Religion, Authority, and the Bible
These experiences are subject to distortion by the limitations of human language and understanding.
Watts suggests that Jesus, having been raised in a specific religious environment, expressed his spiritual insights in the language and framework of his time.
Ancient Aliens at War: Disguised as God’s Servants
He learned the language of the extraterrestrials and witnessed a war in the sky.
The Alpha Omega symbol
He began to explore mathematics as a spiritual language and published several books reflecting his newfound understanding of the interconnectedness of mathematics, philosophy, and life.
The speaker highlights the linguistic and cultural adaptations that took place as the Philistines settled in Canaan, likely adopting the local language of Phoenician.
Shifting Through Parallel Realities
This may include altering body language, attitude, energy levels, and even clothing.
Vagrein suggested that additional clues, such as the language of the communities Jessie would be teaching, could further narrow the search.
The Confederation of Planets
Ra describes the fourth density with approximations, as the language does not adequately cover the reality of this density.
The Mistake of a Life
The fine language I had intended to use was lost, and instead of trying to regain it, I merely said:
The Waters of Light
This pleased Menax greatly, and he proudly said:"Zailm, thy language pleases me!
The Aryan and Japhetic Colonies
I have shown in the chapter in relation to Peru that all the languages of the Hamites, Semites, and Japhethites are varieties of one aboriginal speech. The centre of the Aryan migrations (according to popular opinion) within the Historical Period was Armenia.
Linguistic Unity: The author asserts that all languages of the Hamites, Semites, and Japhethites are varieties of a single original language.
The linguistic argument, suggesting a common origin of languages among Hamites, Semites, and Japhethites, is used to reinforce the idea of a shared origin for these groups.
Linguistic Unity: While there are linguistic connections among Indo-European languages, the claim that all Hamitic, Semitic, and Japhetic languages stem from a single original language is a broad generalization that lacks support from modern linguistics.
Technology vs Spirituality
Thereupon the barbarians returned derisive language and declared that they would come upon his land and destroy his people with the sword.
It occurred to me that the fact of the lady's reply being couched in the Poseid language was indicative of her possession of a good education.
Native Poseid, the Suerni and Necropanic languages
Cultural and Linguistic Diversity: The narrator mentions studying various languages and cultures, including those of other nations, indicating a society that values linguistic ability and cross-cultural knowledge.
Suernis - A strange country mentioned in the context of studying languages.
Necropanic - Another civilization or culture related to the languages studied by the narrator.
United States of America - The country where the narrator lived and became proficient in multiple languages.
Then again, philology was almost as much so; my ability to acquire foreign languages was not inconsiderable, as I had found from studying a little volume descriptive of a land known as Suernis, a strange country, and of the language of which many examples were given; these I had without effort learned perfectly from once reading.
As co-efficients, I purposed thoroughly to ground myself in synthetic and analytical literature, not alone of my native Poseid, but also that of the Suerni and Necropanic languages.
It so much more firmly fixed my linguistic leanings that, while a citizen of the United States of America, I was a master not alone of my native tongue, but also of thirteen other modern languages, such as French, German, and Spanish, Chinese, several dialectal varieties of Hindustani, and Sanskrit as a sort of mental relaxation.
Caiphul
But civilization in all ages, among all nations, is wont to express itself in ways which, if modern language be used to describe them, will seem almost identical; so that in ancient Atl and in modern America the term "strike" may be properly used to designate a labor revolt; the same principle characterizes all other phases; for from age to age the world makes but slow progress, and is today not as far advanced in its present sub-cycle, nor as civilized, as it was in olden Poseid.
The Legend of Etana
These texts, written in the Akkadian language, are fragmentary, and much of the original story is lost.
Thus shall Babylon sink
The scattering of languages and the eventual decline of Mesopotamian Babylon mark the final end of the Atlantean legacy, fulfilling the metaphorical prophecy of Babylon's ultimate fall.
And the Lord said, 'Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do.
Come, let us go down and there confuse their language, so that they may not understand one another's speech.' So the Lord dispersed them from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city."
Reason: The Book of Job is often considered one of the oldest texts due to its archaic language, themes, and cultural references, which may reflect a period from the time of the patriarchs (Abraham, Isaac, Jacob).
Ezekiel 28:13: Describes the beauty of the King of Tyre with precious stones, which some interpret as symbolic language.
