Section  1   –   Evidence  and  Research

 

       Research on  the universal verbal  language  considers  the  theory  that  there  are  universal  associations  and  universally  known  meanings  of  sounds used  in verbal languages.   One  of  the  postulated  associations  is  that certain speech  sounds, identified by linguists  as  voiced  fricatives, are  the  phonetic symbols of, or representations  for collective  social  acceptance,   approval,   or  collective toleration of  unprovoked,  impulsive  violence  in  a  culture or collective  consciousness   –  both in relations between  individuals  within the group, and  in  the  collective  attitude  of  the  group  toward  other  groups.        

       Voiced fricatives are  consonants  like   “ v ” ,   “ z  ” ,    “ th ”  in  “ them ”,   the  sound  of   “ s ”  in  the word  “ usual ”  or   the  “ z ”   in  the word  “ azure ”,   a  consonant  symbolized  in  the  International  Phonetic  Alphabet  as  “ ”  ,  and  “ j ”,  a  consonant considered by  linguists  to  be a  combination of  “ d  ”  and  “ ”.    They’re  made  by vibration  of  the vocal  chords  ( that is ,  voiced )  and  friction ( fricative ) between  speech  organs  such as  lips ,  teeth ,  tongue,  or  some  other  speech  organ .     For  instance,  lips  and  teeth  are  used   to  make   “  v  ”.   There  are  several other voiced fricatives  in the International Phonetic Alphabet  that  do not  occur  in  English.

       The  theory  does  not  say,   and  should  not  be  considered to mean  that   the relationship  is  an  imperative  among  humans.    The theory only postulates  that  a  social  and  conscious   environment  is  created  that  facilitates,  or  contributes  to  a  culture  in  which  unprovoked,  impulsive violence  is  considered  to  be  approved ,  expected ,  or  an  unavoidable  and  unalterable   part of  human  nature  that  has  to  be  tolerated  in  that  group or  collective .

       In  general ,  among  humans ,   intentional  training  from  parents  or  providers ,  and  the  example  set  by  parents  or  providers  virtually  always  supercedes   the   influence  on  the  individual  of  the   sounds  that  are  used  in  a  language . 

   I  believe   that  there are  unconscious  framework  structures   in  the  consciousness  of  all  normal  humans ,   frameworks  that  form  the  organizing  structures   within   which  humans  learn  the  language  of  their  parents  or  care-givers.     First,   though,  I’m going  to  describe  a  real instance  in  which  understanding  the  universal  language  provided  a  means  of  communication  of  a state of mind  when   no  communication  was  possible  in  English ,  or  any  previously  known  language .    It  involved  a  boy – about a year old –   who  was   too  young  to  know  or  speak  English .      The  boy’s  father was pushing   him  around a  supermarket  in  a  shopping  cart ,  pretending  to ignore him,  and  pretending  that  the  boy  was  too  young  to  understand  language,  or   know what  he was saying when he verbalized sounds.    The  boy  was,  to  most  observers,  babbling  in an  ordinary  voice,  but  he  was  repeating  the same  sounds  –  one syllable  ( a non-English word )  –  over and over  again :

“ dtha ”,  “ dtha ”,   “ dtha ”,  “ dtha ”,  “ dtha ”, “ dtha ” ( with “ th ” as in  “ those ”, and  “ a ” as  in  “ ah ” ).

      According  to  the  postulated  universal  language  associations,  two  of   the relations  that  are instinctively  known to all  humans  and  all  infants are   “ d ”   and  “ th ” as in “ those ” .    According  to  the  relationships  postulated  in  this  work,   the universal  language  meaning of   “ d ”  is  awe,  wonder, or  subordination ,    and  the universal  language meaning   of   “ th ”   is  the  anger  of  god,  the  anger  of  the infinite consciousness .

       Because  I   knew  the  universal  language  meaning  of  the  consonants,  I  understood   what  the  child  was  saying  and  I  could  reconstruct  what  had  happened .     The  father  had  obviously expressed  pre-emptive  anger at  the child in the  parking  lot  before  they  went  into  the  store.    The father had  threatened  the boy  using  the anger of  god  directed  at  the  boy,  and  said something  like   “We’re going into the store now,  and I don’t want you  acting up in there.   I  don’t want  you  causing  any trouble in there.”    The verbal  admonishment  undoubtedly  lasted  longer  than  that, but  that  is  the idea .     The child obviously didn’t  understand  the  specific  words  his  father  had  used ,  but  he  understood  the tone  of  his  father’s  voice  –  he  understood  the  anger  and  the  threat   –   and  he was  going  to  announce what  his  father  had  done  –  accusing  him  of  something  he  hadn’t  done   –   to  anyone  who  could  understand  the  meaning  of  the  word  he  was  repeating  over  and  over  in  the  language  he instinctively   knew   –   the  universal  language.

