Thoughts originate in silence. That’s the only place they can come from, because sound is an illusion. Without the ability to hear, there is no sound—only the vibration of air molecules colliding. Our thoughts might seem noisy in our mind, but there’s no actual sound associated with them.  

The brain remembers everything it has ever experienced. This has an impact on our behavior without us even realizing it. Sometimes this unconscious knowledge comes back to us at unexpected times. It can happen when we visit a familiar place, smell or taste something familiar (smell has the strongest relationship to memory), or when we dream. It can also happened when we quiet our busy mind.

When we quiet our mind, things that we didn’t realize we knew will come to us.
