There is then nothing to be silenced. Silence & stillness is ever present, as our natural state of being.

That is a very wonderful and insightful statement. It is sort of what I have been saying, except acknowledging that and aspect of our consciousness may be confined to our human mind-body configuration as you have stated. That which is being silenced is very small compared to the silence itself.