       The   two papers on  universal language research,  the  papers on  the theory  of  linguistic derivation    ( other sections  of  this site )   describe  some  research  and  the evidence that has been  gathered  so  far  on  the  existence  of  universal  language  associations  between  voiced  fricative  consonants,  and  collective, social approval or  toleration  of  unprovoked  violence .   That  research  so far,  has,  according to the evaluations and classifications  used ,  and according to a measure called  2  or  chi2  ,  resulted   in  about  a  95%  probability  that there is  an association between  collective  approval or  toleration of  violence in  a  culture or language group,  and  the presence of  the  consonants considered ,   the voiced fricatives,  in  the language of  a group  ( see results  chart on the last  two  pages of  the study   –   “ Theory of linguistic derivation: continuing study ” ) .  

  The work  done so far  also  appears to gain  some  real  credibility   and significance  due to  the unconditional  and  monolithic  resistance  and  opposition, to date,  to  any  and all further  research  in  the  field  from   those  in  control  of  the  economic  resources  and  research  funds  in  this  country  –   the academic and economic  establishment.      In spite of the fact that a  15%  sample of all languages has already been drawn to test the theory,  from a list of all  of the  approximately five thousand known languages on this planet,  the  academic  establishment  in  this  country  has ,  to  date,  unconditionally opposed  and  effectively   prevented  any  further  research  in  the  field  –  research  that  could  prove  the  theory  one way or the other .  

If  the  hypothesis  is  correct ,  it  would  establish  that  it is very  probable  that  there  is  a  universal  verbal  language  and  that  there  are  universal  associations  between  the  sounds  used  in  a  language  and  some of  the  characteristics  and  attitudes  of   the  culture  and  the  collective  consciousness  that  uses  the  consonants .

       There is at least one other study  that supports the idea  that there could be universal associations between  language sounds  and specific meanings.  Edward Sapir, an early linguist, did  a  study  in  1929 ( “ A Study in Phonetic Symbolism ”, Journal of Experimental Psychology, Vol. 12, 1929, P. 225-239 ) that  considered  whether  there are  universal  associations  between  some  language  sounds  and   the  meanings  individuals   imagined  were  associated  with  those  sounds .    He  found   that  in  the  case  of  some  consonants ,  and  at  least  two vowels  -  short  “ i ”  and  long “ o ” -  English and Chinese speaking experimental  subjects  consistently  attributed  larger  size  to  nonsense  words  that  had  a  long “o”  between  two  consonants   and   smaller  size to  nonsense  words  that  had  a short  “ i ”  between  two  consonants .       Sapir  concluded  that  some  consonants  and  vowels  “ sound  bigger ”  than  others.    The  work  suggested  that  some  language  sounds   may   have   meanings  or  associations   that  are universal   to  all  or  most  people .     

       The theory  postulates  that  the universal  language  meaning of  voiced  fricatives  and other sounds used in languages  are  instinctively  known  to  all  humans from birth , and  that,  effectively ,  infants  living  in  groups  that  use  voiced  fricatives  are  taught  by their  parents,  providers,  and  other  participants  in  the  language  that  unprovoked  violence  is  natural,  unavoidable,  and  approved  by  the  group,  or  is  a  form  of   behavior  that  has  to  be  tolerated  by  those  who  want  to  participate  in  the  group.
     There  is  also  some  evidence  from the behavior of other animals  that indicates that   it is possible that   some  sounds  could  act  as  cues,  or  triggers  that encourage  people  to   approve  of  unprovoked  violence ,  or  to  believe  that   unprovoked  violence  is  acceptable,  or  something  that  has  to  be  tolerated .
     Nikolaas  Tinbergen  did  a  great  deal  of  research  on  the behavior  of  stickleback  minnows .   During  the mating  season,  male  stickleback  minnows  stake out  a  territory  and  the  lower half  of  their  bodies  turns  from  white  to  bright  red.     During  that  time ,  they  will  usually attack  objects    that  enter  their  territory  if  the  object  is  red  on  the  lower  half .    Ordinarily,  during that time,  they  will  not  attack  an  object  as  frequently  –  from  an elliptical form,  to  a  model  that  looks  nearly  exactly  like  a  stickleback  minnow   –   if  the  object  is  not  red  on the lower half .
     In  other  words,  if  the  model was  turned  upside  down,  with  the  red  side on top ,  the  male  would  seldom  attack  it.  So  the  triggering  cue  for  a  male  minnow  defending  a  territory  is  red, lower  half  –  attack .   ( N.  Tinbergen,   "Social Releasers..."   Wilson Bulletin, 1948 ,  Vol. 60 # 1,   P. 6 - 52 )  

  

        Other researchers have  found  that  some   behavior patterns  of   stickleback   minnows ,  such  as   nest  construction  and  the  zig-zag  courtship  pattern  or  dance  of  the  minnows,  are  instinctive  and  are  known  to ,  and  accurately  performed  by  minnows  raised  in complete  isolation  from  any   minnows that performed the behavior patterns .    In other words, some forms  of behavior,  and some  cues  that trigger specific aggressive actions are instinctively known in some animals.

