Language, Culture & Reality

Human language is believed to be less than 40,000 years old. There are fire pits and stone tools made by humans over 2,000,000 years old. This means human language is as artificial as a car. Human language as symbolic representation is a human invention. If you look at it a certain way language is a type of telepathy. I have a thought in my mind and I make small mouth noises, which vibrate the immediate atmosphere. These vibrations are picked up by the apparatus in your ear and are interpreted by your brain. Then you have my thought in your mind. Telepathy.

Interdependence, or Why We Are All One

Consider that it has been demonstrated that almost all quantum interactions produce entanglement. The particles of light (photons) from long dead stars that reach Earth millions of years after emanating from the original source are entangled with every atom they meet on their way to Earth. Now consider that we as living beings are emanating a steady stream of photos out into the universe for the duration of our existence. Those photons are inextricably entangled with us and also with everything they come in contact with as they journey out into the universe. It seems a likely conclusion that we are therefore interconnected with the objects the photons that emanate from us become entangled with. And those objects are entangled with still many more objects. It dawns that everything is, if not absolutely, potentially interconnected.
