Before Words


 My First Blog Post
Back to Full Blog  

Before there were words there was still communication. in the same way we communicate with animals and they communicate with each other. If we are afraid, no wordy protest,no pretense to the contrairy will change an animal knowing that you are afraid. While language has a lofty status in the world, it is interesting to notice that lying is impossable whithout words. One can trick or act in a misleading way, which I have observed animals do but they litterally canno't tell a lie. Also, a dog or a horse raised in Russha or the US, has no problem moveing to anouther country and communicateing with a dog or a horse there. There has been no tower of Babel except among man.

With language one may construct hhypothetical theory, say how the world came to be. Different peoples of the world were very separated long ago and as it seems all came up whith a VERBAL description of how things came to be. of course everyone did not, could not, come up with the SAME verbal description. That others thought differently was perceived as a threat because we build up our whole SELVES out of words. What we see is conflict and struggle brought about by everyone fighting to protect thier own and thier societies verbal construction
of right and wrong etc. Words being vocal sounds that are only symbols of things, meaning different things to different people ,even those speaking the same language, the stage is set for confusion and downright fraud.
If, For example, I stand by a person, and feel a sense of belonging there and of love,I trust THIS. It is never wrong if it comes about naturally and I am reasonabally sane. There muat be a safe and proper use for worda of course .I think that the importance of honesty is much mre than of education or of intellegence in communication. Then
what is conveyed will be as close to the truth as one can make it. There in lies the good and right as I see it.
I wonder if the brain of man is different from that of other animals because the cereabal cortex came to be to store all the words we use and our personal definition of these words and maybe all the words we ever heard or used. Perhapps the flattened forehead of eariler man bed
became more like the present because of the advent of the use of language and the need of more storage space.
I give credit to J. Krishnamurti for telling me that the word mountain is not a mountain but only a sound that represents a mountain.
Most of the thinking I do is out of the box so I can look at things in a new way. This also results in actually getting out of the box and in being my own chosen kind of self. And it's fun!
I really wish someone would actually READ this though.
Would love some feedback!
