Moving Beyond the Tower of Babel

Words suffice to describe the feelings of most of us for everyday purposes, yet they never suffice for those of us who seek a deeper understanding and fulfilment. They limit the sensations by attempting to define them. This is unfortunate since it will not allow for fluctuations and subtleties that need expression yet cannot find words.

The medium of feelings to communicate sensitively has long been used by ancient cultures but we have lost touch with this innate skill that transcends language barriers; barriers of language both within cultural groups and between them.

The goal of this article is to awaken in some a desire for a return to what was once normal, to what expresses accurately one’s feelings and needs without having to struggle to find suitable words. Once relearned, this skill enlivens the connection between humans and brings the possibility of mutual understanding at a deep level in a way that is not possible with words.

This process I describe for feeling sooner than speaking is communication by telepathy. It takes time and practice to ‘build the muscle’ we all have as our birthright and time is on our side as we slide into a new era and begin to seek understanding as the source of mutual respect and love amongst humans as well as the source of world peace.

In future I will explore some practices one can adopt to begin the process of rebuilding the muscle of this important skill for mankind’s long term growth and survival.
