With the pronouncing of the Word, speech became primary, but silence remained ______. The heart of Christian meditation is to return to this primordial state of being. It is a journey from words into the creative word of God; this word is ______ by silence. By its very nature, silence is ______, often purposeless and for that reason very frightening.
it is the ______ pre-existing
autonomous
The blank describes silence as a fundamental, self-sufficient pre-existing entity. Autonomous means self-governing or independent, fitting the passage's portrayal of silence as a foundational reality that exists on its own before creation.
Enormous refers to physical size; disastrous means destructive; acrimonious means bitter — none describe an independent entity.
