I was born during a time when colonialism had gained foothold. Children were now being forced to learn the white alien's language and adopt their ways. Prior to attending first grade, I spoke my native dialect of Ijebu, Yoruba and Egba. These languages are primarily vowel sounding with powerful intonations.
English on the other hand is a “low” language when it comes to power in spirituality. By “low” I mean the vibration the language carries. For example, try saying or thinking of the word “Help!”
What did you feel? When you say the word, does it vibrate through you?
Now try saying the same word in
Yoruba
, “E ba mi o!”
There’s a difference in both. The “gba” (pronounced ba with the ‘g’ in the throat) in
Eba
carries a vibration, whereas help falls flat.
However, remember that while the word falls flat it can still have an effect within the realm. The only way this is possible, however, is if the word comes from passion or a deeper baritone voice. The point is to project a greater vibration, so when uttering a word the body should feel vibration and all the chakras should awaken.
Many ancient languages avoid labeling. It's focus is on description and not a name. For example. There is no name for tree in Ijebu but rather the description of a tree. So the translation of tree is Idi Iroko meaning the root of spirit. People's names are descriptions of their divinations. My traditional name describes Omobolanle meaning the one who brings love home. A mountain is described as Aja okuta meaning the strength of power. A white man is described as Oyinbo meaning the one who got stung by a thousand bees (there is a story behind this which I will not get into in this blog).
Within the beautiful Hindu and Buddhist religions, the Universal word for peace is OM, so people who practice this kind of religion are told that they ought to meditate while chanting this word. When chanted, the inner ears begins to vibrate, this activates your pineal gland, located in the deep center of the brain, the third eye. Doing this consistently opens up your chakras thus allowing the person to awaken to higher consciousness, and this is what language is supposed to do for humans.
Now, saying ‘OM’ consistently would be unnecessary if the language one spoke in their everyday lives carried the same vibration as OM. But if the language is flat, the spiritual consciousness will be lower.
In first grade christian school, I was tasked with making labels and found a fundamental difference between my native tongue and English. I noticed that English emphasizes the "I" not doing. So, a sentence begins with "I" and doing or others implicated in the doing is secondary.
Additionally, the English labels had no meaning. I was confused as to how the western education system teaches linear and separate concepts. Math is taught separate and apart from science. We were then given abstract concepts and fake problems to solve. The one I found most laughable is the scientific experiments that sees to the extent an ant sees a human being.
In most ancient traditions learning occurs via real life phenomenon, For instance, you look at the moon and you learn the math, wisdom and history of the moon. So learning was cyclical and everything was connected.
