the curse of babel wasn’t confusion, it was literacy. the problem isn’t languageS but language in and of itself. while language allows man to convey things both material and abstract to his fellows, language also alienates him from his deepest soul and from the perception of things beyond.
there are ancient things, within and without, that are unnameable. things beyond the cognition of everyday life. the more abstract, supernal, empyreal a concept is the harder it is to put into words and the less we put them into words the harder it becomes to do so at all, like an atrophied muscle.
men will not ascend until they do away with the parasite of language and start truly feeling their inside worlds and engaging the outside world as it truly is.
