The Unspeakable World - Adi Goldstein/Alan Watts
Composed by：Adi Goldstein
But you know
If you talk all the time
You will never hear what anybody else has to say
And therefore all you'll have to talk about is your own conversation
The same is true for people who think all the time
That means when I use the word 'think'
Talking to yourself subvocal conversation
The constant chit-chat of symbols and images and
Talk and words inside your skull
Now if you do that all the time
You'll find that you've nothing to think about except thinking
And just as you have to stop talking to hear
What I have to say you have to stop thinking
To find out what life is about
And the moment you stop thinking
You come into immediate contact with what Korzybski called
So delightfully 'the unspeakable world
The most ordinary sights and sounds and smells
The texture of shadows on the floor in front of you
All these things without being named and saying 'that's a shadow
That's red that's brown that's somebody's foot'
When you don't name things anymore you start seeing them
Because say when a person says 'I see a leaf' immediately
One thinks of a spearhead-shaped thing outlined
In black and filled in with flat green
No leaf looks like that
No leaves leaves are not green
That's why
Lao-Tzu said 'the five colors make a man blind
The five tones make a man deaf'
Because if you can only see five colors
You're blind and if you can only hear
Five tones in music you're deaf
You see if you if you force sound into five tones
You force color into five colors
You're blind and deaf the world of color
Is infinite as is the world of sound
And it is only by stopping fixing conceptions
On the world of color and sound
That you really begin to hear it and see it
So
Let me say again I am not talking about the ordering
Of ordinary everyday life in a reasonable and methodical way
As being schoolteacherish
And saying and nice 'if you were
NICE people that's what you would do'
For heaven's sake
Don't be nice people
But the thing is
That unless you do have that basic
Framework of a certain kind of order
And a certain kind of discipline
The force of liberation will blow the world to pieces
It's too strong a current for the wire
