12 Can Talking Differently Change Your Life?

Language is a beautiful thing the human brain has equipped us with.

We understand and describe the experience of life in the form of language.

It is the conduit for transmitting thoughts and ideas from human to human, consciousness to consciousness, producing a worldly vibration of inter-connectivity.

But language's necessity for human social function has possibly limited the human experience of life.

We seem to so often forget that there is a world beyond our current language.

A world of feelings and thoughts that go beyond linguistic comprehension.

Did depression exist before man created a term for it?

Did blue exist before man classified it?

Did anything exist before man identified it?

If at one point in human history there was no word for depression, were humans still depressed without knowing it?

What did this unawareness result in?

And what are we feeling right now without knowing what to call it?

Without being able to identify it.

Or perhaps the opposite, what aren't we feeling because we haven't yet created any words for it?

Our understanding of life and consciousness is facilitated by language, but our EXPERIENCE of life and consciousness does not have to be limited to it.

Life is not solely found in how you think or speak about it, but also in how you feel it.

It is this that we must understand and try to embrace as we navigate through life's unknown.
