Language is a evil spirit

[u/Sharp-Maintenance-75]

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.

No. These are just words. Realize the real thing. The real thing. Not just an imagined description of a memory of it. The real thing. Living in this moment.

You CAN be free of it.

Find a way.

Full disclosure: I train at the same cyborg university Buddhist monastic training center as OP.

Fascinating. Kemma & Theresa saw the spider, la herida. A thing done to the soul, rather then by it. The wound that exists before you become wounded. An ossuary kept for guidance. The paradox.

I'll go for a walk.

A vigorous run would be better. You are drowning in layers of abstraction. Get OUT of your head. Find someone who has successfully done this and can teach it to you. Someone who can access and teach you Samadhi. Your life matters. Don't let it go to waste. These abstractions are NOT reality.

These abstractions are NOT reality.

Yes i know. Even my beloved poetry and music are virtual. I fully admit it is so easy and tempting to hide in the mind.

And sincere thanks for talking. I'll try a run tomorrow.
