| Re: Does wisdom lead to silence? This is interesting. I myself have lived life mostly silent. I tend to turn away from all things in favor of my own thoughts. When I was very young, I would fake being sick, so I could be home alone with my thoughts, when I was supposed to be in school. Alone with our thoughts, unification of one's self to the absolute can be sensed. With practice, as with anything else, one learns to travel the paths of higher conciousness to an ever deeper place within one's self. It can be addictive, after all, we all have OCD's of some sort. What I'm always learning to do for myself, is to go in and out at will, whenever and however I like. It's freedom of creativity without getting trapped within. I can almost glipse what it's like to be autistic. There are many places to become trapped. I even notice myself in a rocking pattern at times when I'm alone with my thoughts. It's like when the swinging motion soothes a crying baby, and mind becomes one with peace. We are creatures that seek to sense peace within the truth, within the patterns, of motion.