              

        As  I  said,  among  humans ,  these sounds,  the voiced fricatives,  are postulated to act as symbolic  triggers  or  cues  that  encourage  and promote attitude formation in  individuals;  they encourage participants in a  group  to accept,  approve of,  or  tolerate  unprovoked  violence.    They  should not be considered to be, or  to act  as  imperatives  that  trigger  violent behavior,  as  the cues for  violent  action  in stickleback  minnows  approximate.
   

   

Section   2    –
 

Unconscious  Frameworks  in  Your  Consciousness



  

       The  theory  postulates  that  there is a universal language instinctively known to all normal humans from birth;   that  the  universal  language  meanings  of  all  language sounds,  rhythms,  forms  of  word  structure,  and  all  grammatical  structures  are  instinctively  known  to  all  normal  human  infants,  and  are  understandable  to  infants  from  the  time  they  are  able  to  discriminate  sounds  used  by  their  parents  or  care-givers  to communicate  with  each  other.  

       Before  going on to the framework structures,   there are several ideas and concepts  that have to be introduced.  Most of them  were used by  Benjamin  Whorf,  a self–taught  linguist  (1897 – 1941) whose work is,  and was,  associated with Edward Sapir.     Whorf  used some  ideas and  perspectives that can be helpful  in understanding the influence of language and culture on  consciousness.    Before considering  Whorf’s ideas,  though,  a  caution  should  be  stated.    Whorf  was  an  ethno-centric  individual  who served  the  interests  of  Western  culture  above  the  interests  of  the  human  community.    He  used  the  term  “ savages ”  to  describe  all  native  American  groups.     His  thought  processes  and  ability  to  use  and  integrate  the  information  he  gathered  to  serve  the interests  of  the  human  community  were  severely  limited  by  his  unquestioning  allegiance  to  American popular prejudices;  and his  dependence  on  American  economic structures,  and on  American  and  Western  collective  consciousness.      In  other  words,  he  was  severely  limited  by  his  loyalty  to and economic dependence on the American  collective  consciousness  above  responsibility  to  the  collective  consciousness  of  the human  community.   

       Whorf  did  a  great  deal  of  research   in   the  20’s  and  30’s  on  several  languages,  some  of  which  were  very  different  from  western  languages.    His  research  on  Hopi,  Shawnee,  Sanskrit,  Hebrew,  Aztec,  and  other  languages,  led  him  to  understand  that:
    “ . . . the  forms  of  a  person’s  thoughts  are  controlled  by  inexorable  laws  of  pattern  of  which  he  is  unconscious .     These  patterns  are  the  unperceived  intricate  systematizations  [ ordering  structures ]  of  his  own  language  –  shown  readily  enough  by  candid  comparison  and  contrast  with  other  languages,  especially  those  of  a  different  linguistic  family.    His  thinking  itself  is  in  a  language,  in  English,  in  Sanskrit, in  Chinese.     And  every  language  is  a  vast  pattern  system,  different  from  others,  in which  are  culturally  ordained  the  forms  and  categories  by  which  the  personality  not  only  communicates,  but  also  analyzes  nature,  notices,  and  neglects  types  of  relationship  and  phenomena,  channels  his reasoning  and  builds  the  house  of  his  consciousness . ”
(Benjamin Whorf, Language, Thought, and Reality: Selected Writings of Benjamin Lee Whorf , P. 252)

       According  to  John  Carroll (editor of Language,  Thought,  and  Reality) ,   Whorf  also  believed (P. 25)  that    “ . . . there  may  be  inherent  relations  ( over  and  above  the  arbitrary  relations  established  in  any  given  language )  between  sounds  and  meanings . ”  

       Another  concept  used   by  Whorf  is the  observation  that  every  group  and  language incorporates  an   “ unspoken  philosophy ” ,  or  a  collective  consciousness.    The  collective  consciousness  of  a  group  can  be  considered  in  two  parts.    The first  part could  be roughly defined  as  the  collectively  held  or  assumed,  and  linguistically  expressed  system  for  organizing  reality,  and  imposing  an  ordering  structure  on  the  universe   –   the  segmentation  of  reality  imposed  by  the  group  on  the  universe  and  expressed  through  the  language .    This is the  ordering  structure   that  the  group  considers  to  be  self-evident,  obvious,  and  natural ( such as logic and reason in Western cultures ).  

