And so if Bernardo is coming from this analytic philosophy tradition, and we're coming from a tantric tradition, and we're coming to some similar sorts of things, then based on the principle of consilience, maybe it's more likely to be true.

Or at least we might have different fundamental assumptions or fundamental starting points that could allow for more fine-grained distinctions.

Because a lot of this borders at metaphor, analogy, when we get to the very edge of things.

In fact, it's and I'm sure we'll get to this, but anytime we talk, we talk in terms of objects.

But that breaks down when we're talking about subjectivity, right? So it's by design a little bit more difficult.

But Kashmir Shaivism as a tradition actually is very positive overall about the power of language, about the power of words, and how to use words in ways that do convey these sorts of experiential insights.

So I think that's overall kind of one of the most important things.
