The Inbetween World

We can never go there, yet we've already been.

I'm talking about untraceable and irreversible moments here.

We take 'em for granted.

Like, for example, how we type using letters, but we really don't even know what an "A" or a "X" really is (they're symbols, sure, but what for?) Yet, we know the song and can list all 26 alphabets in perfect order.

Writing? When did it actually stop being nasty squiggles on a page and become a word? What word was it?

Or like the moment we learned a language and came from "goo goo aba" to "mommy". What made you realise who "mommy" was? What did that acually mean when you said? Food and protection, sure, but it couldn't actually be love.

Could it?

How about when you learnt the value of money? Who told you it was valuable? What was it you wanted that made you realize you needed to give money to get it?

Going wee wee. Really, something felt wrong down there, but when did you actually KNOW what needed to be done? To make the feeling go away?

How about the moment you realised there was somethng wrong with looking strangers in the eye? Why d'you feel that way?

Don't mind me. Today, like other days, I realised my vocabulary is limited.

I have this problem that is common to aquas where I can't explain things. I can't teach, I can't communicate in a simple manner and I can't say how I feel.

So it got me thinking about all other stuff you read before this.

Who ARE you really but what you've been taught?

Yes, words don't really mean very much. It is the intent that matters.
There was a study that said you can place people who don't speak the same language together and very soon they will find out a way to communicate with each other.

"Who ARE you really but what you've been taught?"
You are much more than what you've been taught. There's another school of knowledge that says "everything you need to know is within you"
"experiences are not a new way of gaining knowledge but another way of unlocking them".

Something to do with memories.

Whether you may buy it or not, but what manifests in the flesh is not the true chronological age of man.

Okay that last line, I don't get.

To the others, I'm thinking that the "experiences...unlocking them" line has to do with need.

As in you have the tools, yet only become conscious of them when the moment they become necessary for use is before you.

But that doesn' explain (and I know this is beside your point), what motivates a child to actually call a woman "mommy" after speaking gibberish for so long.

It's as though one day they just decide to use the wrd after hearing the woman use it for so long.

In other words, we start out as apers and become more and more unique as we age and gain more experiences in life.

You know, like in movies how they have a character arc (where the character thinks and acts a certain way at the strt and then becomes another way (whether a good guy turning bad or vice versa) by the end of the film due to the good or bad (or both) experiences they go through) us human beings have millions of those full circle turns for our different ideaologies and stuff.

We just need to meet someone whose beliefs are different to ours before we actually discover what we truly believe in comaring ourselves to them.

Uh ... what were we talking about?

"But that doesn' explain (and I know this is beside your point), what motivates a child to actually call a woman "mommy" after speaking gibberish for so long."

It could be an assigned word through the ages, or a tonal form of speech that is very primal.
There are also language variations... not just the english language..

"It's as though one day they just decide to use the wrd after hearing the woman use it for so long. "

Language adaptability. People learn a language supposedly to enable them t express themselves more clearly. Are you asking the origins of language? It's just a symbol. Meanings are assigned to symbols, sometimes from nature itself.

"In other words, we start out as apers and become more and more unique as we age and gain more experiences in life."
You believe in evolution now? There are many camps on this. The ape theory is not compatible with the Jesus theory and so forth.


"You know, like in movies how they have a character arc (where the character thinks and acts a certain way at the strt and then becomes another way (whether a good guy turning bad or vice versa) by the end of the film due to the good or bad (or both) experiences they go through) us human beings have millions of those full circle turns for our different ideaologies and stuff."

There are different manifestations for this. When you say a good person turns bad, it could be a growing process for them
1. It could be permanent
2. Temporary

sometimes the baddie doesnt turn bad to a goodie.
sometimes a goodie never turns bad at all
its all in their personality.


"We just need to meet someone whose beliefs are different to ours before we actually discover what we truly believe in comaring ourselves to them."

Yes, if you're a seekr type.
Life is an illusion of sorts.
Those who dont seek are happy with their status quo
and that is their reality.

others seek and then get corrupted
and they never find their way back again.
But IMO its always good to have the freedom of choice to decide on the ultimate path to take
so the responsibility and thus empowerment is all theirs.

you sound like you're in the space between reality and dreamworld.

Sorry what i meant to convey from the last part
"Whether you may buy it or not, but what manifests in the flesh is not the true chronological age of man."

I meant that as a form of reincarnation. Souls are beyond time, that means they can span thousands of centuries (or even more, toward eternity), because time, apparently is only bound from earth. and the flesh as it ages is arbitrary - ie: from baby to adulthood, it's not the true age of the person, just the bodily vehicle. But only if you believe in reincarnation and not the scientific theory of evolution.
