Hi Andrew, I came across a website yesterday of which I thought the non-verbal and non-audible video material would be of interest to you. And then I somehow forgot to go back to the Minds Eye website and find the appropriate thread to link this info for you to find it. Shame on my laziness. Here is the link now: http://www.nature.com/nphys/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nphys2560.html

I have written a new chapter to my "Think Park - A Journey thru space and time" publication/video that made me think more about thinking. Whenever I think, I seem to be talking to myself, I can think about something in my memory by imagining and reliving sensations I remember, but whenever I think about those memories, I ultimately revert to talking to my self (up to now, fortunately silently). Do others in this group of thinkers have the same experience? If yes, why do you think that it is like that? If not, how do you manage to think without mentally talking it out? The excerpt of my new chapter that started me thinking about this line of thought is below:

"Before men could talk, they groaned and grunted.  Just like with crying and laughing, it was sometimes difficult to tell the difference between displays of sorrow and joy, or pain and pleasure.  At the 60 meter point from the start of the think park, about 18,000 years ago, man started to use words to display his emotions. Words helped man to think and enabled him to articulate and share his inner most thoughts.  Pictures and written words enabled his thoughts and his knowledge to be stored for later contemplation and to be scattered like seed to grow.  This cultivation, communication and sharing of thoughts, knowledge and experience resulted in the growth of agriculture that enabled civilizations to flourish."
