Akhenaten's Thirteenth Vision
(The arbitrariness of Language)

Verily, verily I say unto you, that it came to pas that man should wonder after the State of their awareness. For, in the course of their wanderings, they were plagued with the lack of rigidness of their symbols, of their symbols definitions,and of their security with their drama.

And, it came to pass that man, in residence of their graves, lusted after the wonderment of creation, of communication, and of script. Hear, therefore, the nature of the illusion called communication.

When man, the new creation, awakened upon the face of the Earth in their coats-of-skin, it was discovered that they could no longer divine the thoughts of their brothers, nor could they return to the state from whence they came. the process of reincarnation was, indeed, absolute. The force that was evoked to create and maintain their 'reality' also kept them prisoner within that 'reality'. Lo and Behold, they were, indeed, found to be unique--each to the last experience.

With the passage of time, man, both the male and the female, did discover language--a system of symbols with which to transfer their thoughts.

However, it was discovered that not all symbols could be understood by all of man. And, as man, both the male and the female, separated across the land of their birth, so too, did their symbols until there came to be among them a great house of Babble.

With the advent of time, those who were more learned from among them became wise. They did discover that there are Geometrics. And, with their ciphers, they did discover that all things were relative, in that they had to be thought of in terms of the symbols of their language. And, language, itself, was, as were all the symbols within language, extremely arbitrary.

Ponder, if you will, the nature of the symbol called 'circle'. Is there not 360 degree arc in its construction? Which of these is to be labeled with the symbol '0' degree? Is it not as arbitrary as is the symbol for the circle or the sphere?

Make not your thoughts as rigid as is the tablet upon which your script appears. Ponder, therefore, all aspects of a nature. Limit not yourself, nor the thoughts of others, unto the love of your own words. The words, the thoughts, and the script of others, though not of your tribe may be different, but they have equal validity in the grave. Pattern your thoughts and its process as is the pattern of language by remembering that all is, in its own nature, arbitrary.
