The Beauty Of Language

[ExploringReality]

Speaking is an incredibly profound and weird thing. This ability to create mental replications in the mind, internalize meaning and symbols, move our mouths and understand each other is miraculous. How is this possible? I'm not asking for an answer which would use language, I'm asking as in when one looks up at the sky and wonders about the stars through time.

Reality is incredibly rich and deep. Human language is fascinating in that we can use it as an intellectual flashlight and describe phenomenons. It has its limits, but it's totally worth pushing those limits and examining the edges of reality and our entire frame of cognition. Is language the fruit of the tree of knowledge metaphorically?

Also there seems to be a war of words and narrative when it comes to relationships, politics ect... Language shapes reality like a container shapes the water it holds. We take for granted that language is just concept and treat it as a finger pointing to the moon, but I feel that language is something so profound, at least I'm open to seeing language from a higher elevation. Language is the colors that highlight reality. There are a lot of stupid people that hijack language and twist and flip reality, this could be known in the form of gas lighting or narcissism, but also think of people that are really good with language, Terrence mckenna, Leo guru, Alan Watts, etc.

Somebody once said that language was invented so that people could lie, how true is that? 

Language is like a chameleon, it's not what it appears to be, or it is exactly what it appears to be. This requires epistemic humility and mastery. Because growing up we had to accept would serve our survival, and our minds get filled with all sorts of language viruses. Part of having sovereignty of mind is to be able to think for yourself, turn skepticism inward, self-reflect, contemplate, and being very open-minded.

Think of a good salesperson and a bad salesperson and the results they get. Think of lawyers and defense attorneys, think of the make or break of a relationship. Think of getting a job promotion, etc all of these are choices and results that are influenced by language, and if you can learn to say it right it makes all the difference.

It's possible to understand all of reality with language, but not the limited version of language that you probably are thinking of right now, a trans linguistic language a meta language, a construct aware language.
