I wonder if you would find it difficult to communicate with speech after that long.

would that include internet? that's not really talkin is it?

no its not talking, you could still write.

Originally posted by davinox Anyone think about doing it? I think it would be kind of cool, to just stop talking for a month and give no explanation.

was silent for a week during a meditation retreat. no talking except for practical stuff. basically no unnecessary communication. further (and this was more or less optional) i didnt listen to music, write, read, watch television, or in any way recieve unnecessary stimuli for the mind.

it was an interesting experience that i can recommend.

the first couple of days sucked. just wanted to leave. before the retreat started they told me that this is normal.

those thoughts passed. after that old stuff surfaced. since not much new input was given to the mind it started "eating on itself" by bringing up old stuff.

after 2-3 days of that it passed as well and i was just really calm. just enjoying my silence. i was in that state for a couple of days before the retreat ended. by then i didnt really want to start talking again. it was so peaceful not talking. for a period of time afterwards, i spoke less, hmmm maybe i still do. talking less crap anyway.

it is rarely necessary to talk. it can be nice, entertaining, whatever. but it is rarely necessary except in practical situations.

i recommend that you try staying silent a while. i dont know if you will experience it like i did, everyone is different, but i am sure it will be an interesting experience. do it.

Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind. Withering my intuition leaving all these opportunities behind. Feed my will to feel this moment urging me to cross the line. Reaching out to embrace the random. Reaching out to embrace whatever may come. I embrace my desire to feel the rhythm, to feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widow, to feel inspired, to fathom the power, to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain, to swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human. With my feet upon the ground I lose myself between the sounds and open wide to suck it in, I feel it move across my skin. I'm reaching up and reaching out, I'm reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me, whatever will be willed on me. And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been. We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been.

Spiral out. Keep going.

subuddha, thanks.

"i didnt listen to music, write, read" would be the toughest, but i think it would be good for me.

BTW, what kind of buddhism do you practice?
