Annual Global Silent Minute

ANNUAL GLOBAL SILENT MINUTE
21 December 2025 Half Hour Program from 8:45pm to 9:15 pm GMT
22 December 2025 SYDNEY from 7:45am to 8:15am AEDT

We are offering a half hour program for the annual Global Silent Minute on 21/22 December 2025 in which we will launch the theme for daily reflection throughout 2026 and share a Global Silent Minute together. Scroll down for information on how to participate.

Our theme for 2026 is to radiate Truth through Silence as Action.

In the preceding three years we have held a sustained focus on Truth with its themes:

2023 to re-orient to the compass of Truth
2024 to restore Truth through Silence as Action
2025 to resurrect Truth through Silence as Action

In 2026, we will continue to build on this sustained focus.

Always sub-standing our focus on Truth has been the intimate connection with the Heart.

The sun radiates what it is. We too radiate who and what we are moment to moment through the heart. As “sun-hearts” in incarnation, we radiate within the constellation of our communities wherever we may be.

We will continue to apprehend the dynamic simplicity of the mysteries of Truth throughout 2026 as we consciously focus the living distribution through the radiation of Truth through us – through our thoughts, words and deeds.

Before we open our mouths to speak or take a step in action, our thoughts sound forth, preceding us, ever present, radiating from the essence of our being through the heart.

It is said in the teachings on the Yoga of the Heart (one of the myriad names for the Yoga of Synthesis also known as Agni Yoga or the Yoga of Fire) that:

“Just as the sun is the heart of the system, the human heart is the sun of the organism”. Heart, 62.

The powerful fire of the heart – the sun-heart – with its magnetic warmth makes it shine forth like a true sun.

The sunlike heart is said to create the Cosmic Ordinances and guard the Teachings on Truth down  the ages.

All impediments to Truth yield before the magnetic fire of the sun-heart and, it is said, there is no power like this Sun of Suns which resides within each and every one if us.

Vivisecting Truth through intellectual analysis immediately takes us out of the heart whose essence is synthesis. It is said that the main success of the dark ones is in their methods of creating disunity and that they succeed when co-workers fail to realize the seriousness of the moment, and when they neglect and put aside urgent matters. (Letters of Helena Roerich, volume I, 21 October 1931). However, the all-embracing heart knows because it sees the SUN in diSUNity. For more on this practice refer to https://sydneygoodwill.org.au/the-practice-of-magnifying-the-sun-in-disunity/

The Teaching about the Heart is as bright as the sun, and the warmth of the heart speeds as swiftly as a sunbeam.

We look forward to serving together as we collectively unite our hearts around the globe and across the veil to radiate Truth through Silence as Action in thought, word and deed.

THE RADIANT POWER OF THE SUN-HEART

The fire of the heart –
This sun of suns
The sunlike heart
Sun-heart!

Fuelled by the Light of Living Truth
Each conscious beat
Radiates
Near and Far

Warming – like the rays of the sun
Near and Far

We are truly guardians of space –
Near and Far

Each ray of Fire

From the heart of our Sun
Through our sun-hearts
radiates and creates
Humanity’s
Temple of the Heart

The ancients’ understanding of the intrinsic and intimate link between the sun and the heart is of long-standing.  Sūrya-Vidyā – or Solar Knowledge – was a name sometimes given to the Teaching of the Heart, a name that expressed the fieriness, the sun-like quality, and the centrality of the heart. (Heart, 339) Within this teaching is also the understanding that the heart cannot be approached as merely a part of the organism. Nor, given its centrality can it be approached through a vivisectionist mind-set. Indeed, according to the Yoga of the Heart, the heart needs to be studied “outward from it, not inward toward it”.  That is, the way of the Heart can only be known through the mysterious process of identification with it.

Now, and in our daily reflection throughout 2026, let us radiate Truth through Silence as Action in thought, word and deed wherever we are as we purify the space for which we are guardians as we build together the Temple of the Heart.
