The Superpower of Calmness and its Beneficial Qualities

Calmness comes from stillness. Stillness is the superpower that is calmness. If there is strength in doing something, there is strength in doing nothing.

Both will take power. Staying still and silent, especially when our moment is telling us to scream and shout, is an accomplishment because of the strength it takes to remain still.

Having that strength is having a superpower. It is important to instil strategies and practice acquired knowledge, so we have a shield from the world. These practices and strategies are things we can control and use against the things we can’t control.

Calmness is a Spiritual State

With everything being continuous, like the mind ever active, the earth ever spinning, the sun ever rising and falling, being able to be still is not a norm. It is actually not even a thing of this physical realm at all but of the spiritual realm. Calmness is a spiritual phenomenon because natural phenomena advocate movement.

When we are still and quiet and thus calm, we transcend the natural. Being calm is a spiritual state done by the body. We need our body to be calm, it is what encapsulates that calm. It is what is in need of calmness. The physical is in need of the spiritual for wholesomeness.

Calmness Is a Superpower

It is wealth if calmness is the quality of our emotions and thoughts because then what rules our being is a spiritual phenomenon. Spiritual reality is the deepest quality to control anything we possess (like emotions, thoughts, body) because the spirit is the deepest state of our being and it is what and who we are.

Calmness is the cure for being reactive. When we are reactive, outward forces are the ones controlling us, but when we are proactive, we are able to watch a situation unfold in front of us without being controlled by it or pulled in by it. Calmness is mindfulness.

Calmness Is a Verb

Those who master practising calmness, through the fruit of self-control from the Holy Spirit, have control over their lives. They master being in control of their life because they are in control of themselves as empowered by the Spirit of God, and when a dark force in a moment demands their retaliation, their reaction is no reaction. Their reaction is thus the opposite of that dark force. Their reaction is light because unlike whatever activity they encounter, their reply with inactivity (stillness—quiet contemplation) to it.

As stated above, such a phenomenal spiritual possession has a specific Source, and that is God Almighty’s Holy Spirit living within us. Self-control is His fruit and to have this superpower we must have Him within us and our life.

It is quite profound what calmness means, especially because we are only calm inwardly when our outward is noise. We never calm up, we calm down because noise is loud, noise is up high. So, we leave it where it is for a place without it in practicing calmness.

The goal is for there to be no amount of time between a troublesome moment and calm. For the troublesome moment to be met by calm. And remember, all we need to do to be calm is remember that we are equipped to be calm by the Spirit of God. All we need to do is choose calmness. Calmness is a practice we actively do in order to achieve.

Calm is a verb we must consistently practice for it to come organically to us. We must go from practicing calm as a verb we do to being a calm person. Practice is the key to achieving all our desired states of being that we have access to from God.

Changing our environment from whatever it is to calm will take hard intentional internal work, but it is achievable through consistent practice. It’ll be hard because old habits will be fighting new habits, but every habit was once done for the first time for it to be a habit. So, we are certainly able to create new great habits.
