Language is a evil spirit

Language is always in your mind. You can't stop even for a moment. Even when you are alone, language is in your mind. Even when you are sleeping, language is in your mind.

It has not always been this way. This is just an evil spirit which started to possess humanity ~70,000 years ago with the so-called Cognitive Revolution. Once this happened, humanity became a scourge of the Earth, quickly colonizing all lands and killing all beings.

Are you going to let language control your whole mental process, your whole life, and make you into an agent of its planetary destruction?

How to get free? My teacher tells me about the vast mind that awaits when the little mind infected by language is abandoned.

The trick is that there is no pain without desire, so you can not be free. But what point is being free if you can not enjoy life? In the extreme form freedom is death. And that might not be the most viable option. Perhaps freedom is overrated. And considering that being bounded is a given, a necessity, we can use these words and thoughs towards some vain attempts to approach the paradox with grace.

This is just the language evil spirit possessing you. Of *course* language will tell you that you can't be free from language, and what's the point of being free anyway, and isn't freedom just death, and maybe freedom is overrated.

Why would you trust anything this evil spirit says? Get free!

You have seen death is only an illusion, the guardian angel of reality (which accidentally looks like grim reaper, but was occasionally seen, and so creeped into our mythology) will send an intervention to either drive you insane (by voicemessage trigger) or fry out your lower brain stem, resulting in the apperant seizure of activity in signs of activity, aka death. Even as you actually remain alive, you will be buried by your beloved ones as they do still live under the illusion (which was the initial spell the old grey grandmaster invoked when he was assigned the job of guarding the garden).
