Waking up in the “same” reality has become a habit for you. At least this usual world seems constant and plausible. But what gives this world a sense of familiarity, and how do we assign meaning to various things, objects, and events? Language is a sine qua non attribute and valuable tool without which reality would seem like a collection of random senseless phenomena.

Without language, we cannot describe and construct plausible reality. All there is just a Raw Reality, which is predicated upon Awareness and is manifested in the form of perception, a.k.a. the five senses. These five senses travel through your perception, call it a “stencil”. When these perceptions are collected and converged onto the focal point, we have an emergence, call it a human being. The mind interprets raw experience and creates identity. How? By the means of language. What is language? It is a sound. We assign meaning to any shape by the means of the sound. When we give any linguistic load to the object, we mean the perceptive experience, but not the object. It is just a label, right? Because objects do not exist separately from the perception, which includes the five senses. So, we decode the material reality by the means of the five senses and convert them into plausible reality. Again, you are not a human being! Here is how you emerge:

1.       Awareness

2.       Perception decoded into the five senses:

3.       Vibration creates sound (which is hearing), sound is encoded into language.

4.       Then by grouping the various noises, you create words.

5.       Language is a tool by which you assign the meaning to the objects=semantic load.

 Remove language and you will not be able to describe reality. Duality will collapse. All you’d have would be the raw reality which is Oneness: awareness and five senses allow this raw reality to be.

You are the “stencil” The stencil is just a collection of your beliefs, manifesting in the form of the human language, behavior, conscious and unconscious reactions. Your ego is a stencil. Your ego is highly influenced by the external reality; therefore, it does not have free will and acts according to reactions and impulses.

That is how “you” construct your identity.  And this identity does not belong to anyone. There isn’t such thing as “you” in the first place. It is just a pure thought that arises with the feeling of I Amness. We can use this formula: perception->feeling->thought. Feelings define thoughts but not vice versa. Would “you” even arise without language? How would you define reality and subjective perception? Would there be any separation?

Language is a bridge that connects this illusory persona with the external reality. Language allows the story of you to unfold and progress into the further exploration. We cannot depreciate language and its importance; however, we must be wary to not get into the trap of it.
