Me, Myself & I- 10

The Mystical Language -

Language itself is not only a configuration of meaning but also a host of beings particular to each and every naming.

These beings are living entities who are conjured before us when provoked by a thought; eager to be expelled through the issue of a spoken word.

Some beings over time have been enlivened considerably and it is the ancient verbiage which will appeal best to incantations and ‘tongue-talk’ (the semi-conscious raving given to the experience of those antique ramblings taken to be in holy ecstasy - a condition where the words talk through the man, and not he through them).

Formerly each word contained the reality of its source. The names conveyed a meaning, bore a picture of the sensing of that which it was representative to ... and today, even to some degree, that parent source remains. However it lives amongst the ether and memory contained now in the body of a being as well.

For the esoteric student to lovingly connect with certain passages or phrases, mantras or meditations, verses or even the singular word, he may firstly learn to ‘sense’ the reality just by coming (in repetition) to its composure.

Not only is he associate to the originator and all of its contemplatives since, he has born within him a new receptivity and a relationship to that being of meaning he may take into his comprehension should he so choose.

Verbosity is both an art and a skill. It requires the imaginative attunement to begin the correlation between thought-beings, word-beings and concepts, and the practice of will in the repetition of the effort and understanding.

Modern language harvests the freshest of beings, who given to the persuasion of impressions are more recondite to their purpose. The etymology of modern speech can be confusing when we discover that certain derivatives have so altered in meaning as to be used with an entirely different orientation. The word can be divorced from its origin, so severed when it is expressed in a dual capacity. This applies to holy names which are issued with blasphemous intent. Once again the power and the reality, the essence and the characteristic of the meaning incorporated in that very word is made transversed.

Now, importantly there is a prime correlation between speech and the dynamic of thinking. Words may in themselves effectively teach a man to think and explain their natures to him. Yet, this faculty of process can become splintered when the individual runs through the counter process of consciously correcting themselves and mismanaging the words in relation to the corresponding thought - therefore ‘lying’.

If we divorce our reasoning from our words, then it becomes that the words no longer shall stimulate the reasoning. If the student enters into a living correspondence with the words which he uses consciously and thoughtfully then the verbiage itself may come in part to teach him. There is a living relationship between himself and the words so spoken from him.

The disassociation between words and thought does not necessarily begin with deceit or malintent. It can involve a lacking of consciousness connective to the words so used, with catch phrases and lazy thinking which of themselves become equally as deleterious.

When a holy name is given in angst we are inwardly jolted by the astounding bi-polar reality it has caused. The very ‘power’ of the blasphemy is cheaply won and does lie in the lie - in the corpus mundane - in the actuality being provoked and then so sharply dismissed. Eventually such a sad habit will once again bring about the severance and death within the man to his very life-thought, for he is separating himself, lacking a correspondence which flows from truth to heart to mind to thought to word.

The esotericist who values his language and entertains each being as a demi-divinity of great property and offering, shall by sincerity sharpen his perception and insight into those mysteries he would come to know. On the other hand, for the student who cannot ‘live’ their very words, but rests at a distance behind them and is disconnected, he will possibly look to the power of the archaic language and find more substance within the singular invocation, but shall not come to the many voiced passages of verbatim that score the complexities, revealing and revering their truths within.

Esotericism exacerbates particular problems as much as it does further certain talents. A given talent in a man can very quickly be heightened or made known, whilst a deficiency will gravely worsen, indicating that there is much to address within the physical life without proceeding any further upon the theoretical, magical conceptualisation. In the instance of a student who has not the coherent connections with words which are of his own, he has the possibility of deteriorating into a condition where he will forsake intelligence for babble, conversation for grandstanding and reality for memory-dwelling review.

Language is an outward vehicle to the ego, bearing a significance not only in the present but also in its future use, as it shall manifest the imaginative directives of all men one day and verily they shall see their thoughts materialize right before them!
