Time Out for Something Spiritual: QUIET …with Surprise Special Guest
Notes: This is a transcription of a podcast that was recorded in March 2024 in which the Persian Gentleman made a surprise appearance to speak about the topic. The transcription has been slightly edited in order to put the words of the Persian Gentleman in the first person for simplicity of reading (as opposed to Michael having to keep saying, ‘And he says that… etc).
Tony: I think Michael and the Persian Gentleman are going to talk today about quiet. Michael, what is quiet?
Michael: Well, I’ll have to hand over to PG, as we call him …and he says that he wants to emphasise how difficult it is to establish communication between his vibration and our vibration on Earth. It is sometimes looked upon as something that must be easy …and why does it not happen more often?
The Persian Gentleman: It doesn’t happen more often because we have to break through (from our perspective) a cacophony of noise. And that cacophony of noise exists around the world but it also exists around most human beings. If you consider your focus of consciousness on a daily basis, how often is that focus on your phones, your computers, your televisions, what someone else is saying, what is happening in the world? There is somuch static, somuch noise.
And we see from many spiritual seekers a need to connect to us and, yet, those spiritual seekers will not take the time to shut out that static, to shut out that noise. How can you listen to us, how can we get through to you through a barrier of noise and physical input?
What you are seeking is spiritual input and there is no way around this because many spiritual seekers say: ‘I don’t want to become quiet. Oh, I can’t do it! I can’t sit there in the quiet for a couple of minutes.’
Then you can’t connect to us.
It is not that we won’t connect to you. You can’t connect to us because you have to calm down your consciousness. You have to push away the things of the Earth for a time each day to allow the things from higher vibrations permission to come in – to open that door. You have to quieten down that racket. It doesn’t matter for ten or fifteen minutes what is happening on your phone …it doesn’t matter what you are missing on your computer …it doesn’t matter what you want to catch on the television …it doesn’t matter what you want to say to someone else or have them say to you.
You have to create that void.
Isn’t there the saying that nature abhors a vacuum? You create the vacuum …and in come higher vibrations …in comes higher knowledge …in comes information that will transform your life …and in comes the vibration that connects to you, connects you to higher states of being and strengthens that connection so that the more often you do it – the more you become used to recognising that we are with you. And we are eager, willing and able to talk to you and pour in information, from our perspective, that will change your life and enhance your life and allow you to understand more about – well, life, the universe and everything!
Quiet is a vital state.
In seeking quiet you will realise how addicted you are to the things of the Earth …and it is an addiction. You will also see that many souls are frightened of the quiet. They cannot countenance being alone for a time with their own thoughts. How can you understand yourself if you are frightened of your own thoughts? How can you understand yourself if you are frightened of what might come into your mind, should you seek silence?
Silence is bliss. Silence is restorative.
In silence and in quiet moments your body is restored to health; your mind is restored to equilibrium and balance; and you are connected to vibrations that can nourish, guide and uplift you. And so, with many of the things that you seek solutions to on a physical level only (for example, when something is wrong), it never occurs to many souls to seek spiritual-light input to put things right. In many instances, first you should seek the advice, upliftment and regenerative qualities of the spiritual vibrations that are available to you in periods of silence.

I am not saying that you should not seek the advice, help and facilities that are available to you on an earthly level, but remember that those only link to the physical aspects of yourself and that you are first and foremost a spirit, and that if you seek an answer first and foremost spiritually, then the direction that you need to take on Earth will be given to you and many of the energies that you need to restore yourself to health, to a state of mental wellbeing, to a position where you know exactly what to do in any given situation …all those things will be made available to you in the quiet.
So, I would say it is vitally important for each soul on Earth, particularly those who are seeking spiritually, to become quiet for… only a short time each day, to dedicate ten or fifteen minutes to the pursuit of spiritual input, to the pursuit of spiritual understanding and to the necessary silence that restores you …that uplifts you …that heals you …that guides you …that points you in the right direction …and that, very importantly, connects you to the God that is within you and connects you to us and the information that we can give to you during those periods of silence.
Tony: Thank you, PG. I just wonder whether there are things that we as human beings can be doing on a daily basis. I know you mentioned putting ten minutes aside but could we sort of make (because it is an addiction, as you said) could we make a deal with ourselves that we turn the telly off perhaps for an hour where we would normally have it on, or half an hour where we turn our telephone off, where we build into our routine, if you like, something that is going to start the process of reducing the addictive power?
The Persian Gentleman: That is an excellent idea, Tony, and it also begins the discipline of bringing that into your life on a regular basis. And I have to stress again that the reason many people don’t do that, is because of an addiction to the constant buzz of earthly life …but also an addiction to the fear of what might happen if they become silent.
…And what happens when they become silent is far more beneficial than constant connection to input from earthly devices. There is nothing to be afraid of. There is far more to be afraid of on Earth and from earthly society and perspectives than there is from spending some time discovering who you are, understanding who you are and connecting to vibrations that will allow you not only to enhance your own life but to become a carrier and transmitter of the spiritual Light that is available via your heart that enhances you and brings into this world spiritual common sense and spiritual change that negates the violence, corruption, power seeking and greed of this world.
So, you become gradually, through becoming silent, a beacon that steers yourself and a beacon that steers others. And isn’t that what is needed at this time?
Tony: It certainly is. So, it is basically overcoming the addiction (as the opposite of quiet) which is the noise and the speed with which everybody wants to do everything.
The Persian Gentleman: Slowing everything down …you are not slowing everything down – you are slowing down the speed of the Earth and you are tuning into the harmonious rate of vibration that exists outside the illusion of earthly life.
