I wish I had a little haiku or something for you guys, after not being around for so long.

I'm currently frustrated because I had this really beautiful thought about grace n' stuff, but I can't remember what verses it was actually based on so. I think I wrote it down somewhere, but I can't find it anywhere. guh

I'm quite peachy. I have...plans for the future. Neat plans. :D

...I think it's in Hebrews...

I'm just going to leave this here.

Wait. No.

I was thinking about words. And the brain. Honestly this isn't my forte so this might not seem very profound to you...but the brain is friggin' cool. So much of what we do is just done automatically by little parts of your brain without you needing to worry about it. Like words. We have a thought we want to express, and some part of your brain internally translates that into bite-sized chunks, and then into the actual words. And then some other part automatically translates that into the muscle movements that form the sounds that other brains will translate back into raw thought and emotion.

But what if we didn't have those embedded functions? I'm not talking about neglecting to learn language. I'm saying, what if your brain didn't translate your thoughts into words? What would you have left? If we can't order our thoughts into words, even internally, how much room for thoughts do we even have? Assuming we have souls that "live" outside of our brains, how much of that capacity is included in our souls? Speaking of which, if memories are chemically etched into our brains, and a soul is somehow non-chemical in nature, do our souls have memories? How does that work?

mmmm

Not being able to translate thoughts into words seems like it would make for quite a hellish existence.

This actually makes me really sad because we currently have a professor who just had brain surgery to remove a tumor and it was in her language center. She's a columnist for the city paper, too. I could send you a link and you could read more about her journey with language and how she copes.

I read a children's book once that claimed that all human beings were once able to communicate without the use of language. Audible and physical sources of expression were unnecessary.

Everybody was tapped into each other as one unified form of consciousness.But one day, a human discovered how to block that flow and separate himself from the others.

This gave him a significant amount of power. Eventually, all humans began following in his footsteps to secure their privacy.

Maybe if language didn't exist, the brain would adapt to communicate with each other more intimately!
