Chapter 10- Language: Recommended, Part 2


The learning of History works our imaginative processes as well, because of the very truth of the story which has gone before, yet still lives on within the recall of this planet.


Our imaginative powers are our natural clairvoyance. This clairvoyance can carry us into the sensing of truths which are of the past as well as of the now. When we openly inquire into history we are investigating times and places and communities which can be invoked through their own names and wordings given to that era. It is an all-round approach to the very words and their definitive origins often.

Equally so we can be respectfully given to that of our own history as it unfolds, in the keeping of a journal: a diary. Firstly all men and women are current beings. Our origins may comprise us, and so too may our futures be dormant yet there – but all in all, we are fixed in the here and now and given to that most properly. So the writing of a diary as a reflective exercise involves our current selves to become involved for a time in who we were. This makes for a great preparation for that period in which we shall view that of our past lives and conditions outside of this planet, and recall them also.



In order to make this possible we must be prepared for the very many differences we shall find between who we are now and that of our former selves. The ego itself is so current that it has not the wherewithal to make a complete connection in this regard. Overall this disassociation is healthy, proper and right – being also in accordance with the soulic overview, which knows that it is not in substance the characters, the personalities, or the details of any given story, but was rather the Christ who was there at each moment. We share our humanity through Him. 


We live out many stories and experiences. Our past is committed to the holy archive and kept from us that we may be truly free beings. Were that a man identified with that moment fully which has gone before him he would be trapped within it forever. But time and life push ever onward, ever further. We are brought up and out from the heartbeat preceding renewed and revivified, through Him, to begin again. No person is fixed in their nature or their characteristic representation – they can be self-made in a minute and dignified through the highest of high.


And so, when we put our past to a journal we do this from a current perspective which holds the very charity of Christ; and if anything finds amusement, endearment and wonder, it as as He does also at what has been. 


Finally, the practice of keeping an inner silence will also encourage the language within us. On the subject of prayer it was said that words can assist us in our referrals to our heart and beyond, and conversely also it can be said that such words are made special and go on to give hosts to others besides, once they have been at the doorways of inner prayer.



One cannot keep inner silence if we do not keep heart also. This requires an honesty within – that we be ‘bare before God’ – that we be sincere in our reckonings, appealing to Him. Everything becomes out of alignment with insincerity and subsequent dishonesty. There is no matter in which we cannot admit weakness or dishonour to Him. Better that we approach our own hearts with the concordance of all that we believe we have been and are, than some false premise which locks us out from our own very God because of it.

To some, the use of words becomes a magical propriety. They know that there is a profound implicative and invocative process involved with these beings. To others, language becomes practical – representational only, yet assistant to a higher communion between others. As affirmations, as configurative or creative expressions, our words may dance before others and delight the imaginations further. They may encourage, they may heal, they may draw us to deeper prayer. In all it can be said, that their employment leads to yet a further understanding of their mysteries to which they are entrusted and contain so well.
