The deep perversion of language…

Greetings,

Someone recently wrote a comment that I chose not to publish (due to it’s tone), deeply critical of my writing. And I looked over my old writing and saw a greater flow to the writing. Longer sentences, completed thoughts.

Recently, like a sputtering word-smith. Brrrrrp…….brrrrrrp……

Interesting. Very different quality and I agreed with the commentator at one level.

As always, the flow caught me and got me thinking about language in general. We ARE because of language. It is the densification of sound, giving form to this world we in-habit. And it really is just that. A habit.

Over and over, like religion, again and again, spoken into existence. I think therefor I am.

Cogito ergo sum.

Hmmmmmmmm……

I looked around and at myself and realized, that believing the above to be axiomatic (if there is a Yog I have practiced deeply, it’s Naad Yog, the Yog of Sound), I KNOW we are no-thing but a densification of patterned sound. The womb dictates the pattern. Simple eh? Thus too the fractal nature of the world.

if everything returns to one, what does one return into?

Language. If it is the ”creatrix”, then it’s wrought quite an awful screech of a world, hasn’t it?

It’s okay to be a Buddh and acknowledge suffering.

So look around, especially in a city (especially a city like Bangalore), and imagine for a moment that the entire edifice of what you perceive is condensed sound…… where is the harmony? Where is the resonance?

So our common, unspoken language has wrought for us this polluted, merciless, ruthless world of Industrialized corporate fascism….. OUR COMMON UNSPOKEN LANGUAGE.

It hit me like a brick. Can you see it? There is something deeply perverted in language. Beyond the perversions of ever shorter spans of attention. Beyond the perversion of pandering to the lowest common denominator in popular speech.

Even the best spoken amongst us are being driven by the in-herent devolution of language.

Cogito Ergo Sum, eh? Cogito Ergo Bum perhaps? I see a T-shirt there.

Cogito Ergo Bum.

Look back just a hundred years or so. The public and private discourse was in language rich and thick and still rooted in the true essence of what was attempted to be conveyed. Now?

Cut! Cut! Cut.

As a stark example:

From a fascinating article I read on the telegraph.co.uk site, on words removed and added to the Children’s Dictionary printed annually by the Oxford University Press. The definitive guide to English for Children.

Please see Social engineering in action, via language. It is the veiled fist. Please think about that for a moment…

What do you see?

Control language and control the world. It’s really that simple. Social engineering in broad daylight, by diktat.

If there is no word for something, it falls out of our memory, individual and collective. No point of reference, no-word to hang a memory tag on.

Here is another way to look at it.

Can you think of anything that has no word associated with it?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm….

Para-dox, eh?

Language is that important. TV perverts language. Authorities pervert language. Politicians pervert language. Parents pervert language. Social change perverts language (in a de-evolutionary time anyways).

As I’ve pointed out various times, etymologically…. English is rife with inversion perversion. Words have opposite current and origin meanings.

Is it any wonder then that our world seems so perverted? How do you become pure from the perversion of language? it’s really infected, don’t take my world for it, research it. Check out world after word on Etymonline.com.

Beauty, Handsome, Compete, Convenient…. on and on and on…..

But it is a rabbit hole you have to dive into. Every thought, every exchange perverts it further. Mis-take upon mistake.

Now it’s phrase perversion. I love you to death. I’m dying to go to Bali. I have a dead-line.

That’s sick. Crazy sick…

Like that…. on and on….

Perhaps the place to begin is in silence. Silence helps to deepen listening. From deep listening comes the ability to detect essence. And words will drop away and perhaps you too will feel awkward writing or speaking. I run a Design House? De-Sign? Remove the Sign, the essence and call it a good thing?

I say de-sign this and de-sign that all day. When I really want to say en-sign. I walk with an ensign crew. Who would understand me? Quite the trap. Now, the Yogi’s retreat to the mountains makes more sense. Language has been on a downward slide for millenia now. I’d say it’s perversion has been the prime tool of control.

I hope that made sense. Very interesting place to be for me….

And then, there was this… more social engineering. Clumsy but quite effective. A real tell….

In your face, literally. Look at the shadow. And the rest of it on the link.

Perversion.

I wonder where that word came from???

pervert (v.) c.1300 (trans.), “to turn someone aside from a right religious belief to a false or erroneous one,” from O.Fr. pervertir, from L. pervertere ”corrupt, turn the wrong way, turn about,” from per- ”away” + vertere ”to turn” (see versus). Related: Perverted; perverting. Replaced native froward, which embodies the same image. The noun is attested from 1660s, “one who has forsaken a doctrine or system regarded as true, apostate;” psychological sense of “one who has a perversion of the sexual instinct” is attested from 1897 (Havelock Ellis), originally especially of homosexuals.

Hmmmmm…….

Pure language…. what a concept. Some say Sanskrit has that element of purity, the word itself means perfectly formed.

Also, I saw the pernicious side-effects of allopathic medication. Un-believable. Absolutely un-believable.

A “Doctor” gives you a “Drug” and keeps you in a Hospital(ity) so that he/she can Cure you?

Cure you? Like curing dead meat for preservation? Doctor, Drug?

Heal, not cure, is what is needed.

The language is slippery at every step. At least on commonly trodden roads.

Please share your in-sights about language with me.

This upcoming week is going to be a zinger. A hummmmmmm-dinger. Feels very Thor’s Hammerish, if you get my drift.

Just breathing, deeply as often as I pay it attention/awareness.

Hugs all around,

Vivek
