Okay...let's start at the beginning...
FOR MOST OF HUMAN HISTORY WE HAVE NOT HAD LANGUAGE.
Words are a relatively new occurrence. Speech, as an art form, has only recently come into fruition.
Our brains have compartmentalized an entire region to it, so self evidently, it has always been built into humans to be a species that communicates through words.
But let's not let the theory of speech take away from its actual reality...
WORDS ARE JUST A SERIES OF SOUNDS WE ATTACH MEANINGS TO.
Words are, LITERALLY, theoretical and imaginary.
And yet, our minds empower them to cause pleasure and pain.
"Sticks and Stones..." Right? And yet, we fight WARS over words... People die and go to jail EVERYDAY because of the imaginary relationship we have with words.
Infact, adding to the illusionary existence of words, THE ONLY WAY TO DESCRIBE THE PAST AND THE FUTURE (...both ALSO being illusionary concepts...) IS WITH WORDS.
The present can NEVER be captured with words due to the FACT that the time it takes to associate words with the experience, however minuscule the time scale is, will always set it in a time frame AFTER the actual experience.
YOU CAN ONLY EVER EXPERIENCE THE PRESENT MOMENT.
YOU CAN NEVER CAPTURE AND EXPERIENCE THE MOMENT SIMULTANEOUSLY. THIS IS CALLED THE OBSERVER BIAS.
Back to words... Words will ALWAYS fall short.
So...why is it that MY WORDS IN PARTICULAR RESONATE WITH ALL OF YOU?
It's not about WHAT I am saying. It's about the energy that I am intentionally attaching to these theoretical concepts.
They appear to align with me ONLY due to the expertise with which I articulate reality using these words.
....reflect on this...consider...why are words...sounds created by escaping air... holding so much influence over your life? And if that is the case... Are they influencing you appropriately and according to your will and intention?
