How do your dental visits go?
Besides the cleaning, mine usually end with us kicking knowledge about psychedelics, culture, politics, how the worlds gone mad, where things are going, and why none of it matters anyway.
They got this new water jet too and it feels like a car wash for your mouth, if a car could feel pleasure.
Anyways, we’re sitting there kicking culture (her parents are immigrants like mine).
We get to talking about how language is a strange thing, and our understanding of it is so limited.
If you speak more than one tongue, you know this. There are some phrases that just can’t be translated, they lose their meaning upon crossing over instantly.
Culture provides context.
Which got me thinking, by living in a different country and submerging in that culture–by understanding, you now literally have a new sight– you can now SEE and UNDERSTAND something that was never there.
You unblinded yourself, to a degree.
This isn’t just true for foreign languages.
Anytime we’re able to put words to patterns and ideas, we start to see them more often (and understand what we’re seeing).
When I learned about different personality archetypes, I started to see that with every single individual I interacted with– where before, I didn’t see anything but boredom.. from their lack of conversation skills.
There’s no difference between language and thought.
Language is thought.
In fact, if we removed the word depression– you’d still feel off it you had it, but you couldn’t have it. Not really.
You can’t experience what you can’t understand.
Words provide understanding.
If you wanted to evolve yourself in any capacity, word-smithing around might help but journaling will for sure.
So when people want to filter language, they’re either naive or beyond EVIL and stupid because filtering language is filtering thought.
AND NOTHING GOOD comes from limiting the mind.
So, I’ll end with this.
PROTECT YOUR MIND AT ALL COSTS.
And if you’re one of those thought police, delete yourself idiot.
