You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.
As you can see by the date of this blog post, it's been a while since I wrote the post: Humanity's Reification Redemption Challenge As I continue my efforts to understand the historical nature of the perceptual wisdom of realized being, and the personal meaning of the word Christ. How its "anointed one" meaning applies to the biologically anointed mind of the biologically conceived creatures, named human. And our species-specific preference for unwittingly valuing the nature of language above and beyond the nature of reality. And thereby burying God, as the reality of creation, with our the reality-labeling words of our conditioned mind's, matrix of allusions.
So this personal blog post is essentially about humanity's linguistically confused sense of reality, and resurrecting God, aka the reality of creation, and understanding the simple truth about human languages, cryptically described in the Bible. After so many years of exploring the implicit—suggested but not directly stated—meanings of a Biblical treatise on the human condition. Or how the first book and the last book of the Christian Bible, disguise a simple truth about our human perceptions of reality. That is inherent in the tree of knowledge we all call language. As I write the preface of a book about the Jesus story's spiritual diagnosis of humanity, and the personal nature of spiritual self diagnosis and realized being.
While this blog post comes after writing a post on Substack.com that has seen my account suspended for what was first deemed a spamming offence, and then a content rules offence. With no subsequent explanation, despite my request, of what I assume was a large language model, computer based AI decision. And that post is essentially about trying to understand the existentially confusing relationship between the recursive nature of language and the nature of reality.
Especially the simple truth that the recursive nature of language makes us all feel like we are more conscious of reality, than we actually are. As the subconsciously orchestrated nature of our every behavior, sees us fail to notice the way we simultaneously describe and disguise reality, with reality-labeling words. A simple truth you can attest to, by looking at your hands and asking yourself "how" is the word hands, making me consciously aware of the reality of my hands? As you are looking at the surface-level reality of your hands, being received by the biological reality of your eyes. Those biological organs of consciousness, of the biologically conceived creature that you are. As you find yourself performing a spiritual self-diagnosis, of your own reality.
Because you were simultaneously breathing as you asked yourself this question about the relationship between the recursive nature language and your own reality. Performing a spiritual self-diagnosis, even if you are unaware that the root meaning of the words; spirit, spiritual, and spirituality, is Breath. While in the context of the simple truths that lead us towards realized being, please consider and contemplate:
(At their core, the words spirit, spiritual, and spirituality all trace their etymological roots back to the physical act of breathing.
Spirit: Originates from the Latin noun spiritus. Its literal root meaning is "a breathing," "breath," or "the breath of life". It is derived from the Latin verb spirare, which simply means "to breathe".
Spiritual: Derived from the Latin adjective spiritualis, which was built upon the word spiritus. In its original historical context (particularly in early Christian writings translating the Greek pneuma and Hebrew ruach for breath/spirit), it meant "of or concerning the spirit". Originally, it was meant to contrast with "flesh"—describing a person or thing animated or influenced
by divine breath.
Spirituality: Comes from the Late Latin noun spiritualitas (via French), also rooted in spirare. Historically, it referred to a state of living oriented toward the divine spirit, but it has since evolved in modern usage to encompass an individual's personal quest for meaning, inner life, and connection to something larger than themselves.
Throughout ancient languages—including Greek and Hebrew—the concepts of wind, breath, and the unseen driving force of life were deeply intertwined.) A Google AI Overview
