Language is a Lie
awareness belief evolve your consciousness fundamental shift identity shifting judgement meaning making mindfulness personal development perspectives rob scott self self mastery May 02, 2006This is about the box of language. The main point is that since we are all one, when we create the separate reality (the one to talk about), we are "lying" to ourselves.
Language creates a box of agreement. But we are still separated by perspective. A smaller point but something we tend to miss. Perspective is what language is trying to relate, but we trust memories as if there was little or no perspective. Again, this is a different point than the main theme, but still important.
Language will always be incomplete. You can't capture things with language, you can only point. The structure of thinking ends up being a detriment because we tend to remember our judgements about things. The language of the situation. We tend to get stuck in the labeling mind rather than the listening mind. The party was "bad". But not to someone who enjoyed the party.
Language is a descriptor. It is an abstraction of truth. It adds a layer onto truth. So, what's the point? Why discuss the box of language? Well, as we're trying to open our minds, we need to learn that we can think differently.
