A new language

Abeceda

A new language

At some stage humanity will have to re-invent language (or found it again) - the way we have communicated so far, doesn't fit the bill.
Somehow intentions, sources, experiences are left when a sentence is given.


Gospel Of Philip: Names given to the worldly are very deceptive, for they divert our thoughts from what is correct to what is incorrect. Thus one who hears the word "God" does not perceive what is correct, but perceives what is incorrect. So also with "the Father" and "the Son" and "the Holy Spirit" and "life" and "light" and "resurrection" and "the Church (Ekklesia)" and all the rest - people do not perceive what is correct but they perceive what is incorrect, unless they have come to know what is correct. The names which are heard are in the world [...] deceive. If they were in the Aeon (eternal realm), they would at no time be used as names in the world. Nor were they set among worldly things. They have an end in the Aeon.

Babel

In the Bible, the story of Babel is a turning point, when the people lost their abilities to talk properly to each other, after that the confusion of languages started.
On the other hand, during Pentecost something happen that is of great augur :

And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them utterance. And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. Acts 2:1–6 in all major bibles

Rudolf Steiner



If you ever wanted to know more about occultism, and higher worlds, etheric body, astral body, and so on and so forth ... you may want to read the various work of Rudolf Steiner.

Here's a few selected books and topics covered

PHILOSOPHY OF FREEDOM Steiner's most Important philosophical work deals both with epistemology, the study of how man knows himself and the world, and with the issue of human freedom.

In the first half of the book Steiner focuses on the activity of thinking in order to demonstrate the true nature of knowledge. There he shows the fallacy of the contemporary idea of thinking, pointing out that the prevailing belief in the limits to knowledge is a self-imposed limit that contradicts its own claim to truth.

The possibility for freedom is taken up in the second half of the book. The Issue is not political freedom, but something more subtle; freedom of the will. There are those who maintain that man's thoughts and actions are Just as determined as a chemical reaction or a honey bee's behavior. Steiner points again to the activity of thinking, from which arises the possibility of free human action.

OCCULT SCIENCE, AN OUTLINE This work of nearly 400 pages begins with a thorough discussion and definition of the term “occult” science. A description of the super sensible nature of man follows, along with a discussion of dreams, sleep, death, life between death and rebirth, and reincarnation. In the fourth chapter evolution is described from the perspective of initiation science. The fifth chapter characterizes the training a student must undertake to become an initiate. The sixth and seventh chapters consider the future evolution of the world and more detailed observations regarding super sensible realities.
