			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Each language differs in structure, symbolism, interpretation, intention, sound, etc. It distinguishes one culture from another, and consequently influences the way we have been taught to process information.</p>
<p class="edit">As a simultaneously taught bilingual child, you can use different brain pathways to understand things. When studying foreign languages, so you can think in two more languages. Thus, the way your brain translates, processes, understands, and uses pathways is different.</p>
<p>At first, you use only your memory, you identify figures/numbers, and assign them a clue name. So, whenever that symbol wants to come into life, as magic, you just say the “abracadabra”, and it opens inside your mind. The power language has inside your head is immense, but our comprehension of the consequences of such power is limited scientifically. </p>
<p class="greentag">How can you understand the system and its processing once it is running?</p>
<p>We live limited, and the only way to see your own limits is by challenging your brain, but&#8230; there is a downside or entropy:</p>
<p class="find">Our brains use “language” to understand itself. How can you challenge your brain when you use words to think? </p>
<p>The brain developed the ability to use language, as a chimp, we can understand some abstractions, but we are unaware of our own limits because: How can you see a limit if you cannot see where you are standing?</p>
<p class="talk">For example, how can a chimp know it cannot speak, when he is not aware of speech?</p>
<p>We are somehow like that, but in a more “advanced” sense. We are trapped in a world of language where it becomes the one that liberates us, helps us understand things beyond “animals” can, but at the same time stops us from seeing our limits.</p>
<blockquote><p>When you learn a language and can think without translating, there is a transformation: Imagine a brain with different functional operating systems; where you can choose to use a Linux from from a proprietary operating system software. </p></blockquote>
<p><strong>When are you running a Linux?</strong> You can get support from any other person who is part of your community: You are open, honest, trying to keep a healthy relationship, so it continues, and always in a conviction that there is good will around you. </p>
<p><strong>When are you not? </strong>When you are afraid, need to use chains, there are a lot of bugs, and you cannot solve those problems because they are outside the box they sold you.</p>
<p>We live brainwashed when we do not question enough. If we could hack our own operating system by using different languages, thought processes, and creative community support&#8230; We could free ourselves from the chains created by greed, pain, and any kind of unhealthy behavior.</p>
<p>The problem comes into being when we don’t ever realize what is an unhealthy behavior, we don’t listen to our thoughts, and we become comfortable running a proprietary software. We need to stop this, not because of “the need of a better world”, but because living passionately, doing what you love, and being really happy is something we all should have a right to live, not because of “the government” will take care of our rights, but because each one of us understand how our brain works, therefore how our thoughts interact with us, and how can we live peacefully inside-out.</p>
<p class="stickynote">Its like we are provoking pain without being aware of it, there is a need to realize what is inside of us, but our own language limits us, the way we communicate with ourselves is through thoughts, is there another way to reach my mind?</p>
<p>How can I gain control over my brain? Unchaining language.</p>
<p>This picture is an example of how language has its chains, but also the key to our own freedom:</p>

<p>Language is not all we&#8217;ve got to understand ourselves. Is it? Could it be just one of the known pathways? Are there more? </p>
<p class="tips">How can we reach new pathways if we use language &amp; concepts inside our brains to communicate to ourselves?</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Concepts are rarely questioned because we even believe others have the same definition because "they are in the dictionary". However, these dictionaries lack insight because they are used to create a common ground. They do not express the real "use" of the word or words because language is a constantly changing mix.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A concept is an idea (a conjunction of words) used and created through a mix-up of things:</p>
<ul class="checklist">
<li>assumptions assured by confirmed predictions</li>
<li>belief systems sustained by thoughts</li>
<li>projections maintained by memories through experiences</li>
</ul>
<p>Concepts are rarely questioned because we even believe others have the same definition because &#8220;they are in the dictionary&#8221;. However, these dictionaries lack insight because they are used to create a common ground. They do not express the real &#8220;use&#8221; of the word or words because language is a constantly changing mix.</p>
<p class="tips">This is important to establish because the main reason of conflict in between humans beings are: &#8220;Misunderstandings&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>The number one cause of dissolution in unions is: Lack of communication.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>For example:</strong><br />
