Why is it that I seem to think in words? It's hard to describe really, but when I'm articulating a thought in my head I talk to myself. Without words, I don't seem to understand what in the world it is I'm thinking about or seem unable to contrive of thoughts without words. Maybe it's the semi-academician approach I've been taking towards my worldview for years, but it's an interesting insight.
I'm trying to catch myself thinking without the dialogue and I don't see it. Maybe I don't currently, or maybe the only thinking I'm capable of without dialogue is just feelings, sensations, emotions etc. where there's something to replace the abstraction of language that I use to intuit my own thoughts.
It's amusing me also I've been using Livejournal as a meditation journal lately.
