You and most other seem to believe that language, thinking  ...i.e. 
"words about ...etc."  expresses some profound insight, but Christ, this 
IS SOM:  An ineffable reality which comes to us distorted and 
secondhand by senses, by language, by thinking and all kinds of 
"filters". IT'S THE SUBJECT/OBJECT MONSTER ITSELF! I have to 
pinch my arm, is this a competition how the MOQ can be distorted?
