How we communicate can determine how we think.
Alan Watts shares that, grammatically, we have a noun perform a verb or interact with an action; we must have a “knower,” who is “knowing,” or a person (noun) having emotions (verb-y feelings).
More accurately, as Buddhists or Deleuze might say, “you” is a process: the noun is a verb happening.
You don’t have feelings, but feelings are happening. They show up unbidden and uncontrolled amid an entity called “you.” At best, the “knower” is partially aware, but is acted upon and is an action becoming, tenuously holding onto the continuity of noun-ness.
