'Language' Articles
It’s not just words. Nothing you do or say is “just” anything. It’s you who inform the world through language. Body language, internal dialogue that we call thinking, it’s all language, and you inform the world. You tell it. It doesn’t tell you. We express our spirit in our inner world, our thinking, which manifests in the outer world in body language and speech, but the process of language is creative. The world was created in speaking, out of silence, and the beat goes on.
“Language shapes the way we think, and determines what we can think about.” Benjamin Lee Whorf (American Linguist 1897-1941)
“Thought is the blossom; language the bud; action the fruit behind it” Ralph Waldo Emerson (American Poet, Lecturer and Essayist, 1803-1882)
“Change your language and you change your thoughts.” Karl Albrecht
Inform the World
There is much criticism of language in the fad monasticism that seems to be the vogue of spirituality lately. Very Zen, and I’m no critic of Zen, but there is stuff beyond that point. Sort of like the Buddhist handling of the concept of Gods. They don’t go there, but it doesn’t mean it isn’t there. The story of the creation has been done in a lot of ways, and the secret of language magic is that it’s always happening. The “creation” happened, and it hasn’t ever stopped. Every moment starts in a void, an open space in our minds… Seek More
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, and essentially everything talks. For the longest while science believed otherwise, especially with animals. This was just a prejudice, and bad science. They have learned this is very far from the truth, and they even have experimented to see if simians, chimps and apes, were… Seek More
The World is Listening
The first discipline of language magic is listening, and at first you will be listening to yourself. This is necessary. As you listen to yourself, you will see the pattern and how it impacts the world. At this point, you can begin to make choices, but you can’t stop there. That’s just meditation, though that’s not bad in and of itself. As you continue to listen, you will hear on the same level as you hear your own thoughts, things that are not thought. They have nothing to do with your energies directly. Insights, perceptions, those “eureka!” moments, those aren’t… Seek More
Speak and Create
It’s not just words. Nothing you do or say is “just” anything. The energy in you to act wasn’t created by you. As it leaves you it imprints the world, and the world is a diary. Well, what have we written? What have we wrought? And why did we? The bards said “I have been a word in a book”. You are a word. People dismiss their presence online in the Second Life virtual world as just pixels. How do these people impact others who are also in Second Life? Pixels are data, words, imprints, and speech can be rendered… Seek More
