Words attach themselves to mythological constructs in your brain. Mythology clouds. Clusters of brain activity that create meaning.
When I am in a deep, meditative state, I can actually watch a person formulate a word, a question, and see the web of clouds of interconnected thoughts, concepts, myths attaching to the word all of the emotional, mythological meaning- content that comes with that word or question. All of the moralizing, the good and evil of the content of that word actually attach to the word itself. That is how you know what a word means.
I was at dinner with my cousin discussing this, and she noticed that when she says the name of her friends, let’s say several of them are called Bob, each friend feels different. Therefore the same name B-O-B, doesn’t feel like the same name. The same arrangement of letters has an entirely different feeling in her body, and therefore is a completely “different” name to her.
You do this with everything.
EXERCISE: For example, what does the word RED mean? If you closely watch the feeling of the word RED come together in your psyche, you can see that the word without feeling means nothing. To interpret reality, it’s important to attach some chemistry of meaning to the idea. Words with no meanings are irrelveant.
So, basically, any word that you think is not in and of itself a word unto itself, but is rather a trigger for a profound mythological construction, which in intself is a profound emotional / chemical trigger. In other words, there are no words without stories. There are no words without myths. To have a word without myth is almost an impossibility because each word in and of itself refers to the field of experience. Each word or concept represents something that has happened or is going to happen that takes you to a place where the very act of formulating the idea pulls forth, brings forth an “energy” – that takes you on a chemical journey inside your brain and body – a chemical cocktail that creates the sensation of feeling, connection, emotion, and meaning.
So, the very act of formulating and referencing the feeling about a word to speak is in itself a mythology. That mythology cloud creates chaos, drama, pain and suffering for anybody who is trying to do something as simple as see or feel directly because to see or feel directly is almost an impossibility when the words themselves become the filters and the forms that divide the world into good and evil and right and wrong, and every thing that happens becomes an assessment of what is right or what is good and what is bad and what is wrong based on the very words that you’re using.
So, the word itself is a kind of moralizing. The act itself is moralizing and changes the very way you look at life. So, the words and how you formulate them become the very things that get in the way of your clear perception. That is how it happens.
So, “the word” whatever that is, formulates and calls forth a kind of psychological construct that pulls you into a mythological adventure simply by the act of using the word. This is a process that we have to train ourselves against quite frankly. How to see clearly without mythology. How to speak clearly — mythologically-free.
