Quietism

Quietism is a spiritual and philosophical perspective emphasizing inner stillness and passive surrender to divine or universal truth. It advocates for a state of internal calm and detachment from active striving, struggles, or external concerns, believing that enlightenment or inner peace comes through relinquishing ego, control, and mental noise. Practitioners aim to achieve a harmonious, quiet mind and trust that spiritual understanding unfolds naturally when one ceases to force or resist. Historically associated with certain Christian mystics and philosophical traditions, Quietism promotes a gentle, receptive approach to spiritual growth and self-awareness.
