Re: Mind's Eye Re: Voice in the head

I am aware of some kind of silent presence Andrew, though I can't do the work to articulate it directly.  Einstein talked a lot about this in terms of knowing, visualising but not being able to communicate even to the esoteric language-game players who might understand.  We had an outside loo with no windows when I was a kid.  One could sit in there pondering relativity as one could be in outer space accelerating at 1g with a bit of forgetting the trip from the kitchen.  I could imagine the space rocket bit then, but lacked the equivalence box theory - school had me doing times tables and other useless junk my mother had already taught me.

Words run about in my head - those very ones and these just did.  Something else about communicating with others seems there in accompanying silence.  Sometimes, not always in dreaming there is a lot of visual activity - sometimes memories of trauma and sometimes over trivia.  I get little from meditation and sometimes used medication to get some peace.

Schizophrenics report hearing voices telling them to do things - it's outside my scope to describe this, though I've read clinical reports.  Reagan had a radio to god.

It is not that I "hear" words in my head. I just articulate my thoughts with silent words.

I probably enjoy being confused by you Gabby. Allan, don't worry too much about the voices inside your head - I left the radio on.

Andrew - I'm off walking the hounds to think about what you've said.  Back to gruffle-wuffle later.  In talking of voices in the head, one has to be careful lest one get a schizo-diagnosis from someone who has read the DMS and a certificate from the madness authority to lock you up.  In the park, people find my dog-talking perfectly reasonable and many join in.  7 Acres would make a great sculpture park - imagine the dogs as art critics and people, finally, with something to lean on ... just a voice in my head Tony - nothing to do with me, just a left-over from one of Allan's Wendanta's (Peter Pan version).

And let me add: listen to something and/or someone new. I don't want to further confuse Neil with the aimlessness of my conversation style.

That's how we learn how to read and fall back to when words and meanings are jumbled up. It is a technique to disrupt the others flow of automated response. It is oftentimes the only chance to get others to listen to something new to them. Otherwise you have to keep using the slow, indirect feeding of attractive or fearful imagery, but you cannot be sure that they really get there where you want them to get.
