Throughout my life, occasionally I will decide to try to stop thinking in words. It does not happen without great difficulty, but practice does make it possible. It is great when I am feeling selfish. My thoughts exist in a more pure form which I understand better. Ideas connect easier, things become clear. Language seems to muddy thoughts.
The downside, I feel, is a diminished ability to articulate even simple things. When I speak or write, my language is awkward and imprecise. People misinterpret the things I say. I wish I had some way to convey ideas without words. Art and music do this to some degree, but I am terrible at creating either, and they seem more suited toward expressing emotion rather than concepts or logic.
