Are Language and Numbers a Barrier to Self-Realization

[Carlo Ertola]

Greetings Seekers,

I am very grateful to have been led to this space for self-expression and collective discourse, and my understanding is that the abstractions we use to qualify and quantify our realities (what in other words I called language and numbers) are standing in the way of our ultimate realization of who we are and what the world we live in really is. What is your take on this topic? And, do you think it is possible to approach reality without the use of words or equations?

OMG, yes, maxdp is right. Look for ZD's name, then click on that. That will take you to his profile. Then find the posts of ZD, they will be listed, just browse through them. He is very good writing on living without words or numbers. Or start a thread on the subject, he will love it. Words are like a finger pointing to the moon, if you get stuck with words, you'll never see the moon...
