In The Beginning Was The Word

Why do we believe this?
What do we know?

Our brains are the product of the language they consume, and therefore we become a product of inherited words. Through neuroplasticity, the words we hear and use rewire our neural pathways, and therefore the way we think.

Humanity is manipulated by words through a process called neurolinguistic programming, which exploits the way our brains process language to change our perceptions, emotions, and behaviours, without us noticing. Humans aren’t just users of words; we are deeply shaped, regulated, and defined by them.

Being products of words suggests that language, conversation, and the narratives we construct, both internally and externally, influence our realities, brains, and identities. Neuroscience supports this, indicating that words are not merely labels for things, but are forces that shape our perceptions, emotions, and even physical bodies.

When we accept words without authentication, they are merely programming.
It’s pure consciousness which knows, before any words are expressed.
We are the empty cognisant space between the words.
Is it that by which everything can be known.

Our reality is not in the words, but in the direct silent experience.
