So many people take language for granted so much.
They sort of just assume it's like.. A normal/natural evolution that lines up with their perception of how they think humans evolved.
For example.. They think it's just another tool sorta like wheels and arrows and things like that that helped us survive better.
Many people don't care much at all to even learn the basic spelling of basic words let alone proper definitions or etymological history.
But.. It's actually one of the most important things in life in my opinion.
And.. One of the ways in which we are controlled the most unknowingly.
Words are in a sense sort of like programming code for a computer, words produce mental pictures in human minds.
So if you know how to sort of.. Use these words to input desires into people in a similar way that people programm computers, it's very very possible.
Hypnotists, magicians, wizards, etc.. These are largely just people who understand language to a high level!
They would be normal people if the muggles weren't muggles. And because I know language at such a high level.. Unfortunately.. Most people seem like muggles to me.
I'm not trying to be mean, and I don't even know a SUPER large amount, I just know enough to know.. Most people are being brainwashed by language and they don't even know it.
There's more evidence than ever for me to think our current language is more of a "slave" language. It was not a naturally evolving thing as much as it was computer code to program the slaves.
However.. Due to the nature of language and how it is always changing with new generations who want to create their own new words and meanings.. It's not a 100% prison. We can break out of it and we constantly are, but they are also constantly reeling us in.
We can change words over time and that helps, but they ultimately own the letters and have the master copy, and perhaps even a higher language above this one.
Yet.. I mean just think about it.. Virtually everything is language/information.. And it's the most powerful way to control others if you can simply program them like a computer.
So no wonder it's made to seem so boring and normal and just a part of evolution as opposed to one of the ultimate master keys which can free us.
I more and more think the reason so few people are interested in language is because the people in power want it that way.
They want people to think it's just like a cave man invention and there's nothing special to it, it's just a normal way to communicate..
But in reality.. It's what can destroy their illusion and remove them from power if that is even possible.
It all makes so much more sense to me now.. They want people able to understand language enough to be programmed by it, but they don't want people to understand language enough to understand the programming or to learn how to program themselves.
If we start questioning where our words and thoughts come from and what they mean and the implications of such..
I think it can only end up leading towards the ones in power behind the curtain who would rather not have their existence known.
As simple as it may seem.. I think if people in mass really start trying to make sense of where their thoughts and words come from.. That before too long we will be discovering hiddens forces at work all over the place that were put in place and designed to control us before we were ever born.
If we can get the masses more focused on such things, I think it could be such an important thing. The longer we stay hypnotized in this trance not even knowing anything is wrong or what almost anything means.. The longer all the misery and suffering and war and torture and exploitation will continue at such depressing and discouraging rates.
As crazy as it sounds, life is really like a bunch of muggles being entranced and controlled by a few magicians.. If somehow we can help the muggles realize they are also magicians.. Then I think we can make some really serious positive changes! :D
I have been watching quite a few videos and reading a lot since the etymology round and this woman has so many great points she breaks down in the comments
Oh I love her! I discovered her like.. Around a year ago or so I think.. Not too long ago! I watched every single video on her channel, lol.. I love her style! She inspires me a lot. Thanks for sharing! :D
Thank you for getting me to continue on this journey of learning!!
You're welcome! Thanks for being open to the information! ._.
@apolymask sir...
As a languages student I value very highly the learning of languages but many people nowadays don’t agree. When I hear the phrase “But…everyone speaks English.” I want to scream! 4 out of 5 people do not speak English and only 7 per cent of the world’s population speaks English as a first language. The world WE’RE in may be full of people who speak English but learning languages open up a new world. Recently I was asked what I think the importance of languages is and I thought about it. I have made three point of the reasons that I, personally, think learning languages is essential and invaluable.
Languages are a passport to another world.
Passports and planes can take you to anywhere in the world but can you really know a country without knowing the language? With a language you can get to know and get involved with the culture. You can meet people from that country and talk to anyone you may meet on the street. You can ask for directions and know what you’re ordering in a restaurant. You can go beneath the surface of the tourist aspect and discover the true secrets about a country and how it works.
It’s a sign of respect and creates instant connections.
Even if someone speaks your language, to arrive in their country and assume they wish to speak it to you is slightly ignorant. This is one of the reasons that Anglophones are infamous for being so rude abroad, the majority of them don’t make any effort to speak anything other than English. Even attempting a few words when in a shop or asking for directions shows that you have had enough respect to at least try. I have found that speaking someone’s mother tongue to them creates instant friendships as well because they feel more comfortable around you when they can be themselves.
A lot of things are “lost in translation”.
If you have ever read a translation in your native language that has been translated from another language and the looked at the original, you will know this. Some of the translations are very embarrassing! There are a lot of idiomatic phrases that cannot be translated because they only make sense in that language. Things like humour and play on words can also only be appreciated in the original language.
Thanks sir...
Language is s double edged sword, like much. Even compassion is, love, etc. Etymology is important, that;s why we shouldn't chagne the meaning or words, because that's part of the problem that alters perception of reality. Anarchy for example. No-rulers, now is meant to convey chaos... Etymology of words is important, and to not change words is important ;)
Useful information .
Helpful post..
@apolymask great information........
Language - South Africa has 11 official languages - I can only speak 2 fluently, and know a few words and phrases in another. I sometimes edit theses for university students - and I often get the urge to edit posts here ... but this is a free platform with few rules and diverse contributors (English still the most widely accepted medium though).
Words - indeed powerful and influential, can be empowering or destructive - choose them wisely.
Hope I don't sound like a muggle!
Knowledge is the key to all power, and knowledge is gained through understanding of language. If we do not understand, if we can not understand, if there is nowhere to turn to gain that understanding, then we will never have the power to de-hypnotize ourselves. The root of all knowledge begins with language.
I liked this post. People really need to stop and think about language, and what it's true power is.
