Sitting here, rainy day (13 languages)

At a college, rainy day. Looking at an edition of the Iliad. Start writing a list in the back of it. Title list: Deep Languages.

This is really what we seek (deep, higher, living languages) to develop and to get beyond ourselves. To increase understanding, consciousness, real will...build being.....even the Holy Spirit comes via the living language of the Bible.

I came up with 13:

Bible
Iliad and Odyssey
Fourth Way/the Work
Classical Music
War
Wealth
Grail Romance
Athletics
Performing Arts
Plutarch
Thucydides
Folk Tales
Classical Covenant - Federal - Theology

Salvation is foundational. C Influence is beyond, requires 3rd state of consciousness. The moving, external world of things and events becomes language with it.

Some of the languages/influences effect necessary development. All-center development. Some are ends in themselves.

Plutarch and Thucydides seem out of place there, but I see them as monuments or architecture that deliver language beyond their words. Structure. Other similar works could be included, not many though.

The ones that are ends in themselves are Bible, biblical doctrine, Work development.

The two conscious shocks are the Grail, the two commandments of Christ, the sacramental presence, the key to union with God. What all mysteries and secret schools and higher visual languages and traditions that are true lead to and describe. - C.
