Language is just a tool. If used right, it can even break barriers. At least that's why it originally has developed.

Language creates barriers more than it breaks them down.

what about the part of you that isn't a struggling survivor?
does there even exist such a thing? how would you know if you have not experience it? 
is there a way we can condition this part of us into our reality?

I believe I have experienced such a thing... Just that I pursued IT with complete disregard for everything else. How do you bring IT with you?? How do you even map it out and pin it down??
I think the reality of the structure of the ego and ego death are a good place to start the conditioning.

it's tough... i guess practice, focus and effortless effort is what bring rise to more of IT.
can't really say i can map it out and pin it down, it comes unexpectedly and spontaneously. and the more it comes the more i become familiar with it and the more it grows within me.
I think the reality of the structure of the ego and ego death are a good place to start the conditioning.
as well, i don't know where i would be without ego death. it has separated me from the majority of society's mindset which is hard at times but it is very liberating. but this should be expected just need to find the right place in all of this chaos.

I don't think so. What would we be without (spoken/written) language and the ability to use and form it ? We would 'hardly' understand each other.

there would be less identification with our program, which is a side product of today's language and the way we are conditioned by it.

yes at an egotistical level. but from an empathetic, affectionate level i highly doubt that.

At least, the possibility to lie would be much harder  But all message boards had to be closed :sigh:
