Thought and thinking
Every time I watched Bill Clinton deliver a speech I was just blown away how he would go on and on and never stutter, never search for words and there was no jumping from one topic to another...in other words he just flowed like a river, endlessly and smoothly. (Right now I wish I would be a genius so that I could really explain what I am trying to say.) But I'll try. Obviously there has to be thinking involved in order for us to talk and clearly explain what we are trying to say. As a matter of fact, very systematic thinking... or we couldn't for example tell a story. We have to see the entire scenario in order to describe it to others.... But how can we possible "THINK" so quickly that it won't interfere with our speach? Well, I have never in my life read about this, not that I assume I'm the first human ever to try to analyse thoughts, but anyhow, these are my own thoughts and my own perception and I believe it to be correct. Back to thoughts and speaking. The reason we can think that quick (speed of light) is because we don't think in words (more about it in my previous post) but we think in images. Our mind is focused on the image that we want to talk about and that image is what feeds us all the words necessary to tell our soty. And for as long as we focus on a specific image, we can talk about it endlessly because the image is as easy to follow as reading from a book. And that's why so many people need to read their speeches (which is almost silly at times) because they are nervous and when you are nervous it's hard to follow this image and trust it to be there, when your part of your mind is paralyzed with fear (of public speaking.)
