John 1
1 In
the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
"in
principio erat Verbum et Verbum erat apud Deum et Deus erat Verbum"
The word in the translated
text was logos which does not mean "word".
We do not know about
the beginning and certainly not about a word creating our universe and us.
Modestly we may see all this as an emanation of what we may call God or not. It,
all, God, is beyond the grasp of
thoughts and thankfully beyond the significance of words.
We cannot go beyond
experience and sensation of presence in
our understanding.
As cutting as words
may be as a tool of communication they lack the essence of truth, and analyzing
words makes us stumble between shadows and walk in circles without awareness of
the flow of life.
I am afraid of
words, more and more, afraid of my own words.
From early childhood
words define our perception of this life, this world, each other.
We learn to call a
rose a rose and learn to be stupidly satisfied by recognizing a rose as a rose.
We do not SEE it anymore as before when we still didn't know to say rose.
I have to learn a
new language without words.
and more is not to say
