    Hey, I read your post about New Consciousness. I don't why people have to be so rude all the time round here. Anyway, where did this idea come from? Is it your own? It reminds me a bit of Osho for some things. Anyway, I have replied.

    Ha ha, you don't have to always say "peace" to me, my friend! You've already earned my trust and you are indeed an invaluable comrade of mine!

    Indeed, excellent point. It works both ways. Language and thought are both aspects of the same limited, divisive human intellect, one externalised the other internalised, respectively. Whether or not the former influences the latter is an interesting question. Afterall, conditioning is vocalised to some extent. However, I feel that even without languages, the problem would still remain. The problem of the self, identified with past and future and pleasure and pain, is a permanent one, regardless of language. This must be overcome. Then, as I said, language and thought won't be problematic. We can use them but we won't be used by them. Peace friend.

    But our thoughts are some how limited by languages, don't you think? After all, it is languages that humans give labels to everything around them and justify their thoughts based on those labels.

    Humans must live with the problem of division and hostility, for afterall, the intellect is limited and thus all thoughts will be divided and hostility. If you wanted to go down that path you'd have to eliminate thought, which would make us braindead. Language afterall serves many practical purposes.

    What we must learn to do is to understand this limitation, the fragmentary nature of thought and the problems and suffering it creates in definitions of the self and in relations with others.

    Once we understand its limitations we can still use it, and its verbal equivalent (language). The difference is, we use it, and it doesn't use us.

    Peace & Love.

    I have one question, if we need to destroy the means of "self", would it be better if we just eliminate the system of languages?

    May I ask just two small questions: how old are you and what is your profession?
