> I was not really conscious throughout most of it.

I disagree. hear me out. I think you were just using a non-linguistic mode of consciousness.

We are far too accustomed to thinking and being (and imagining that we are) made out of words, or things that can be put into words. But I have chosen to believe that this is merely one amongst various others ways to think.

Language is a tool. A human being is not made out of words (from a language). Nonetheless, a lot of what we imagine ourselves to be is made out of words (from a language).

Let's not keep on making the mistake that what we are is something that can be *completely* put into words.