       Second,   the  collective  consciousness  is  an  embodiment  of  the  norms,  values,  attitudes,  ideals,  aspirations,  and  the  assumptions  about  human  nature  that  are  communally  accepted,  assumed  by the group,  or  considered  by  the  group  to  be  worthy  of  emulation.

     Whorf  introduced ( to Western cultures)  an ordering structure for the universe that is very different  from  the Western segmentation of reality in an essay that compared  western  languages  and  cultures  to  the  language,  culture, and  collective  perspective  of  the  Hopi  of Arizona  ( “ An American Indian Model of the Universe ”,  from   Language, Thought, and Reality ) .

       Whorf  observed  that  Western  cultures  impose  two  broad  organizational  forms  on  the  universe  and  on  physical  and  material  reality :   time  and  space  -   in  normal  reality (at less than the speed of light ),  with  space  as  a  three  dimensional  quantity,  and  time  as  a  one-dimensional  linear  quantity  starting  with  the  past,  moving  through  the  present  and   into  the future.

       The  Hopi,  on the other  hand,  use  a language  that, according  to Whorf,  includes  no  implicit  or  explicit  reference  to  time  at  all .   

        According  to  Whorf ’s  work,  the  Hopi  language  and  collective  consciousness  divides  the universe  into  two  broad  realms :   manifest  or  objectively  observable   reality  -  past and present   -    and the world of the   subjective,  unmanifest ,  or  manifesting.     The  Hopi  word  for  subjective  reality  is  tunαtya  which  also  means  the realm  of  hope  or  hoping .

       In  the  Hopi  language  and  collective  consciousness,  the  realm  of  tunαtya  is,  to  quote  Whorf,  “ . . . the  realm  of  desire and  expectancy,  the  world  of  causes  and  purpose,  the realm  of  thought  thinking  itself  out  from an  inner  realm  ( the  Hopian  heart )  into  manifestation . "
       Comparing  the  two  systems  and organizing  structures,  again,  one  system  considers  time  as  a linear  quantity,  starting  with  the  past,  flowing  through  a  continuously  moving  present,  and  into the  future .    The  other  system  views  and  conceptualizes  time  and  reality  as  beginning  in  what  we   ( Western  cultures )  call  the  future,  and  the  Hopi  call  tunαtya ,  “…the  world of   causes,  purpose ,  and  hope …”,  and  ending  in  what  we  call  the  present  and  past,  or observable  reality,  and  what  the Hopi  describe  as  “ hoping  comes  true. ”
    This   is  the  reality  and  perspective  of  the  infinite  consciousness,  or  god .    And  this  is  the  real  contribution  of the  Hopi  group  to  the  human  community   –   preservation  of a perspective  –  the perspective  of the infinite consciousness  or  god   –   from  which  it  is  possible  to  examine  and  consider  your own  consciousness  before  you learned  any  language  and  before  you  developed  long-term  memory   –   a  perspective  from  which  it  is  possible to consider comparing the languages  and  the collective consciousnesses of different language groups and  determining whether there  are  universal  associations  between  the  sounds  used  in  communication systems  and  the  collective  consciousness  and  characteristics  of  a  linguistic group.   

        

       Again,  the  theory postulates  that  there is a universal language instinctively known to all normal humans from birth;  that the  universal  language  meanings  of  all  language sounds,  rhythms,  forms  of  word  structure,  and  all  grammatical  structures  are  instinctively  known  to  all   normal  human  infants  and  are  understandable  to  infants  from  the  time  they  are  able  to  discriminate  sounds  used  by  their  parents  or  care-givers  to  communicate  with  each  other.

