Yes, we can carry on in such a higher state. Someone such as yourself with such a high level of spiritual consciousness, should be able to disconnect, if necessary, from "the restlessness and noise which ruffles you/us because of worldly concerns".
At the same time, keep in mind, messages appear to us in a variety of ways, it is not always in silent meditation. It is necessary to *listen* to all the sounds around us, in nature, in music, in the repetitive sounds of trucks or cars on a highway. Perhaps there are also messages in the restlessness and noise ? If you feel energy that is * ruffling you * , then disconnect from the source of it.
i totally agree with you about this. But thanks for reminding me. We just have to have to connect to our inner majic so that we can see that majic everywhere outside as well....'within ourselves and without the world'...
