- Change is another word for transformation -

- Everything in life is constantly changing -

- Everything in the universe is constantly changing -

- The essence of life and the universe is constant transformation -

- Language is an attempt to explain the consituents of life and the universe
by attaching symbols to images and images to symbols,
creating words and sentences that, once created, remain unchanged -

- Another word for unchanged is static -

- Static is the opposite of transformation -

- The core of language are the words -

- The words are static -

- The nature of words is the opposite of the nature of transformation -

- Words are the opposite of the essence of life and the universe -

- The core of language is the opposite
of the essence of life and the universe -

- Truth is a concept of reality that is coherent with what is
being represented by the word “reality” -

- The word “reality” represents our conception of life and the universe -

- Our conception of life and the universe does not necesseraily
have anything to do with the actual nature of life and the universe -

- Reality is the actual nature of life and the universe -

- An idea is a concept of reality -

- An idea is built on visual and linguistic constructions -

- The basic element in any linguistic construction is the word -

- Words are one of the two basic elements of an idea -

- The nature of words and the essence of life are opposite -

- The aim of language is to explain the constituents
of life and the universe -

- The basic element of language is the word -

- Using language is an attempt to explain the constituents
of life and the universe
with an element whose fundamental nature
is the opposite of that of life -

- Truth needs coherency between idea and reality -

- Every word is static -

- An idea is made of words and images -

- Every idea is partially static -

- The word “reality” represents our conception of life and the universe -

- The conception of life and the universe is partially built on our ideas -

- The conception of life and the universe
is partially built on an element that is static -

- The conception of life is partially static -

- The conception of life is partially opposite
to the essence of life and the universe -

- The nature of the word “reality” is the opposite
of the essence of life and the universe -

- Truth requires coherence between idea and reality -

- Every idea comes from our conception of life and the universe -

- The essence of life and the universe are the opposite of static -

- No idea is coherent with the essence of life and the universe -

- Language is not coherent with the essence of life and the universe -

- The conception of life and the universe,
represented by the word “reality”, is partially static -

- The conception of life and the universe is partially built on ideas -

- The conception of life is partially built on emotions -

- The basic element of an emotion is the sensation -

- The essence of a sensation is movement -

- The essence of movement is transformation -

- The essence of an emotion is coherent
with the essence of life and the universe -

- Our conception of life and the universe
is built partially on ideas and partially on emotion -

- Coherence means a relationship between ideas that is free of conflict -

- Truth requires full coherence -

- Between every idea and the conception of life and the universe,
there is only partial coherence -

- Every idea is partially static, partially in constant transformation -

- No idea is fully coherent with the conception of life and the universe -

- No idea is true -

- The word “truth” comes from an idea of “truth” -

- The idea of “truth” requires the idea of “false” -

- The idea of “false” requires the idea of “truth” -

- No idea is true -

- No idea is false -

- Every idea is empty of logic -

- Every word serves illogical purposes -

- Language is empty of logic -

- Truth can never be attained through words -

- Falsity can never be attained through words -

- The idea of “language” is incoherent with language -

- The essence of life and the universe is constant transformation -

- Nothing in life and the universe is static -

- Words are static -

- Everything that can be perceived exists -

- Words can be perceived -

- Words exist -

- Life and the universe exists -

- Words are not part of life or the universe -

- Life exists -

- Words exist -

- Nothing that exists is empty -

- Nothing in this universe is empty -

- Words are empty -

- Everything that exists exists in the universe -

- Words do not exist in this universe -

- The idea of this universe is not the universe -

- There is something other than “this universe” -

- “This universe” is not infinite -

- An idea is a word attached to an image and an image attached to a word -

- No idea lacks any of these components -

- There is a word called “infinity” -

- There must exist an image of infinity -

- An image is a reflection of something -

- There could be no image of infinity unless something is infinite -

- “This universe” is not infinite -

- Something else is infinite -

- Something does not have to exist in “this universe” in order to exist -

- Images do not necessarily have to come from this universe -

- Words do not necessarily have to come from this universe -

- An idea doesn’t have to be coherent
with anything in this universe