My concept about love is not the same one you had, so I file for a divorce because you lacked the ability to love me as I wished, and we did not learn to how communicate properly to each other what does love mean. We can talk for hours, but a deep communication is lacking because of the misconceptions of the main words being used.</p>
<p class="write">How many words have you asked yourself what do they mean to you? Have you asked to those who you constantly relate to&#8230; What does it mean to them a friendship, love, honesty, companionship, loyalty, etc.?</p>
<p>What you see is not what actually is; it is the image you have created of it the one being understood. However, it kind of works this way&#8230; We can communicate, but we also live so much division when we don&#8217;t know how to explain what we wish to express.</p>
<div class="captionleft"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/33432224@N00/2285253737"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2166/2285253737_c23f7d26f2.jpg" alt="Encadré (Jardim Botânico, Rio de Janeiro)" hspace="5" border="0" /></a>
<p>Frederic della Faille</p>
</div>
<p>We may see and live the same truth, but each one of us uses a lens on a different focus that is seems we are seeing different things. So much anger, aggression, and separation created by these wrongly understood concepts, and by the interpretation of these when applied into a certain environment.</p>
<p>How can you commit to a relationship when you cannot even listen to the other&#8217;s expectations when using the word &#8220;love&#8221;?</p>
<p><strong>It is a spiral that goes somehow like this:</strong></p>
<ul class="arrows">
<li> Lack of communication eventually results in broken expectations.</li>
<li> Broken expectations leave you lost in translation, then communication becomes even worse.</li>
<li> It all ends up in sadness, and at the end; if not careful it turns out into anger and hate</li>
</ul>
<p class="stickynote"> Communication means: I listen to you fully. I close my thoughts for a moment. I open my heart to you. I care what you have to say, although I don&#8217;t agree with you. I may even grow and have better ideas with those remarks I don&#8217;t agree on.</p>
<p>It does not matter if he does not listen to you. It is YOU the one who should listen. Is is YOU the one who should become aware of the situation. It is YOU who can change the world, not others.</p>
<p class="babyheart"> Remember, I may be wrong. Think things out. Ask yourself more questions. There is no one out there to say something enlightening. It is you the one who has all the questions; therefore all the answers.</p>
<p>If others see you want to listen, they may try to&#8230; but even if they don&#8217;t&#8230; move on.  Learn from each experience and open those eyes to new understandings by simply listening.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our thoughts become an intrinsic form of self knowledge in a place where to communicate your needs, you need to use words to express yourself and be understood.</p>
<p class="babysearch">Are thoughts a trustworthy source of self knowledge? Why?</p>
<blockquote><p>Thought 1: I don&#8217;t like you.<br />
The same person, within the same hour.<br />
Thought 2: I love you.</p>
<p>Thought 1: I am sure.<br />
The same person encounters an event that changes his old paradigms.<br />
Thought 2: I don’t believe on that anymore.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Is a volatile thought generator a valid source to get to know me? </strong><br />
Certainly, in a physical external environment where you are certain those thoughts will produce some action because&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>For example:</strong><br />
Certain thought 1: I don’t like cats. They produce me allergies.<br />
Will this person change his mind? Unless, the allergies are vanished. He will live all his life disliking cats.</p>
<p class="find">But… Is a volatile thought generator a valid source of self/inner (not subjective) knowledge?</p>
<p>Could be… Could not be… How can we know?</p>
<p>Mind exploration with out many possible capacities:</p>
<ul class="arrow">
<li> Thought</li>
<li> Creativity</li>
<li> Emotion</li>
<li> Hormones</li>
<li> Brain</li>
<li> Others</li>
</ul>
<p>Why have we evolved in such a way we can use thought is the means of transforming abstraction into thought, and then ordered words?</p>
<div id="attachment_153" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://linaru.projectlove.me/files/coast.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-153" src="http://linaru.projectlove.me/files/coast-300x225.jpg" alt="calm or furious" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Thoughts are like the ocean:  How will they be?</p></div>
<p>There should be a reason, so… To know our mind we can use as a first step thoughts. A volatile form of communicating with ourselves and others.</p>
<p class="tips">This is important to know because if we understand this, then we can change our minds freely. There is no need to fixate with ideas because ideas are thoughts, and those are volatile.</p>
<p>Thoughts change and the results of those produce different actions. Things also change, how will we adapt to those changes if our thoughts may not be ready for those changes? How fast does our surroundings (nature &amp; people) change? Do does our mind move as fast? We all can be wrong at the long run, but may be right in the short term.</p>
<p class="star"><strong>Does the truth change? What is the truth? </strong></p>
<p>When will be admit&#8230; we all can make mistakes to learn from them?</p>
