[^1] Language is a limited and linear structure. It’s a very useful tool we use to communicate with one another, and short of communicating telepathically, it’s the best we’ve got. The problem is, the way we experience ourselves as organisms is non-linear; rather it’s a fluid, dialectical and ever changing process. Because of that, words can never quite match the exact experience we’re having inside, but they can come close. --- **➡️ Next:** [[When we name what's true in our interiority, we experience a felt shift]] **⬅️ Back:** [[The way we experience ourselves is through the Felt Sense]] --- **️🈁 See Also:** - [[Language can never capture the richness that takes place in our interiority]] [^1]: [[Waking the Tiger by Peter Levine|Waking the Tiger by Peter Levine]], p. 67.