       The theory on universal language, again,  postulates that  the voiced fricatives  are phonetic symbols that represent social approval or social toleration of unprovoked violence in a culture or collective consciousness.     The hypothesis postulates that, in human cultures,  the  hearing  and  use  of  voiced  fricatives  act  and operate as cues or symbols  that  encourage  individuals  and  infants  to  identify  themselves  with  the  attitude  of  the  group  and  the  collective  consciousness  –  the  attitude  that  unprovoked  violence  is  approved,  accepted,  or  a  form  of  behavior  that  has  to  be  tolerated  in  that  group  because  it  is  natural  and  inevitable .
     When  an  infant  gains  the  ability  to   discriminate  the  language  sounds  used  by  its  parents or  providers, it says  to itself  :
     Those  are  the  sounds  my  parents,  or  care-givers,    or  those big  ones,  are  using  to  communicate  with  each  other.    I  know  what  those  sounds  mean  in the  universal  language,  but  I  don’t know  what  they  mean  to  them,   my  parents   –   in  the  language  they’re  using  to  communicate .
     I’m  going to have  to  use  the  sounds  they  use,  and  I’m  supposed  to  accept  or  agree  with  the  attitudes  and  perspectives  that  those  sounds  mean  in  the  universal  language,  because  it  looks  like  the  group  that  my  parents  are  a  part  of  likes  or  approves  of  the universal  language  meanings  of  those  sounds  and  structures .
     In English-speaking cultures,  in relation to the sounds considered in the research, the   infant says  to  itself  :
     “  my   parents   are   using    “ z ” ,    “ v ” ,    “ th ” ,   and   “ j ”    sounds ,   so   they   approve   of,   or   they   tolerate   violence   in   their   culture,    or   the   group   that   they’re   part   of   –   that   is,   the   group   or   collective   consciousness   my   parents   are   a   part   of   –   approves   of,   or   tolerates   violence
     if   I   want   to   communicate   with   them   I’m   going   to   have   to   learn   the   language   they   use,   and   use   the   sounds   they   use
     they   –   the  parents  or  care-givers    –    provide   for   all   my   needs   –   they   take   care   of  me   so   I   guess   I   should   go  along with  this   communication   system   thing   and   learn   the   language   they’re   using ,    so   I   can   communicate   with   them   so   they   can   know   what   I   want   and   I   can   know   or   learn   what   they   want   from   me   and   I   can   learn   what   this   reality   thing   that’s   going   on   around   me   is   all   about . ”  

    This  knowledge,  then,  of  the  universal  language  meanings  of  the  sounds,   the word forms, and the grammatical structures  the  parents  use  to  communicate  becomes  part of  the  framework,  the  structure  that  imposes  order,  meaning ,  and  relevance  on   observable  reality for the infant.    The  knowledge of the universal language meanings of the sounds and other language structures  becomes  part, or most, of  the framework within which  the  infant  learns  the  language  or  communication  system of  its parents or care-givers.  


       This  knowledge  and  understanding  of  the universal language meanings of the sounds and language structures its parents use to communicate  develops  into neuron connections in the brain of the infant  before it learns the meanings of the words its parents use to communicate.    This knowledge of the universal language meanings of the sounds and language  structures used by its parents or care-givers  also  becomes  part  of  its link  to,  or,  as it is commonly described, interface with,  the  infinite  consciousness  or   god .


        Consideration and examination  of these universal language structures in the brain,  and in consciousness,  by grown individuals  from a scientific perspective,  has to be,  and can only  be constructed  as abstract thoughts or hypotheses.    Abstract  thoughts  can  normally  only  be  communicated  to  others  using  the  communication  system  of  the  collective  consciousness  in  which  the  being  exists  –   the  communication  system  of  a human,  or terrestrial   language .

  

        To review , the  associations between the universal  language  meanings of the sounds an infant’s parents  use to  communicate, and the  attitudes  the infant is taught  or encouraged  to  accept or adopt   are normally hard-wired as synaptic connections between neurons in the brain by the time the infant  begins to limit its babbling and vocabulary only to the sounds  used by the parents,  which normally occurs at about 18 months.    The knowledge of the infant's understanding of the universal language meanings of the sounds the parents use to communicate normally becomes a part of the infant's consciousness before the infant develops long-term memory, which usually occurs at about age two.     Normally, knowledge of the universal language meanings of those sounds is simultaneously consciously and physically internalized in the form of synaptic connections between neurons as the babbling and vocabulary of the infant evolves toward limitation to the sounds used by the parents  -  before the infant  develops long–term memory.   

  

        Knowledge  of the creation, existence, and  formation  of  the universal language  framework  for ordering perceptions  and reality usually cannot be remembered because  the  associations  and  neuron connections  were  formed  before  the  infant  developed  long-term  memory .


       The theory suggests that the collective will ( the collective ambitions of the group in relation to the human community ), as well as the values, attitudes, and organizing system for reality of the group, are expressed and transmitted through the universal language meanings of the sounds, syntax, grammatical system, and other structures of the language of the group.    The theory further suggests that the collective will, values, attitudes, and organizing system ( for reality ) of the group are incorporated into consciousness in synaptic connections as the individual learns to communicate in the language of the group, and before the individual develops long-term memory  -  which is the reason that most groups assume that the attitudes, values, assumptions about human nature, and organizing structure for the universe  of their group  are the only obvious, reasonable, and self-evident ones that could exist.   

