No one ever experiences the concept orange. But you do experience the sensations of reading " orange " in a particular moment. if you go into words as something from the standpoint of thought... *then* words are distinct from all else... but as sensory experience... they are just phenomena like everything else... hearing a line of poetry read vs. hearing the same line of poetry as if " hummed " for example... both are just sensation. I read your words: > and then its taste color fragrance texture, > stickiness, roundness etc... and those words go " through " as sensation, as vibration, as energy patterns. if you hum something to me then I might hum something back. If you say something to me I might say something back. If the response (in words) JUST FLOWS OUT OF ME (and this is key) then it all is experienced as just energy going round. it is when experience is as a mential operation that words come to seem very different from other phenomena. in a *particular moment* whatever is experienced is as vibrations arising within Silence. The origin of those vibrations does not change that the experience in the moment is as vibration within Silence. so what I am fundamentally saying is that *if* experience is as vibrations arising in Silence then " words read " or " words heard " or any other *particular experience of words* is as vibrations arising and is just phenomena arising in Silence. that is the whole point of the realization that all is just phenomena arising in Silence, as " clouds in the coffee " as it were. and see how what I am saying above can only be understood if experience is immediate, direct, in the Now... and not a mediated by " mind " ?
