Talk about "stuff"


Talk comes either from external information already there, or internal new information not yet there. Talk is a bridge between the "out there" and the "in here". Where are you?

Perhaps this requires a little bit of explanation - perhaps not?

When people talk - either to themselves or to others, it makes no difference - they are either talking about "stuff" perceived by their five very limited senses, or they are talking about "stuff" not perceived at all by the senses, but by the mind itself, thoughts about the operations of the brain.

When people talk about religion, politics, science, art, entertainment - particularly about how they perceive the "goings on" out there and their "thoughts and feelings" about that stuff - their talk comes from external information already there. They are in effect reporting Old Information already out there. That is, anyone out there could produce a similar report, and most likely does.

When people talk about everything else - particularly about the processes occurring internally, in the brain, in their thoughts and feelings and senses - their talk comes from internal information that is not already there. They are in effect attempting to discover New Information. That is, nobody out there could produce this New Information about you, but you, period.
