Personally speaking, sure, in a way it has affected me, how can it not. I've figured out in a very big way that talking to other people is what quite literally helps keep me sane. Because I think in a very distinct, different kind of way when I talk to others. And not only that, but by talking with others you're kinda forced to bring your thoughts, ideas and inclinations into reality, parsing and fabricating them in such a way that they, to some extent, ADHERE to reality. And if you don't do that, then those thoughts tend to just bounce about and within your head, not really going anywhere, until they bounce about so fast and sporadically they end up hitting something and breaking a vase or two. And that shit ain't fun to clean up, believe me, lol.

That's why the first thing there was, of god or otherwise, was 'The Word'. When you speak, you issue your own line of code/programming unto reality. And Truth is the most adherent and potent form of programming.

Yeah, 'The Word' is an aspect of divinity which dwells in us which gives us the ability to use and understand language, to plan for the future, to reason etc which are all Godly attributes, these things are absent from animals. 'The Word' (Logos in greek) is just an aspect of the Truth, of the Truth and the Word are two aspects of the same thing (God)

Aye. It's funny how capable theologians are once they forget themselves and their 'orthodoxy', and reference things that would have once been 'heresy', like the Greeks and their 'Logos'.
human
lol, the concept of Logos is very Biblical and acknowledged by Christians and Theologians who know any Theology, its defo not heresy. Read Aquinas or guys like that, its a whole other world of philosophy and academic discipline that's hidden away from everything else

Mysticism is always the best way to go, from my experience. Since it involves the most optimal level of syncretism.
