What's your favourite type of silence?

ah! i have seen a kardashian ass pic once.
weirdly, on the news, as it had apparently broken the internet

[chk071]

I feel some hate now. Need more silence.

[Unaspected]

When I don't hear my own thoughts. The voices in my head...

Agreed.

Inner silence is my favourite type of silence.

[chk071]

True, it's mine as well. Unfortunately, it happens the least times.

Unbearable silence

there is no such thing as silence on this planet

[himalaya]

There is. The Silence Of The Lambs.

In the Beginning was the Word

There are no productive sources (archai), as has been proven extensively by Socrates, and more concisely by even earlier philosophers, e.g. Gorgias. The Gospel of John is wrong by making this statement, as it goes against the primary aim of Christianity, which is to prove that there are no archai and no thing in itself. What is translated in English as 'the word' is logos in Greek - which is discursive reason, the demiurge. He creates the world in the homoiomata, as explained by Anaxagoras. This is the son that needs to be killed, in order to arrive at the Father - Helios Panoptes.

Before The Word, there was the Silence...

See, there can't be anything before an arche. And this silence: 1. was it silence itself - the auton - and 2. did it have a place, time, 'something after silence', was it perceptible, thinkable, expressible, etc. Also, there is no silence without sound. Therefore, it's the illusion of silence - because the thing itself is not found (auton hos akatalepton).

Primordial Silence

That's not saying much, I'm afraid. The correct term is aphasia - removing the narrative that creates the world.

But hey, those things are Secret!

when the voices in my head stop

[ccDuckett]

Did it suddenly get more quasi-Gnostic in here? Humans just can't resist pondering and arguing about meaning; we've been doing it for thousands of years.

Anyhow, no love for these guys in this thread?

@perfumer,

Did you mean to post in some philosophy-theology thread or forum?

[waiting man]

Psylence.
