Ironically, ‘our’ language… ‘English’ is not our own. And we, too are ‘defined’ by it, in ways that are crippling and insane. Perhaps we would do well to acquire older languages. Languages in which we can see and learn, value and understand… our natures and potentials as human beings, rather than as subjects of colonization.

For though we may be non-indigenous persons, we are also colonized. Ceaslessly. And much of this endless re-colonization is founded upon linguistic deceptions, declarations, evaluations… generalizations. And so on. And so, too, are most of our fears. Our fragmented social environments.

Our language also ’causes us to act out in ways’ that are absurd, insane, and have nothing to do with our nature, intelligence or humanity.

So we, too, must try hard and learn deeply. We must escape the deadly gravity of our reliance upon language in the absence of true ways of being, learning and relation.

How do we do that?

Together. With and for each other, with purposes that are true and clear of deception, guile, and ‘competition for the benefit of individuals’.

We do that by forming human social contexts and imperatives that matter, and then embodying them together. In other words, we establish what our cultures promise while delivering the opposite of.
