I don't want to abolish or even transform our use of words. It is seems to me that I am not fixated on words but on the mind.
My reasoning is appears to me not to point at words but of how the spiritual teaching is appears to me to be in contradiction to itself. More so that the discoveries are always made with the mind and therefore follows the pattern of the mind and can never be a concept outside of the mind because it follows a pattern of the mind even when describing the mind, the mind is used to do so, and so we get just another picture of what the mind is as we view it with our mind which follows the same pattern that painted the picture and the pattern is to re-create the picture and the mind with the mind, never leaving the mind out of the picture. This is why it is appears to be infinite, IMO.
Well your mind certainly is one of a kind!
I recently picked up The Origins and History of Consciousness by Erich Neumann, and I came across this insightful thought in the first few pages.."The form of representation peculiar to the unconscious is not that of the conscious mind. It neither attempts nor is able to seize hold of and define its objects in a series of discursive explanations, and reduce them to clarity by logical analysis. The way of the unconscious is different. Symbols gather round the thing to be explained, understood, interpreted. The act of becoming conscious consists in the concentric grouping of symbols around the object, all circumscribing and describing the unknown from many sides. Each symbol lays bare another essential side of the object to be grasped, points to another facet of meaning. Only the canon of these symbols congregating about the center in question, the coherent symbol group, can lead to an understanding of what the symbols point to and of what they are trying to express."
