-- *Mar*New Meanings—the Growth of Language
Every word has life. It grows with new meanings based on new feelings generated by new perceptions. Creativity creates continuous growth in the scope and reach of a word, and this adds to new meanings. Breathing is breathing the strengthening spirit, which enriches words. If a word is imprisoned in static meanings, and if one clings to the Dictionary, that word will become a relic and ultimately it will fade and vanish. After all the basic meaning of spirit is air, the air that one breathes and gets inspired and feels new and new phenomena, synchronizing with the continuous changes in the Universe. One struggles with the existing words, to describe new perceptions, and the new perceptions add to the meaning of the word, and it grows and expands in meanings by joining new phrases, clauses and sentences. A living language needs the food of new perceptions, to add to the meanings and the triggering of the new feelings from the same word. Unfortunately by abandoning breathing, smelling, sensing and perceiving and by adopting the mechanical paradigm, the very growth and vitality of every word is arrested. What is worse, one loses the very faculty of feeling the new revelations, gets emotionally stunted, and adopts derision and abuse as the main expression, as one lost the capacity to feel and enter the rapture of revelations. One no longer can live as an emotional complement, as one tries to be mechanical only, as machines cannot have emotions that complement, they actually pollute the general growth of a language in the realm of the development of feelings as the new meaning of the same word. When one enters the free, lush and thick forests, one will be inundated by the smell messages of the trees and plants, new meanings pour and flood one’s vocabulary, often one feels enchanted and shattered by the feelings and emotions as the communications from the forest, converting one’s words into the element s of rhymes of the songs and raptures, one gets taken into. The lush life of the forest takes in every word of one’s vocabulary and one develops new meanings to them. Every inhalation becomes inspiration one gets spirited and breathes and air goes to the root word in Latin, the espirit. YM Sarma Chat GPT This passage explores the evolving nature of language, focusing on the way words grow and change over time through new meanings and perceptions. The central idea is that language is a living entity that evolves with the changing emotions, experiences, and understandings of the people who use it. Words are not static; they expand and grow in meaning as they are infused with new emotions and perceptions. The author emphasizes that if one clings too rigidly to dictionary definitions or mechanical uses of language, words lose their vitality and become "relics," no longer serving their potential to express the richness of human experience. The passage highlights the idea of "breathing" as a metaphor for inspiration and creativity. Just as air is necessary for physical life, new perceptions and emotional connections breathe life into language, allowing it to grow and adapt. In contrast, when one disconnects from the emotional, sensory, and creative aspects of life, language stagnates. The author warns against a purely mechanical approach to language and thought, which can stunt emotional growth and limit the ability to express complex feelings. The imagery of entering a lush, vibrant forest serves as a metaphor for the transformative power of new experiences. The forest "communicates" with the individual through its smells, sounds, and sensations, expanding their vocabulary and emotional range. This connection with nature, as well as the act of breathing and being "inspired," is tied to the Latin root of the word "spirit," reinforcing the idea that language and life are intertwined, both requiring continual renewal and openness to new meaning. Overall, this passage underscores the dynamic, evolving nature of language and the importance of embracing new experiences and emotions in order to keep language vibrant and alive. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