             The  existence  of  these frameworks  cannot  usually  be  seen,  observed,  or  considered  by  the  individual  because,  in  most  cases,   conscious  awareness  of  the  process  of  construction  of  abstract,  analytical  thoughts ,  occurs  only  after  those  thoughts  have  been  converted  into  and  constructed  in  a  terrestrial  language   -   a  communally  accepted  communication  system   –  until  they  are  constructed  in  a  form  that can be communicated to others  –  the form of a  spoken  –  or  terrestrial  -  language .        Conscious awareness of  abstract thoughts usually occurs  only  after those thoughts have been filtered  through the universal language framework structures,  the rules of word structure and  grammar of the language, and  formulated  in the language of  the group in which the individual exists.

       In an essay referred to earlier,  Benjamin  Whorf said that ,  “. . . thinking  itself  is  in  a  language . . .”    What  I think he may have  meant  was  -  conscious awareness of  thinking, or consciousness awareness of  the construction of a thought,  normally  comes about  only after a  thought has been interpreted and  translated  into the structure  of  a  terrestrial language.

     The research on universal verbal language will probably continue to  support  the  idea  that the  thought  process  for  construction  of  abstract  or analytical  thoughts  begins  well  before   a  thought  becomes  consciously  known  to an  individual, and  that  by  the  time  an  abstract  thought  is  known  to  an  individual,  it  has  already  been through considerable  organizing  framework  structures  that  converted  the  thought  into  the  terrestrial  language  of  the  group  in  which  the  individual exists .    Again, ordinarily,  these  framework  structures  cannot  be examined  or  observed  because  they  were created and exist  in  a  reality  that  existed long before the individual developed  long-term memory ,  and  are  part  of  the  structure  and  mechanism  that  the individual uses to construct abstract thoughts in the first  place.

It  is  the combination  of all of  these  identical  framework  structures,   constructed from knowledge of the universal language meanings of  the sounds and grammatical structures of the language the group uses to communicate,  buried in their consciousness and neuron connections before they learned a  ( terrestrial ) language,  that  comprises  the collective   unconscious   of  a  group .     Those framework structures,  along  with  the  consciously  known  and  espoused  attitudes,  values,  ideals, aspirations,  and  norms  of  the  group,   comprise  the  collective   consciousness  of  a group .  

It’s useful here to return to the Hopi  world-view  and conceptualization of reality.     In  the  Hopi  language  and  collective  consciousness,  the realm  of  tunαtya  is  the world  of  the  future,  the  subjective  world,  the  world  of   purpose  and  causes,  the  world of  “  thoughts  thinking  themselves   into  manifestation   or  reality       This, once again,  is  the perspective of  god ,  the perspective  of  the  infinite  consciousness  and  the  perspective from  which  it is  possible  to   observe  the  operation  of  these  frameworks  at  work  in  your  own consciousness .

In the Hopi  thought  system,  these  framework  structures  for  construction of  thoughts  are  conceived  as  existing  in  the  future,   in  the world of tunαtya ,  in  the  subjective  world  of  consciousness  and  “ thoughts thinking  themselves into awareness,  manifestation,  or  reality ”,  in the world  that  can  be  altered  and  changed  by human  actions  in  present  and  observable  reality .  

The  Hopi  group  conceives  of  these  processes  as  theoretically  accessible,   so  if  that  perspective is assumed  or  adopted by  an  individual,  it  is  possible to examine  these structures  in the  individual’s  own  consciousness.    That  perspective  is, again,  the  perspective  of  the  infinite  consciousness  or  god.

In  Western  thought  systems,   the  universal language  frameworks  for organizing reality and perceptions  are  associated  with  the  past  in  their  own  consciousness,  not only because the frameworks were constructed in their consciousness  before  they developed long-term memory,  but  because  thoughts  are  structured  and  organized  through  the frameworks  before  they  become  conscious ,  so  Westerners  are  taught  by  their  thought  system  to believe or accept  that  the  structures  exist  only  in  the  past.   

People  can  see  that  the  observable  past   is  unalterable   and  unchangeable.  In  western  cultures  people  are  taught  that  the  world  operates  on  the  basis  of  logic  and  reason,  and  they  can  see  that  there  is  nothing   they  can  do  about  the  observable  past,  so  they  are  taught  by  logic  and  reason  that  there  is  nothing  that  they can  do  about  these  framework structures that  exist  in  the  past  in  their development and in their  thought  processes. 

This is the means through which the collective consciousness in Western language groups is able to discourage and convince most participants in those groups  that it would be useless to try to see or observe these framework structures  -  through  which the collective consciousness operates  -  in their consciousness,  because,  according  to the  Western thought system, the frameworks  exist  in the  unalterable past.   This is the means by which the collective consciousness in Western cultures is,  in most individuals,  able to discourage them from believing  that they can see and observe these structures in their consciousness,  and by destroying or suppressing the  belief that they can detect the  structures in their own consciousness,  is able to destroy or suppress the belief of most participants that they, along with others in the group, have the ability to observe, deal with, direct, and   change   the collective consciousness toward serving  the consciously known  and espoused  goals, values, ideals, and aspirations of  the group.

