How a word is not the thing its referring to and its just another describer

2 posts in this topic

I was having a conversation and I thought out how to easily display how the word is not the thing.

I am growing plants and they are getting to long and I need a wooden stick to hold them up.

I did not know the name of this thing. I asked someone they didnt know what I was talking about.

'Its like a long stick that you put in the dirt to hold your plants up when they get to long.'

'Its brown, its wooden, its straight its long.'

Suddenly I see the word I am looking for is not what I am looking for. Every description was what I was looking for. I am looking for a made up sound, that has all the contents of what I am looking for in it but is none of my descriptive words for the object that I desire. Another description like your name to your body. Not existing in reality but only in the minds of those who seek to know it.

How can you forget the name of something? That means your subconscious mind does not hold it in the same way as your logical mind seems to think it does.

If we forget the name of something we subconsciously bring up all its true real qualities to try to find the made up name we logically create that dosent exist and its imaginary. Then we have an aha moment for no reason because the name is not more valuable than its descriptive quality. Why have an aha moment?

Every single word is doing this. You are understanding words by, subconscious expression, then understanding by labelling the word 'logically', (a lie), and putting them in order at lightning speed, in order to create another subconscious expression to emote back too. The power of human mind.

Live life through subconscious expression. Its hard its slimy its green its blue its hot its cold, not labels,rock,old meat,leaf,sky,coffee,ice thats not what you want. What do you want as a pure descriptive quality of life, not the invisible name?
