What happens when we let go of all our thoughts and enter complete silence?

In this clip, Professor Donald Hoffman and Dr. Iain McGilchrist share their insights on how silence, stillness, and the act of “un-knowing” can help us access deeper truths about reality. Both agree that embracing silence allows us to receive wisdom beyond our thoughts, and this practice has been echoed in ancient wisdom traditions for thousands of years.