This phrase might be more related to other ancient Near Eastern mythologies or could be symbolic language found in other religious or esoteric texts, rather than in the Hebrew Bible.
The prophetic books are rich with symbolic language that could be reinterpreted in light of Atlantis:
Athene
The name "Athene" (or "Athena") for the goddess of Athens has roots in ancient Greek language and mythology.
In the Linear B script used by the Mycenaeans, the goddess appears as "A-ta-na" or "A-ta-na-po-ti-ni-ja," which means "Mistress Athena." This suggests that the name may have been adopted by the Greeks from an earlier language.
This suggests that the name might have been influenced by the languages or cultures that existed in the region before the rise of classical Greek civilization.
Was there a tower in Babylon?
The Tower of Babel story in the Hebrew Bible (Genesis 11:1-9) describes a tower built by humanity in an effort to reach the heavens, which led to God confusing their language and scattering them across the earth.
Yes, the words "Babel" and "Babylon" in the Hebrew language share the same root word, בָּבֶל (Bavel).
The story of the Tower of Babel in Genesis 11:1-9 is often interpreted as an etiology (a story explaining the origin of something), particularly explaining the origin of different languages and the name of the city of Babylon.
The narrative plays on the Hebrew word "Bavel," associating it with the Hebrew verb בלל (balal), meaning "to confuse" or "to mix," as in the story, God confuses the language of the people so they cannot understand one another.
This term is directly transliterated from the Hebrew בָּבֶל (Bavel), maintaining the name's phonetic qualities while adapting it to the Greek language.
Destruction of Babylon
The transformation of the Hebrew name בָּבֶל (Bavel) into the English name "Babylon" is a result of linguistic changes over time as the name passed through different languages and cultures.
Akkadian (Bāb-ili): The Akkadian name Bāb-ili was the name used by the Babylonians themselves and reflects their own language and culture.
Latin was the language of the Roman Empire and the Catholic Church, and many biblical texts were translated into Latin (such as the Vulgate).
Thus, the name Bavel evolved into Babylon as it passed through different languages and was adapted to fit the phonetic and orthographic conventions of each.
Jerusalem
The covenantal language and the depiction of God as a husband provide a framework within which the protective and nurturing roles of Asherah might be reinterpreted.
The Phoenician history
There has been and is much disagreement among theologians about the god honored among the Hebrews… The Roman Varro says, in discussing him, that among the Chaldaeans in their mysteries he is called Iao, which stands for “intelligible light” in the Phoenician language, as Herennius says.
Islands mentioned in the Bible
Elyon meaning “above” or “uppermost
He points out that this translation represents an unjustified forcing of language between Hebrew and other languages.
Humanity Before the Division of Sex
Humans experienced the outer life of nature directly through their senses, particularly hearing, which perceived every vibration and movement as a form of eloquent language.
The Lemurian Era
Steiner describes the Lemurians as having underdeveloped memory, lacking language as we understand it today.
His voice, too, and language were articulate and human; and a representation of him is preserved to this day.
It appears in several places in the Hebrew Bible, such as Psalms and Deuteronomy, often in poetic or elevated language.
The Baal Cycle
These texts are written in Ugaritic, a language closely related to Hebrew.
Why much of Ancient American history is lost
Consequence: Systematic separation of children from families, prohibition of native languages and cultural practices, leading to long-term psychological and cultural damage.
Language Suppression: Indigenous languages were often banned, contributing to the loss of linguistic and cultural heritage.
Hawaiian is not an official language of Hawaii, and it has been illegal to speak the ancestral language in public since 1896.
This law was implemented to make English the only language spoken in the islands to make Hawaii more like the rest of the United States.
While Hawaiian is now taught in Hawaiian schools, and there are efforts to revive the language, it is still technically illegal to speak it in public.
Boarding and Residential Schools: The Church operated many of these schools, where indigenous children were forcibly taken from their families, forbidden to speak their native languages, and compelled to adopt European customs and religion.
This led to the loss of indigenous languages, traditions, and identities.
Assimilation and Trauma: Forced assimilation through boarding schools, leading to loss of language and culture, and long-term psychological trauma.
The influence of the Roman Catholic Church on indigenous peoples has been profound, with lasting impacts on their cultures, languages, and societies.
