Can we learn to speak in a different language mode,
and does it change our experience of reality?

Dear reader,

A new call is resonating within me—a call for fresh research and a new book. A few months ago, I felt a spark of excitement while working on an article about language and non-duality. Since then, amidst many other commitments, that call has grown louder. Now that I have a proper writing desk in my own study, I’ve begun sketching out the lines for the research I want to undertake and the project I hope to lead.

Long ago, I wrote a bachelor’s thesis on linguistic relativity, which poses the question: does your native language determine the world you perceive? People who speak French express things in a different way than those who speak Dutch. Does this mean they also see a different world?
