These questions about language and consciousness--becoming aware of our assumptions about them--have been a source of deep inquiry for the past 20 years or so. There are assumptions built into language at many different levels, from the sounds and scripts through the metaphors and logic to the assumptions of the culture that are built into its language. Because of all those layers of interdependencies, language is quite resilient--it basically allows for only neologisms. However, I think we need to question more of the underlying assumptions and devise not just new words but also new structures, ones that embrace our expanding consciousness. Thank you, Vyaas, for bringing out these issues. They are important for future humanity!
