 "I AM" - The moment that God became aware of himself?
Aum, Amen, Amin?
Are they all pointing towards the 'Big Bang'?

  1. No.

    I believe they're all pointing toward the moment of language-based human subjectivity - not necessarily to be confused with "self"-awareness, which may in fact not depend on the presence of language as its substrate.

  2. But isn't language (whether spoken, written or just perceived) a requirement for communication.
    And wouldn't communication be a requirement for self-awareness?
