“Everything is determined…by forces over which we have no control. It is determined for the insect as well as for the star. Human beings, vegetables, or cosmic dust—we all dance to a mysterious tune, intoned in the distance by an invisible piper.”~ Albert Einstein
Our languages tend to be highly noun-oriented with a separate self or ego being at the center of life. By contrast, quantum theory demands an intuitive flow-oriented approach, a verb-based language that emphasizes flow, movement and constant transformation.
Western science had reached the end of linear thought and finally understands the universe is a living, conscious, interconnected organism.Most significantly, the essence of our being as a separate self is now in doubt…it would be more accurate to describe our self as interacting in a flowing universe.
This isn’t easy or simple. Our disconnect from one another, from ourselves and from the natural world is embedded in the Western languages, which break the world into millions of discrete, manipulable pieces, called nouns. Westerners control reality through language, but they don’t evoke it. Indigenous languages in contrast are verb-based, intuitively linking speaker and object in a “flow” of motion that cannot be linguistically sliced and diced.
Quantum and Relativity theories agree in describing the world as an undivided whole in constant flow in which all parts of the universe are constantly interacting.. The universe is characterized by an intuitive flow that integrates everything: separate forms are the equivalent of a still photograph of an object in motion. It turns out that we perceive the flow of reality through those static images.. As example, what goes on in our mind is really a flow of consciousness, rather than coming from a separate thinker. Thought is simply a flow process , and concepts are invented objects.
I am suggesting noun oriented culture tends to see separate things while verb oriented cultures tends to see process and interrelationships.
“Our (Indo-European) languages tend to be highly noun-oriented with the self or ego being at the center of life.”
This statement seems problematic.
Is it really true that nouns trump verbs or adjectives etc in Indo-Euro’ language? And I don’t see how language alone could direct the center of life towards ego – isn’t that more of a cultural – historical matter?
You are using Indo-Euro to describe “flow” – so can this large group of languages be flexible enough to be used to describe things in various ways (correct or otherwise)?
Pam…there is nothing unique about my posts…I am only one in a large social movement describing the same theme perhaps using different words …thinking is a social process rather than an individual one…Sid
