Dear friends I have memory of an early experiece. I was a baby at the crawling probably tottering stage, and I crawled all the way up the stairs to the landing, my Mum saw me amd as was her way paniced. I remember very clearly thinking whats all the fuss about I got up here myself I can go the rest of the way up myself and proceeded to escape the grasp of my mum. The point is I should not have been capable of expressng though in language at that time but my memory impression of it is very clear. I accept that going back to the memory I might have carried language with me. However the "thoughts" I am sure were original. At one time I played in a band and my memory was not that good ie I had to be told which key we were going to be in before each number started but once the first note was played I was away in full flight. I played bass guitar and seemed to remember " process thoughts" by emotion and moving shapes to represent the structure I used for any particular song. When we were getting a new hit record off I had not perhaps heard the bass part but it seemed to sugest it self to me from what the rest were playing. I played 4/5 nights a week and no doubt about it there was a telepathic exchange in the group, new ways of phrasing parts would come out of the ether spontaniously to us. It was an icredible experience. When my first wife had twins I got the birth pains. We are One if we care to acknowledge it. Language is very clever. I did Hypnotherapy training and as part of the course read about deep structure of a sentence. So much is not actually said but implied or sugested, hence we can get the wrong end of the stick. Even if you have not heard that phrase before you can intute its meaning because of the structure of the sentence before. Similarly in the two is inherent the third "Holy Trinity" In Tantric the two become one to realize the Third. Our friend Harsha is fond of reminding us of the "who is asking whom" who is it who asks etc our spoken/written language is but a tool perhaps 80% of language is nonverbal so it is a miracle that this list is relatively peaceful when there is only 20% of the comunication coming accross in e mail. So thats my though for today. I ration myself!!! Thinking is dangerous. Laughing Love Chris Sai Ram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
