    Re: Does wisdom lead to silence?

    Thanks for such a sensually engaging video!!

    "Aural"....deep in ancient astrological wisdom is the statement..."we come into life through the (Cancer) womb.....we leave the five sense reality through the (Capricorn) ear...to reach the universal sound from the heart...(Gemini) pure communication of the universe..."
    If you follow astrological lore through the dictionary and key leading words that connect...you will eventually reach a specific point where underneath you will find the latin root..."Gemini...the 3rd ear...the little ear in the heart because Gemini is the symbol meaning "communication"

    Unspoken communication..."synesthesia or 12 tone equal synchronicity"...means, you are the 13th in the center balancing the 12 symbols of sense....balancing yourself in the center of 6 polarities or dimensions upon which you create...
    1) your sense of self identity and social identity
    2) your internal structure of security consciousness and sense of survival
    3) your lower and higher mental preoccupations.
    4) your private self and your public sense of self.
    5) your sense of self-dignity and sense of group awareness.
    6) your individual psycho-spiritual evolution or journey...


    Interesting video...thanks again...

    Re: Does wisdom lead to silence?

    Well I'm glad the Buddha and the Christ were not silent. That also goes for Plato, Aristotle and other Greek philosophers. Ditto for Newton, Einstein etc.

    Rather than wisdom leading to silence, I think silence leads to wisdom. LISTEN!!

    Best to all,

    Pat

    Re: Does wisdom lead to silence?

    Christ was the universal symbol of the 13th in the center with 12 aspects around him.

    I agree silence leads to wisdom....

    "In the beginning was the word"...sound, movement, vibration, tone....listening!!!!

    I have noticed that nothing sparks debate like controversy, and it does seem natural that when everyone is in agreement that there just isn't much to talk about. True wisdom and logic seem to have basic core irrefutable elements, so I wonder if that is why philosophy forums tend to either die down or become about something other than philosophy.

    Nice to see you dropping in, ggullet.

    People doing what they do, in both the virtual (photo-shopped) and the actual (some of these were NOT well thought out in advance ).

    Re: Does wisdom lead to silence?

    In one sense wisdom does lead to silence, I think. The more you know, the less you need to know. So there's less need for conversations, since conversations can be used to gain knowledge. However conversations may serve another purpose. It may be true wisdom to realize that you need conversations for your own well-being. Also perhaps it's wise to share your wisdom with others. Perhaps you don't need to learn more, but others may want to learn things from you.

    Re: Does wisdom lead to silence?

    Within silence and inner stillness wisdom is able to rise to the surface of awareness and so find fertile soil to grow.
