The Sphere Model of Consciousness (SMC) describes subjective experiences using geometric coordinates, with a central 'Place of Pre-Existence' (PPE) representing an experience of overcoming habitual self and memory conditioning, causally linked to self-determination. Silence may act as an intentional inner environment that focuses self-perception on the present moment, improving body awareness. In a preliminary study, 481 volunteer PPE technique practitioners completed questionnaires before and after a 3-day meditative training. Results showed a shift from mental to spatial dimensions dominating experience after training. Silence was reported more often after training and was mainly associated with mental and emotional experiences.
