Language & the Illusion of Self JonnyJon BonBon

What started off as a ragged attempt at stitching together my limited knowledge of Spanish, German, and Japanese led to a longer-winded monologue into the nature of consciousness.

This also happens to be the basis of the “Self“, an abstract cognitive phenomenon of separating the identity of the conscious thinking mind from its surroundings. I question and explore the validity of the actual existence of a “Self”.
