"I will restore to
the peoples a pure language, that they may call upon the name of the Lord to serve him with one
consent." - Zephaniah 3:9
Introduction to Edenspeak
If the link between the ear and the sense of balance is a
relatively recent medical discovery, why is it that the ancient Hebrew language has the
same linguistic root for both words? Science fiction, or science fact? Is Hebrew the first
human language? Is it a language of human or of extra-terrestrial origin?
The oldest human skeleton with the hyoid bone for speech was found in a cave near
Haifa, Israel.
On the 50th anniversary of Israel's independence, many observers agree that perhaps
the greatest success of the State of Israel has been the revival of the ancient Hebrew
tongue, or Proto-Semitic.
Only Hebrew language dynamics with its built-in synonym and antonym system
explains why LeaF and FoLio (LF=FL) mean the same, or why a person who knows Hebrew well
can fully understand English, Basque or Swahili.
The majesty of Hebrew is only faintly visible in its offspring. Yet, some
continue to maintain that most words are random, meaningless symbols which evolved from
your basic caveman grunting.
Hebrew, with its right brain/left brain neurological keyboard demonstrates that
Greek and Latin are merely grandparents, while Hebrew is the common ancestor, the original
computing language of our biological random access memory, which was scrambled during the
output stage by the Master Programmer (Tower of Babel story in Genesis).
Don't worry if you have never heard a word in Hebrew or read anything on language,
you will soon find out that you have never heard a word that wasn't Hebrew.
While the spelling of biblical words is highly significant, much meaning is
lost to those who ignore the sound-alike letter substitution -- one aspect of the divine
music that remains unattainable to those who rely solely on available translations. One
special aspect of biblical craft remains lost in translation to Greek, Latin, or English.
The language disk in our brain is formatted for language. A unique neurological
disturbance may be involved in a phenomenon which allows patients with multiple
personalities and people who "speak in tongues" a mysterious facility with
unlearned languages.
To uncover the true miracle of language and understanding, we must go on an
archeological dig. We must remove the sands of millennia and put away the dictionaries with
their quaint myths of standardized spelling and pronunciation.
The Hebrew etymon breaks the cherished icons of the high priests of voodoo
linguistics and secular humanism -- as exemplified in the polygensis theory of language
origin, that languages evolved independently. Why do peoples with divergent grammars, the
Maya, the Chinese, the Persians and the Greco-Romans, have variations of the Bible's Tower
of Babel account or The Flood? Hebrew's extensively related synonyms and antonyms, along
with its modular, reversible two-letter roots, represents a profound system of language
that resembles the organicism of natural science rather than the product of human
development.
Through the primal Hebrew root hidden behind every English word, a whole new world
of order and meaning unfolds.
