Thoughts are the shadows of our feelings — always darker, emptier, and simpler.
[Gedanken sind die Schatten unserer Empfindungen, — immer dunkler, leerer, einfacher, als diese.]
Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) German philosopher and poet
The Gay Science [Die fröhliche Wissenschaft], Book 3, § 179 (1882) [tr. Kaufmann (1974)]

Q&A with a person who does not have an internal monologue
Video description:
I interviewed Kirsten Carlson, a PA Student at Francis Marion University, who is one of the few people that do not have an internal monologue. She does not hear herself think and people wanted answers.
Learning without thought ends in a blur. Thought without learning will soon totter.

The book will, therefore, draw a limit to thinking,
or rather — not to thinking, but to the expression of
thoughts ; for, in order to draw a limit to thinking we
should have to be able to think both sides of this limit

This #Hidden #Power of #Water:

Water #memory allows water to retain #information about anything it has come in contact with and also receive information from #human #thought and #intention. It can, in effect, retain a ‘picture’ of any substance within its molecular core. Some scientists proved that water is also alive, a phenomenon known as structured water. Could it really be possible that water is ever recording a #history of its relationship with the world through molecular clusters? And if so, what is it doing with this information?

The founder of Subud, Bapak Muhammad Subuh Sumohadiwijojo (Bapak), explained that the latihan is a method of #worshipping #God that is open to #all #mankind and whose source is the power of God.
The practice of the latihan involves voluntary #surrender to the power of God. After quietening one’s thoughts and desires, one makes the intention to worship only God, who has the power to reach and move a #human #being from within, without any external means. This power is the #source of the #latihan. Once in such a quiet state, one may feel spontaneous vibrations or movements that derive from #divine #grace. By willingly following these movements, one can #experience a #worship #free #of #thought and #desire.

George Orwell on background music
The music-and if possible it should be the same music for everybody-is the most important ingredient. Its function is to prevent thought and conversation, and to shut out any natural sound, such as the song of birds or the whistling of the wind, that might otherwise intrude. The radio is already consciously used for this purpose by innumerable people. In very many English homes the radio is literally never turned off, though it is manipulated from time to time so as to make sure that only light music will come out of it. I know people who will keep the radio playing all through a meal and at the same time continue talking just loudly enough for the voices and the music to cancel out. This is done with a definite purpose. The music prevents the conversation from becoming serious or even coherent, while the chatter of voices stops one from listening attentively to the music and thus prevents the onset of that dreaded thing, thought. For
The lights must never go out.
The music must always play,
Lest we should see where we are;
Lost in a haunted wood,
Children afraid of the dark
Who have never been happy or good.
George Orwell, Pleasure Spots (1946)

This is an outstanding #documentary from #TruthstreamMedia produced in 2019 which looks at the #spiritual, #psychological and #thought #doctrine behind the Extinction Rebellion #cult which is now matching actual policy implementation being rolled out globally by politicians in an attempt to address “climate change”. There is a large element of occult ritual, as well as flawed “science” such as the claim that humans are causing it all, while the major pollutant role of the mega corporations are completely ignored.

“I speak out because I know #humans have the capacity for immense #strength, #compassion and #solidarity. I’ve seen it every day, throughout my working life. However, we are constantly pitted against each other by an establishment built upon the concept of ‘ #divide-and-rule.’
These divisions can only ever lead to #conflict. Often, that is the intention. Yet #division is not innate to us, rather we have it thrust upon us by leaders who promise #solutions but operate a strategy of #tension.
I firmly believe that #we, the #people, have the capacity #build a #better #society. I hope, through my writing and content creation, I can contribute, in a small way, towards reinvigorating #critical #thought.” #IainDavis #InThisTogether
