--- Lingo ---
By
Alan Schneider
"Lingo" is
hipster slang for the more commonly recognized term "language" in the
English vocabulary. It has, however, a higher spiritual vibration than
its English language companion and, thus, will be the term used in
preference here!
Virtually every culture in history has developed some form of at least
verbal, and possibly written, lingo in support of its existence.
In fact, this "level" of lingo is only the first, and spiritually most
primitive, one, developed primarily for the base use of intercultural
exchange of resources. The author is aware of at least three spiritually
higher levels, described here.
So, spoken and written Words are the lingo of culture. The
next higher level is the lingo of the Mind - Symbols,
constituting symbolic mental communication. On this level, the personal
and collective consciousness is continuously "talking" to itself and
the waking conscious ego. The determined and resourceful Seeker can
acquire a knowledge of these symbols and their meanings on both the
conscious and unconscious levels of the Mind through the study of
preferably scholarly texts, coupled with meditation as a
"laboratory" technique. This lingo lexicon is vast and its interactions
and interconnectedness are complex, however, every mundane waking
perception also has a deeper symbolic meaning. Jung referred to these
symbols as archetypes, primarily residing in the collective human
unconscious, and generating culturally significant archetypal symbols
that can be brought into conscious recognition through the therapeutic
process he called individuation.
Virtually every set of recognized (and also unfamiliar) symbols has
archetypal significance in the Mind - including the well-known Tarot
Major Arcana, less familiar Viking Runes, even less familiar
Enochian tables, and many ancient systems such as the Egyptian
hieroglyphs and Sumerian cuneiform systems, to name a few examples. One
could devote one's life to the study of mental symbolism, acquire
advanced academic degrees in the field, and still barely penetrate the
surface of the subject! Jung himself engaged in such an undertaking
throughout his life, cataloging numerous symbol systems. Some of this
material is mentioned in relevant texts here in The Universal Light,
and the author encourages the Seeker to study both this website, and the
many legitimate, scholarly texts available on this fascinating subject!
The Mind and its lexicon of symbolic lingo is the gateway to the third
level of lingo humanly perceptible to this authors knowledge - the lingo
of the Soul - Vibration. An essay on this subject is
included in the Wisdom link, and the Seeker is referred to it now,
however, some additional commentary may be helpful.
Everything in the multiverse exudes a fundamental spiritual essence that
is its spiritual vibration in consciousness - stars, people,
objects, ideas, processes - everything. Through meditation and allied
practices, one can learn to perceive these vibrations directly, although
they are more properly described as being felt or sensed than seen or
heard per se. This level of lingo is very subtle, but very important,
because spiritual vibrations are also interactive, as are mental
symbols. These interactions are very high-vibrating in consciousness,
occurring on the Buddhic and Atmic Planes described in Doors In
Disguise, chapter seven, Yoga. The Soul is at a level contiguous
to God and the Logoic Plane on the highest spiritual level humanly
attainable, in the Seventh Chakra Sahasrara, technically beyond the
physical form(s) of existence, and only accessible in the altered state
of Samadhi in deep meditation, but once this condition is realized, it
has been initialized in consciousness and can then be much more readily
detected. The Soul and its attendant vibration(s) are, at least in part,
being transmitted to humanity by God for the sake of human
enlightenment and salvation. To this authors knowledge,
meditation and adherence to the spiritual practices described in Yoga
are the only ways to develop and enhance vibrational sensitivity, and
the Seeker is encouraged to pursue both areas of involvement.
Beyond the lingo of vibration lies the final level of lingo knowable in
the human condition - Radiance, the lingo of Heaven! When
and if the Seeker has sacrificed all prior concerns and preoccupations
and, through the Grace of God, experienced Samadhi, this level of lingo
can be perceived and understood. Simply put, God is continuously
achieving Creation as and through an outpouring of infinite Love and
Light everywhere in the multiverse. On the level of human culture on the
Material Plane this outpouring takes the form of sensory experience of
the "world" and objects until we achieve enlightenment and can
successively perceive the higher levels of lingo beyond the cultural.
Once the Seeker has been blessed with spiritual Grace, the additional
lingos become perceptible in sequence. Divine Radiance is the the lingo
of God in Heaven. And ultimately, this lingo is all there really is
anywhere, any time! I give you this gift...