 

 

Section   3   -  Function  and Operation  of  the  Collective  Consciousness


 
        As I said , it  is  the combination  of  these  identical  universal language  framework  structures in synaptic connections in the participants in a group,  constructed from knowledge of  the universal language meanings of  the sounds and structures used in the language of the group,  that  forms  the collective  unconscious  of  a  group .    Again, the collective unconscious,  along  with  all  the  consciously   known  and  espoused  attitudes,  values, aspirations, and  norms of  the  group,  comprises  the  collective  consciousness  of  a group.

     When a  language becomes established as the communication system of a group,   with an accepted sound system,  rules of word structure and grammatical structure, along with the unconscious  frameworks that those structures create in speakers of a language,   the  collective  consciousness  takes  on  a life  of  its  own  -  it becomes  a  REAL ,  independent,  and,   effectively,  autonomous consciousness of its own, created by the group,  or  a  dominant  consciousness in the group, to serve the interests of the group.    The collective consciousness of a group is not only an amorphous, abstract concept; it is represented in material and social reality by the structures created by those with a vested interest in preserving their own dominance and control in the group:  those who benefit most from the existing military, political, and economic structures of the group.    Those in dominant, or controlling positions in a group have a vested interest in preserving both the unconscious framework structures that exist as synaptic connections in the consciousness of most participants in the group,  and a vested interest in maintaining the military, political, and economic structures of the group that provide them with an advantaged military and economic position in the group.

    When a language becomes established as a formalized communication system, the collective consciousness created from it becomes the collective manifestation  of  the group,  and to the group,  of  their wish  and intent to serve their own interests.   It is the vehicle and the system that provides them with the communication system that allows them  to  organize and act together to serve their own interests and achieve  the  goals  they want, whatever they may be.     It becomes the  collective ego of the group,  the collective representation for the group, and to the group,  of  their  own  belief that they and their group are better than all other linguistic groups or  koms  on the planet.    (  Kom  is a new word  [not in English dictionaries] ,  created from universal language meanings of  sounds  -  it is  a  group that consists of a writing system, and all  the spoken languages that use that writing system -  i.e. -   the Latin kom,  the Cyrillic kom,  the Arabic kom   -   plural,  koms ) .  

The  collective consciousness  becomes the collective representation of what the group thinks god or the infinite consciousness should be.    It  also becomes the collective representative of  the group consciousness  -  the group wish to serve the infinite consciousness  -  to the infinite consciousness , becoming , effectively,   the collective interface  of  the group, and for  the  group, with  the  infinite consciousness or god.  

One of the highest priorities of the collective consciousness becomes  its own survival as an invisible, autonomous, and  independent consciousness,  so it can serve the interests of that linguistic group and collective consciousness freely and without restrictions or obstruction from the participants in the group, the beings it - the collective consciousness - wants to control and dominate  to serve its,  and  their  own interests,  above the interests of all other linguistic groups and collective consciousnesses   -   and,  in many ways,  to serve the interests of their group and collective  consciousness  above the interests of the collective consciousness of the human community .

      After a language is accepted by a group,  again,  the collective consciousness becomes a  REAL ,  independent,  and for  all  practical purposes,  autonomous  consciousness  of its  own  -  with a  life  of  its own, survival  instincts of  its  own,  and  an  identity of  its  own,  given life  by  the  individuals  with  the identical   universal   language  framework  structures  in  their consciousness,  who comprise  that  collective consciousness.    As the representative of the collective ego of the group, one of  its goals and  intents is to limit and confine the talents, abilities, thoughts, and imagination of participants in the group to the interests of  that group.    In order to accomplish that most effectively,  one of  the  highest priorities of  the collective consciousness is to preserve  its  own  existence as an invisible consciousness, to prevent individuals in the group from acting or operating against it,   their representation of their collective interests, and to preserve its ability  to operate as a free and independent consciousness that can encourage participants in the group to confine their thoughts and imagination  to the interests of the group, without being observed, noticed, or detected by the participants in the group.     It - the collective consciousness - wants to operate invisibly through the unconscious  framework structures  it creates and created in the consciousness of most participants in the group.    To that end, one of the highest priorities of  virtually all collective consciousnesses on this planet is  to  prevent  research    on collective consciousnesses   and  the  structures  they  use to dominate  and control  the  thoughts  and  imagination  of  participants  in  linguistic groups  -  because the research  could  well reveal the unconscious framework structures through which they operate, and through which controlling groups maintain their dominance over other participants in a group.    That is one of the reasons  for the virtually monolithic opposition  of  the  academic  establishment  in  this  country   -   those  who  have  control  over   research  funds  -  to  further  research  in  this  area.

