the way our brain stores these also reflect this. a passage from a text isn't stored word for word. we basically make a little micro-simulation of the words in action. when you read "a person is writing a letter" the same brain regions light up as when you're actually writing

this shit is absolutely bonkers. everything is language and at the same fucking time nothing is language. language is a tool slapped on top of something else that is exponentially more unfathomable

it will be unmistakable when you brush up against that Complexity of All Things, because you wont be able to call it anything. god is literally that which you are unable to understand and never will understand. and it is so humbling. and it is so beautiful. and you are it.
