I love questions, what’s your favourite question ask people?
Discussion
What do you like to do in your #free time?
Bad English sorry. Great question! Free time is a luxury for many. For me it’s being in nature and learning something new. What about you?
for me it’s all about #personalgrowth #reflection & #grounding
BTW,
the repetition of "do" is a subtle trigger that resonates with the frequency of balance, stability, and grounding (represented by the tone of Do)
the 2 “do” subtly influence the mind through their repetition and trigger a frequency that promotes balance, and self-reflection.
it reads hardly by it triggers badly ⚡️
Amen! 🙏
I didn’t know that regarding “do”. Thanks for the interesting take!
Language and linguistics is one of my favourite rabbit holes to go down. Like how our languages influences the perception of time, space and colour, for example, I read recently that English speakers view time horizontally, “looking forward to tomorrow”, “let’s put the past behind us”, whereas Mandarin speakers view time vertically, “up month” means “last month” and “down month” means “next month”. This vertical orientation might stem from traditional Chinese cosmology, where the heavens (associated with the past and ancestors) are above, and the earth (associated with the present and the future generations) is below. Fascinating!

The ancient Greek language offers even more profound insights into the relationship between #language, #perception, and the human #experience.
The Greek concept of " logos" (λόγος), for instance, encompasses not only language but also #reason, #logic, and the underlying structure of the #universe.
This holistic #understanding of language as a reflection of the #cosmos is deeply rooted in ancient Greek philosophy, particularly in the works of #Heraclitus and #Plato.
The Greek language itself is replete with examples of how linguistic structures and idioms shape our #perception of #time, #space, and #reality.
For example, the Greek concept of "chronos" (χρόνος) and "kairos" (καιρός) distinguishes between quantitative, measurable time (chronos) and qualitative, opportune time (kairos).
This dichotomy reflects the ancient Greek understanding of time as both a #linear, sequential concept and a fluid, context-dependent #experience.
Furthermore, the Greek language's use of spatial metaphors to describe #abstract concepts, such as "hypostasis" (ὑπόστασις) for "substance" or "ousia" (οὐσία) for "being," reveals a deep connection between language, perception, and the human experience of #reality.
The ancient Greek notion of "mimesis" (μίμησις), or imitation, also highlights the complex relationship between language, #culture, and #cognition.
Mimesis refers to the way in which language and art imitate the #world, but also shape our #understanding of it. This concept has far-reaching implications for our understanding of the interplay between language, perception, and reality.
As we delve deeper into the 🕳️🐇 rabbit hole of linguistics, we find that the ancient Greek language offers a profound nexus of insights into the human experience, revealing the intricate connections between #language, #culture, #perception, and the #cosmos.
As above, so below… ♾️
