  • Language of Fear

    Language of Fear

    Life is communication. I don’t speak the language, so I have had to pantomime. People aren’t very observant, or they choose not to see or hear. Poor choice. I’m often pointing out a self destruct. If there isn’t any danger then I let them move about as they have not chosen to do. I let…

  • Language of Diplomacy

    Language of Diplomacy

    Humans give charms power not vice versa? Well, humans relate to power by charms. Even if it’s just a spoken phrase that seems like a fetish, like “I can’t” or “I don’t know”. If you are healthy, your eyes are always communicating with light on some level, your ears with sound, your body communicating contact…

  • It’s All Language

    It’s All Language

    Do we choose words because of an inherent energy the sound makes (freq. etc.), or do we impart the energy to the words with our intent? Both actually. The pattern of language is in the world; birds, bees, dolphins, whales. It’s really everywhere. The emissions from quartz deposits are patterned. They are not white noise,…

    Primal Language

    Trivia question. What do the names Merlin and Horus have in common? Both are linked to a type or predatory bird. A hawk’s name. Do you know the meaning of the name Merlin? It comes from the Welsh language and means “laughter” or “He who laughs a lot” because laughter is the shortest way to…

  • Crystal Language

    Crystal Language

    All patterns of any kind are information, which brings us to the subject of “crystal” language. Math is basically crystal language in that it forms ordered and static patterns and interacts with other values in a consistent or “quantum” way. Basic integer math is the basis of even our spoken language characters. All the characters we…

  • Universal Language

    Universal Language

    Metaphysics and magick are at their heart a language. This is why I took to them early on, it being my gifted area. But unlike regular language, the relationships are not strictly defined. Thus they often call magick both an art and a science. Since humanity has felt the urge to speak at all, there…

    Did you know that the word coincidence means fitting perfectly? It originally did. Co-incidence = mutual happening. The term occult means hidden from sight. This is where we get the word occlusion, but the only party that has made anything hidden from sight is humans. Animals don’t do it. Animals will bathe themselves and mate…

  • Connection to Language

    Connection to Language

    So yes, you are surrounded by music. You have been living in this non-stop rhythm of sensory stimuli all your life. This leads to a form of what they call sensory satiation. The process of evolution or formation that an impression or experience goes through has ceased to have much meaning. Repeat the word ‘taco’…

  • Earliest Written Language

    Earliest Written Language

    The earliest “written” language would have been pictographic. Cave paintings would in time become more complex, to the point where say in the work of the native tribes of the northwest, you get complex imagery, almost mandala like composite “pictures” containing a lot of symbolic imagery in the picture of a raven, say. With native…

  • Evolution of Written Language

    Evolution of Written Language

    To begin with, written language or what would lead to written language, took not one form but two. The obvious pictographic imagery and what would be the earliest ideographs. Imagine for a moment you have one of the earliest cave painters. As much as they were able to depict things they saw in the world…

  • Language Guides Thought

    Language Guides Thought

    English speaking cultures notoriously have a spotty sense of direction. How clear would you say the rules of structure are in English language? Very ambiguous. The difference between normal English and the Queens’ English for instance. And there is no difference between how you structure the order of your words and how you structure your…

  • Language of Perception

    Language of Perception

    Today, we are talking about the language of perception. Our language itself arose from the behaviour of our perceptual faculties. We even created a form of sign, when we began to really understand the deaf, that would allow them to approximate our own communicative range. But as much as perception encompasses our grasp of language,…

  • Tribal Understanding: Capacity for Language

    Tribal Understanding: Capacity for Language

    Another example, the old legends of humans talking with animals was seen as absolutely nonsense. More and more, brain size seems less likely to play a role in brain power. Even things like sea slugs seem able to perform cognitive functions that would seem impossible, even microscopic worms, and some of these organisms don’t even…

  • Transcend Limits of Spoken Language

    Transcend Limits of Spoken Language

    Sumerian cuneiform is one of the worlds oldest languages, written scripts that is. In it’s original form it had around 1000 characters and no linguistic content. So to start, and maybe to add some focus, what is your familiarity with Sumeria the culture and language so far? Very little. Well, Sumerians were in the ancient…

  • Sumerian Language Structure

    Sumerian Language Structure

    More about the structure of Sumerian language is perhaps relevant as many contemporary thinkers and researchers would say it contains the very essence of their psyche. We do know something of their language and its structure though there is no surviving descendant form of it today. Even Latin still has vestiges in modern languages spoken…

  • Effect of Language on Cognition

    Effect of Language on Cognition

    Perhaps a look at the basic elements of language and how that would effect cognition, and specifically as that would have effected the Sumerians. The two components of language are expressive and lexical, and it was up until recently believed that languages with compound features were unique to human beings. This is likely very far…
