, but we also encounter situations where our vulnerability is exploited or misunderstood. The key, Lujan suggests, is to remain connected to our inner silence while navigating the external world.

Embracing Inner Silence

The great Exodus from inner silence is a journey that most of us embark upon, often unknowingly. However, understanding this concept can empower us to recognize when we’re straying from our true center. It’s a reminder to remain connected to our inner selves amidst the chaos and noise of the world, fostering a deep sense of inner peace and authenticity.

The journey back to inner silence is profound, marked by self-discovery and resilience. It’s a reminder that we can find our way back to our inner sanctuaries, our own “Garden of Eden,” by honoring our vulnerability, connecting with our true selves, and embracing the wisdom of inner silence.
