      It’s hard to express, but an example is the feeling that you suddenly know something, got an idea, an eureka moment. I’m saying that all thought is like that, but less… intense. And we use language to “register” that as what we usually call “think”; but we don’t need language to do that, it’s just easier with it.

        Interesting thought! This feels very related to Zen. Love to find more on this.
