What is it like to be absolutely quiet, and why can t humans adapt to it?

Absolute silence means that one cannot hear any outside sounds, only the sounds inside one's own body. People can't communicate in such an environment, and there will be a certain amount of anxiety in their hearts, so humans can't adapt to it.

Because the human brain becomes very impatient when it does not receive a single sound from the outside world. And the absolute silence is the absence of any noise. That's why humans can't adapt.

Because humans have been in a noisy environment for a long time and have adapted. In absolute silence, humans can even hear the sound of their own blood flowing. This puts the human brain in a state of high tension and can lead to a nervous breakdown.

Human beings are social animals, and our most developed senses are hearing, smell, and touch. The anechoic chamber is similar to the sensory stripping experiment, and the main use of hearing and smell in group life can detect compatriots at a distance and stay away from danger. Most people are afraid of being alone, especially in absolutely silent spaces.

You can't hear anything other than yourself in this space, and the gradual loneliness can make you weak and irritable because you can't get out of the situation. It's like if you put a beast in a cage, it can't communicate with its own kind, it can't run, and it can't breathe familiar air. Human beings are born to grow up in an environment full of sound, which is already a part of your life, and without this part, the brain will lose a lot of judgment, so you need to find something else that can help you in your judgment.

Auditory hallucinations and tiny sounds will appear in your head to let you know what environment you're in and comfort your brain for judgment.

The human brain is always active (during waking hours), which requires constant feedback from the outside world as a material, on which the brain builds emotions and judgments, etc., and when the feedback such as sound and light disappears, what does the brain do? First, the cerebral cortex is stationary, so if it can really do this, it may cause a lot of irreversible damage, and second, continue to operate, but the material is gone, then find it from memory, and carry out secondary creation, so there is an illusion, in which there will be self-doubt, self-denial, fear, and finally may be completely addicted to the illusion, which is a mental illness.

I think one of the main reasons why I can't withstand an absolutely quiet environment is that in an absolutely quiet environment, I will amplify and hear the inner "sounds" of my body and mind, such as heartbeat, tinnitus, and even the sound of blood flow and blood vessels beating, which is physical and spiritual, and I will hear (imagine listening) my inner loneliness, evil thoughts, greed, etc., and feel that I have been stripped away. In fact, this state is an excellent opportunity to understand oneself.

People have the five aggregates, and only when they are liberated from the thoughts of color and enter the aggregates, they will hear the heartbeat and blood, and the sound inside the human body in normal times. If you usually want to experience it, you can cover your ears with your hands while sleeping, and you can hear it, the blood is rushing, the heartbeat is like a drum, and the higher the concentration, the louder the sound. If you break the line, you won't be able to hear these voices.

Therefore, the practitioner who has broken the line can stay in an absolutely quiet environment for a long time.

I guess there's a misconception here, it's not that people can't adapt to absolute quiet. It is a problem that it is difficult to adapt to an external environment with a large gap in the moment. If you only lower the decibels every day, as long as you have a suitable buffer period, you will get used to it after a long time, even if it is 20 decibels.

For example, if people wear short sleeves and the temperature is around 30 degrees Celsius, if they are put in an environment of minus 10 degrees without clothes, he will definitely not be able to adapt to it. Moreover, it has a lot to do with personal psychological quality and personal wisdom cultivation. Practitioners like to be quiet, and the quieter the environment, the more conducive it is to contemplating ......

I think it's more of a psychological fear than the mute itself. Especially when experiencing it for the first time. And the sudden disappearance of hearing, as the second largest sense of human perception of the world, can cause fear in the brain.

It's like opening the curtains one morning and finding that the sky is black and red instead of blue and white. Imagine what it would be like to wake up one day and find that both arms are gone, and it's easy to see why we can't accept absolute silence.

Absolute silence means that there is no vibration, no ...... of energy conductionAnd a person's body is in cyclical motion all the time! When you enter that state, it means that you are the absolute God, the Creator, and you will experience the taste of chaos and loneliness! It's not terrible not to hear sounds, it's terrible to have no vibrations, which means there are no other living beings besides you! ‍‍

Because the test subject has a choice, and the real hearing loss person has no choice, only to adapt, do you know how painful this adaptation process is, how crazy and devastating, not everyone can bear it...

Because humans are social animals, if you stay alone in a very quiet environment, it will make a person feel depressed, anxious, irritable and other mental diseases, and I will make the whole person collapse.

I think it may be that in absolute silence, we can't receive other information, which will cause confusion in the brain and other senses, so we can't adapt.

02. Humans are social animals.

In fact, no matter how withdrawn people are, they also need to communicate and communicate with the outside world, because people themselves are social animalsTherefore, it is human nature to live in society. And if you are in an absolutely quiet environment, most people will not be able to adapt to such an environment, and they will feel fear and loneliness from the psychological situation. It's like most people can't accept being alone in a room for a week without any interaction with the outside world.

Because humans can only adapt to a relatively quiet environment, and an absolutely quiet environment is easy to frighten, it is difficult for humans to adapt.

No one is an island. Absolute silence will give a sense of exile.

The main reason for this is because an absolutely quiet environment can cause a lot of stress on people's hearts. And it will stimulate some fears and bad emotions in people's hearts, so people can't adapt to an absolutely quiet environment.

Because this has an absolute relationship with human nature's active nature and love of being lively, when a person is in an absolutely quiet environment, he will become very irritable and irritable, and have nothing to do. So people can't enjoy this environment at all, they can't survive in this environment.

Physiologically speaking, when people are in an absolutely quiet environment, they can clearly hear their heartbeat, and the fear of the unknown will be amplified, and the sensory nerves will be more sensitive.

Human beings are emotional creatures, we have always had sounds in our lives, we have become accustomed to an environment with sounds, and our arrival in an absolutely quiet environment will cause us great discomfort and make us feel agitated.

Because this is a genetic problem, we used to be vigilant about the outside environment when we lived in the forest, so we were especially unable to adapt to the absolute silence.

I don't know if you have ever experienced absolute silence, but I once went to a psychiatrist's clinic to experience it. A room with no other exit than a door, surrounded on all sides by white walls, made of sound-absorbing materials that make no noise audible. When I went in, I closed the door at first, and it felt fine, but all of a sudden all the outside sounds were gone.

I've never experienced it before, but I'm still quite excited.

Before entering, I was asked to keep everything in my pocket, such as my phone, wallet, and keys. After entering, I could only sit on the white floor, and within two minutes I started to feel a little bored. A feeling of sadness arose spontaneously from the heart, irrepressible, and the whole person felt a sense of frustration.

After a few more minutes, my mood became worse and worse, and I felt abandoned by the whole world. Sadness turns into loneliness and isolation. The heart began to stir, and since there was no sound in this small world, he instinctively wanted to make some sounds, so he stomped his feet in the room and stepped on the floor hard.

But the voice only made me feel more lonely, the four white walls spread out infinitely, and I felt that I was in an infinitely white space, and I was the only one in the world.

I couldn't stand it anymore, and I talked to myself from Zheng Zeyu to talking loudly, but it was even worse. Because I found that in this world, no one listens to me, no one pays attention to me.

The restlessness in my heart became more and more obvious, and I felt more powerful and a little anxious. I could hear the sound of my swallowing saliva, the sound of my heart beating, the sound of my stomach and intestines pounding. With each breath, the lungs hiss.

An inexplicable fear began to envelop me, and everything around me began to freeze, except for the sounds that only my body could hear. <>
