You know when you're all alone with nothing on. Not a sound is heard. You aren't on your phone typing away. The soft pitter patter of your thumbs dancing across the screen unheard. You just sit there in complete silence. I've heard from many that silence is helpful for clearing the mind. Yes it can be if there was ever truly silence. Everyone knows the ringing that happens in place of that oh so paranoid filled silence. After so ling of sitting there your mind starts to wonder making up fantasies of things that may never happen to you. Ones in which you may die. What most people don't do is continue to listen to this silence. I for one have done so so many times I've lost track of it. Right before I wrote this I sat here in my bed high above everyonw. Not a single sound not even from myself. Nothing was heard from around me. I continued to sit there enjoying the break from noise. As i sat there the sil3nce seemed to grow in pressure. My ear drums fell as if they are straining to hear atleast one thing. If you do not wish to test this yourself. I can tell you that from sitting so long in this deafening silence my ears felt as though I swam straight down to the bottom of a 20 foot pool. It's quiet uncomfortable if you ask me but If you force yourself through the discomfort you shall begin to hear others things. I've heard a heartbeating, breathing from the room below me, even a dogs nails scrapping across the kitchen tiles from the first floor. It may seem impossible to hear suck things while you are located near the attic almost 4 stories up, and yet I've heard it so clear. Once you get impressed you lose that capability so you have to restart to hear it all again. But remember the myth of the silence. The ringing is know to be people from another dimension talking, planning on how to cross over. If you conti i.e. to listen and train your ears and mind well enough you might just hear them. But remember there is no voice with no body
