How We Think
First, a thought on why ‘telling’ may be needed. Often we have thoughts about things but it takes a trained or disciplined mind to make those thoughts coherent within the mind. On the other hand, telling someone else those thoughts requires us to structure them, to connect them to other pieces of knowledge, and to form them into a coherent and understandable wholeness that often simply doesn’t occur while we’re just thinking them.
It is why the adage exists about the best way to learn something is to teach a novice - by doing so you’re forced back to basics and you get to structure within your mind things that might have been nebulous or which had gaps in the flow.
I’ve posted elsewhere here about the fields Sheldrake and Lipton are looking at, but let’s assume for now that we are fields who own bodies to interact with the 3D world. This would seem to open two pathways into Knowledge - there’s information that comes from outside us in the world, following the route of event, perception, reception. ie. something occurs, our senses pick it up and transmit it through the nervous system to the brain, where the data is coloured by emotion and passed to the processing area where less primitive connections can be made.
At this point, (hopefully, although most people ignore this step for most inputs) the being who sits behind all this will view the Mind contents and analyse what has come in and make a decision which causes an action of some type.
It’s that last step, or the lack of it, that causes so many of the problems in our world - too many people react instead of think and act.
