We Just Make Noise
Animals make noise to communicate – “I exist!”.
Humans communicate to make noise – “I exist!”.
This reaffirms the idea that the I exists.
Meaningful communication has many levels, indicating the layers of confusion that obscure enlightenment. If a conversation isn’t about a level of enlightenment, then what is it? Noise.
This world is intent on innovating, and making a noise about it. We feel compelled to echo that noise, adding to the chattering.
Silence is pure consciousness.
Silence is golden.