      If  you'd  like  to  help   to  reverse  the  opposition  of  the  academic   establishment  to  truth,  knowledge,  and understanding  in  the  moral  sciences,   click  here .

The infinite consciousness operates through the collective consciousness,   and  the efforts of all  the  beings who comprise that collective consciousness,  to emphasize and amplify  both the beneficial,  and  the  reprehensible  characteristics of  the individual identity on which that  collective consciousness  is based,  and with which the participants in that collective consciousness are encouraged to identify, in order to serve the interests of that group and collective consciousness.    As I said, the collective  consciousness frequently  embodies  values  and  attitudes  that  are  beneficial to the human community  and  represent  the best  that  humans  are  capable  of  -  such as,  in Western  cultures,  service  to technology,  the  natural sciences  and service to the physical and material well being of most participants in the group  -  along  with  detrimental characteristics  that  frequently  exemplify  some  of  the  worst  behavior  and  conduct  that  humans  are  capable  of,  such  as  the  racism  that  pervades  American  and  most  Western  cultures,  and  the  refusal  of  the  collective  consciousness  in  the United States to  accept  or  take  responsibility  for  the  well-being  of  all  participants  in  the culture .

When the collective consciousness comes into existence ,   it takes on a life of its own,  with goals,  intents,  wishes, and aspirations of its own;  goals and intents that are independent of any individual participants in the culture,  some of  which  may  be  very  different  from  what  most individual  participants  in  the culture assume,  imagine, or want to believe their culture or  group represents.     When it comes into existence, one of the  goals of the collective consciousness  becomes promotion of the values and attitudes associated with  the  unconscious universal language frameworks in the minds and consciousness  of members of  the group. 

To that end, the goals of  the American and Western collective consciousnesses include - as well as serving technology and  the physical and material interests of most participants in the culture   -    serving the wish of participants in the group  -  within an ordered structure  -   to  serve their own wish  to acquire  material  property,  without limits.    That is, one of the highest goals and wishes of the collective consciousness, as an independent consciousness,  is to serve and promote  the wish to acquire material posessions and hedonism in participants in the group.   Another of the highest goals of  the American collective consciousness, as an independent consciousness,  is to promote violence. 

 In spite of  a  group and collective  claim to oppose  unnecessary and aggressive violence, and a group claim to support and serve Christian values,  these two goals of  the collective consciousness of American and Western culture  -  promotion of unlimited greed, and  acceptance or toleration of violence  -  are united  in  exhibitions  of violence  -  “ boxing ”  -  and other forms of violence :   violence, and possible  murder ,  for  profit  and  entertainment  of participants in  the  group.    Two of  the highest goals of the collective consciousness are served  in one form of entertainment :   violence  for  profit .   

In one of his  essays,  Benjamin Whorf  said that a collective  consciousness usually  embodies  the  assumption  by the participants in a group  that  the  organization  and ordering structure  their group and language  imposes on the universe is  the only  obvious,  reasonable, and  self-evident  one  that  could  be  imposed.    The language, the collective consciousness of the group, and the unconscious framework structures in the consciousness of participants in the group, encourage participants to believe  that  their group represents the best consciousness and organizational structures  that humans are capable of . 

When territoriality is not a primary cause of hostility between these collective consciousnesses  -  nation-states  in political and military reality,   differences  between these collective consciousnesses  -  differences in contributions to the human community; differences in detrimental characteristics; and similar beliefs in most participants that the perspectives and unconscious framework structures of their collective consciousness are the only obvious, natural, reasonable, and morally justifiable ones that could exist  -  are major causes of conflict, antagonism, and war between  collective  consciousnesses.
 
      The  area  of  the  moral  sciences  involves  uncovering and understanding these universal language frameworks, and other structures in human consciousness, through which the collective consciousness operates to influence attitudes, perspectives, and behavior .
 
     Collective consciousnesses are one of the entities or channels through which the infinite consciousness represents itself to the human community.     They are vehicles or links the infinite consciousness uses to show the human community how to serve our own interests, and the examples the infinite consciousness uses to show the human community the magnitude of evil that groups of humans are capable of, if they refuse to follow and respect its way - that humans respect each other as equals, and treat others as the individual or group would want to be treated if they were in the other's place.
 
      Collective consciousnesses are tools the infinite consciousness uses to serve the interests of the human community and, through the animosity of each group against evil in the collective consciousness of other groups, to divide the human community against itself.
