Language to me is abstract, its like playing with the game that everyone has to play. But its really important, just take for e.g. which is the most important factor that played a vital role in making humans a dominant species, is the abilty to communicate through language (indirectly related to the Creative brain). Think of the world without language, is like sea without a boat.
But one thing that language doesn’t have is the ability to express as it has been observed, I mean you can explain a situation to someone but the other person has to apply some of his mind to understand it (error prone). I am talking of something of the coordinated communication (people call it extrasensory perception or bio language) i.e. for e.g. one of the perfect things that had been created are various life forms: humans, animals, trees etc. So how does the communication takes place inside the life forms, it’s all coordinated communication, cell talking to other cells or the brain talking to the other organs of the body, and it’s perfect, God is great! God knew that language could sometimes be confusing so God made co-ordinated communication; GOD doesn’t want to take any chances with communication breakdown.
Language Revisited:
In order to understand the language and its use, we must also understand the use of the mind and subtle relations existing between the human beings. We used the mind to explain and to understand. A person can express the things very well, but what I understand of his words is what my own mind formed in the world of my concepts. The concepts high, low, long, short; skinny, fat, etc. are form in our mind. When i was small, i thought that my mother was very high! And we continued saying that the Earth is great, because we didn't watch the Universe very well. We are continuously "inventing" things, images, forms, and concepts. What we understand of the world is what it forms inwards from the senses. We have concepts of God, the freedom, the happiness, the love, the peace, etc, etc. One thing is our concepts and another different one is the reality. For that reason the great philosophies have affirmed whenever the world that we see is not the reality.
From this point of view, the word, the language, limits us. This inferior function is that most of people recognizes. But, to speak is also a creative function. The most wonderful aspect of the language is the capacity to create. That is what makes us human really. With the words (written or spoken) we are creating images and emotions for the others and ourselves. An intelligent word can save a life; a loving word can wake up the most sublime emotions. This type of use is the one that generates that perceptive communication, so deep and beautiful. That allows the great mystics, poets and philosophers, to present his wisdom. Using the correct words also we approached the truth. The use of the language is the first weapon to reach the knowledge. In order to begin, doing us the questions: Who I am? What is the life? What is the death?
The dialogue continues.
That’s interesting, now this in connection to the language again, one thing that the language has helped us, is in defining ourselves relative to one another. Sometimes I wonder that why lots of things are hidden from us, its just that GOD don’t want us to know it or the GOD wants us to do some hard work in revealing the secrets or the last one is that the GOD has some other motives and just want us to keep ourselves busy.
So from the beginning of the history what all we have done, is we tried to learn the basics of nature and put it to use, constructive or destructive. We invented one theory and then later we found a replacement theory for previous one, but this itself is great at least one is hoping to find the basics of life if god wants us to do some hard work before revealing the secrets or the last one.
Back to language again so this looks like (Two Way Communications):
One’s frame of perceptions (speakers) + expression (words, common knowledge base) + other’s frame of perception (listeners) = information (right, wrong) + common knowledge base (right, wrong) + additional frame of perceptions (right, wrong).
Whatever is in blue is my own interpretation and that could be wrong, I am also having my own set of knowledge base that is based on my previous perceptions, and observations, so that is why people put more emphasis on practicals, I am leaving this point here to give some good examples what I have for some thing that is closer to exact communication.
Exact or Closer Communication:
Musical instruments (guitar, violin, drums), every note / beat has only one meaning, For guitar tune your relative to piano then u can have same ground for all if you are playing in group, what we have done here is, we have removed the frame of perceptions from all the group member’s mind. Music is one example of perfect harmony and communication a Language of Commoners and other is communication through BIO-Language, I did mention it in the first section and its too complex too explain it here in detail (That’s something for future blogging).
Last Thought:
My head is spinning and these twisted thoughts I am unable to overcome, so friends before we move on to the concept of Coordinate Communication or Musical Harmony, try to experience as much as this language that exists in various form today (Hindi, English, Spanish etc) has to offer, play with the emotional content of it, makeup, breakup, love, friendship, gossip and lot more. I to haven’t used it to full extent too but will start just after finishing this blog. Don't worry too much about the Said, the Unsaid, the Confessed and the Felt as my friend has mentioned in his blog http://saurabhthakur.blogspot.com/2006/02/unsaid-revisited.html.
I don’t know whether our life will be peaceful, beautiful or even meaningful, if we evolve up to that stage of perfect communication. All the concept of expressiveness, beautiful words, story telling and lot of other things which we are accustomed of will all be useless, the most sad part, there will be no interference of emotions in our day to day conversation, which we all are so accustomed to, so receptive to all these emotions, how can I forget that all of us care when someone say that "I like you or I love you or I hate you or I will kill you".
