Every generation is becoming more talkative. My grandparents were more silent than my parents. My parents are more silent than me. I am more silent than my kids. My kids are non-stop talkative. We are losing the power of silence. People who live in the villages and rural areas are more silent than those who live in towns.

This video is powerful...some people in the audience couldnt even shut up! Being silent is truly a skill...

finally a piano piece i can masterfully play

i really enjoyed hearing the people laugh in the background during the silence portion 😌 makes me want to remember to listen to the voices around me next time i go to a museum or a mall

I have a friend in Uni who loves silence. So I started to search for videos about the benefits of silence and that’s what I got.

Basically, be mindful.

Silence is Golden ✨🙏🏼😌

omg silence is music to my ear, i always did, it's working in my workplace and my home.

Have you ever heard anything more beautiful! Bravo Bravo encore encore!👏👏👏👏🏼👏👏

I find peace in the quiet.

Just last week at work early in the morning a coworker greeted me good morning, i greeted them back. I was silent and sitting there. Then that person ask with my name, "Is everything ok?". Yes, i just want to be silent.

Love it! So peaceful.....

Finally I found a video on Silence

so much thoughts in few moments of silence....thanks

Excellent, noteworthy and inspiring, thank you!

He gave silence a new definition by being silence. What I'm gonna say would be nothing, so I'm gonna keep silent.

He’s an incredible speaker

I've noticed that silence make's most people very uncomfortable. Most people try to fill silence with meaningless noise never shuting up. Im a quiet person who is comfortable with silence. So whenever I'm around people who can't stand silence, can't stand me.

Very insightful Neal, thank you ! ☺️

Silent is good but talk when your voice is needed and the truth has no silent!

Not talking, will take me much discipline and self control. Indeed, will def have many opps to practice 🤐🤭 Much worth the effort. Peace all 🙏✨✨✨

Thanks for this wonderful video.

When he sat at the piano just staring I know I'd be trying so hard not to laugh if I were there

Great rendition of Cage's masterpiece!

Wow one of the best TedTalks

The music of silence...

Ramana responded: “Contact with them is good. They will work through silence. By speaking, their power is reduced. Silence is most powerful. Speech is always less powerful than silence. So mental contact is the best.” Silence is the Eternal Stream of Speech In “Talks” many quotes of the Maharshi can be found, which make clear, that silence is the actual, direct and eternal speech, which flows heart to heart. “Silence is ever-speaking; it is a perennial flow of language; it is interrupted by speaking. These words obstruct that mute language. There is electricity flowing in a wire. With resistance to its passage, it glows as a lamp or revolves as a fan. In the wire it remains as electric energy. Similarly also, silence is the eternal flow of language, obstructed by words. What one fails to know by conversation extending to several years can be known in a trice in Silence, or in front of Silence - e.g., Dakshinamurti, and his four disciples. That is the highest and most effective language.” ) -- Miss Margaret Woodrow Wilson, daughter of the late President, told this correspondent today that she was happier than ever before and did not want to return to the United States. For four years she had been a sadhak or follower of Sri Aurobindo, India's most prominent mystic, in his asram here.

Extroverts be like: I can't take this anymore 😂😂😂

“True silence” is a quantum state of consciousness, not just “thinking” about what you are doing. Consciousness is kept in the “thinking mode” forcibly, just like that, it is not possible to get out of the Matrix of the “internal dialogue” (Collective Unconsciousness) and for 98% forever in this life.

I use to love ❤️ silence but tinnitus destroyed silence; sad 😞.

The best performance for any big events, flawless

9:20 to 14:35 skip if you don't want to understand this concept.

I’ve been saying this for years! Silence is power!

Thank you ❤❤

Everyone: You can't make a silent song. John Cage: Open the doors

I sure wish that my roommate would practice the power of Silence 🔕 they talk non stop and they talk very loudly, they blast their radio, they slam cabinets anything to make noise .

Beautiful 😊

This is the most quiet Ted Talk there is! 😂❤

Sometimes I wish I was imprisoned in solitary confinement for a week. So that I cud be silent, and there was no one to ask me," wats on your mind? Wats troubling you?".

If the talking are of silver, the silence is of gold

The only answer to the questions with ought answers is silence.

Extraordinary presentation. Regards

Who else was looking for 14.33, after 4 minutes and 33 seconds? It's so hard to silent in this world

This was AWESOME. Thanks very much.

inward is working towards you ...outer is public people

That ended up being one of the funniest talks I've seen.

Thé animal kingdom have a good mastery in just sitting just observing just being present. My cats are good at just sitting but I really find powerful animals sitting in silence really majestic. Silverback gorillas spend a lot of time in silence in observation in stillness for such a powerful animal. But equally silence doesn’t mean that a fast action can’t come from a calm moment. Certainly a silverback can become a fast mover from a place of stillness. Thoughts that have invention creativity and problem solving can arrive out of the blue like a flash of lightening out of deep dark stillness. The flash is all the brighter for the silky darkness of the sky. The mind can be limitless expanse of no thought like an expanse of dark sky and without expectation our mind can work so fast to give us an answer or a direction. They say Silence is golden makes it precious but maybe also gives a chance for our halos to shine.

12:44 damn I felt that

7 minutes in and all he’s talked about is orchestra and music

I traveled a lot - learned that hotels and hallways with kids running in them and louder ambient noises not like home were messing with a good nights sleep. I experimented with different ear plugs and found that Flents "Quiet Please" use once or twice and toss works wonders all night long. Had a sump pump in the basement at home directly under the master bedroom. The pump back-check valve thump when it rained annoyed me as it was different. I started using the ear plugs at home. Now decades later, I wont sleep without them - anywhere. I buy these in a bulk container. The Bose noise canceling headphones were perfect for flight (I began to loathe the open cabin sound of airplanes and airports have little noise of need - I set alarms on my phone for flights so I know when to check flight display monitors). I use these for hours daily with my Ipad and listen to Channels of interest - even in the car. Its like finding out that silence or good control of sound is preferential almost always. I also find that there is a slowing down effect - so focus is intentional. I can listen to concentration music specifically on yourtube that permit me full simple and deliberate focus on the issue at hand and I deal with things on time and efficiently. Its literally like finding a vane of pure gold. A few hints... Quiet please by Flents are good for one or two uses - I buy in a large container very cost effectively. Buy a small supply at first form the drug store. Only the Bose has an elastomer oval pod that fits my ear better than the common circle buds. I find circular buds to hurt when wearing over an hour. Keep them clean daily with ZEISS Wipes (used for eye glasses) - buy in bulk. They don't scratch glasses either.

I've noticed that all the people extolling the virtues of silence AREN'T.

Wooooooos, what a great!!!!!!

I bet he didn't want silence after he ended his speech:3

This is the #1 best TEDx I have ever heard.

Those who have no inerest in remaining silent will not remain silent.

So let me give you a low down be a happy camper and pick your brain on the silence once a while but remember don’t burn the candle on both sides Peace ✌️

What about silence for ignoring someone?

It's like waiting for the concert to start but really you are in the middle of a Ted talk. 😂

Interesting in that I found myself reaching out to find and capture sounds rather than looking in to meditate.

In that 4 minutes and 33 seconds I learned just how loud and constant the creaking of my apartment building is. It's actually a lot more annoying than I realised.

IT,S MEDITATION.

i see you turning your volume up to hear the sounds tedx hall sounds

awesome

I want a tattoo of that John Cage score

Funny how he is talking about silence the whole time.
