This is a fun exercise that quickly lightens your state, disrupting your self-created mind-prison.
Look at an object. Maybe touch it or pick it up and feel its texture. Make up a new name for it. Even better – let the name come to mind, based on what you feel and see. Voice the new name.
The new word could be a better match to the object than what you normally call it, because it came from direct sensual experience.
You’ve just broken your automatic language pattern and left familiar territory. You’ll perceive the object differently too, because you “let it” give you its name instead of using the name you were taught.
I was sitting here playing the game and after a few minutes I developed an entire phrase in a language created by me. I touched the leather reclining chair I like to sit in to write. But it was no longer a chair. I experienced its pre-chair state.”Fullum” came to mind. I am sitting in my Fullum. The lamp is on. I called the lamp Triko. I’m sitting in my Fullum with the Triko on. This eventually became
“O roon ani Fullum eta Trikola”.
If you experience moments of joy during this, it’s because you’re operating outside of the Matrix.
