Thoughts...

[InfiniteNow]

Back in the stone ages when language wasn't so advanced as it is today, it might have been to the individual's benefit to be more in tune with things like body language and the subtleties and nuances of what was being said, not so much as the actual words, like today.

As if they were empathic... :shrug:

So how does blind and deaf people experience 'thoughts'?

 

I recommend reading some of Helen Keller's books for insight into this thoughtful question.:)

As I just read this myself, an interesting side note is that my cousin Jonathan Chapman, AKA Johnny Appleseed, was a follower of Swedenborg as well.:hihi:
