As we all know, the right side is constantly taking in stimulus that is constantly noted in many aspects of our being. But the "noise" of the language and organization of the left brain often needs to have the volume turned WAY down to hear the more subtle truths coming in from all senses. <br /><br />Turning that volume down is an acquired skill that in most adults must be practiced to be appreciated. As you mention in your previous post, children do it more naturally because not everything has been assigned by the left brain into some sort of "understanding" or category yet.<br /><br />Very true that some adults are severely lacking in this skill, but I'm not sure that I would say that it is a problem with being addicted to language...or worse, being taught that the input of the senses is merely the work of Satan as you suggest. Your personal disgust of Christianity clouds this thought a bit because you are talking about a human experience, but not all humans are raised with Christian logic as you well know.<br /><br />I think that it is interesting though, that you state "I perceive that the most devoted to precision in this word world can no longer think without words or hear the less articulate." especially because you are an individual who is a natural "author", and who appreciates and "plays" with words more than anyone I know.<br />Of course, you are also an individual who is highly skilled in "detaching" the noise as well...<br /><br />Peace & ponderings,<br />AAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
