Chapter 3
In Quest Of the Past
Back to the Holy Grail and Language
As noted by Fulcanelli, when one begins to study the subject with an eye for
subtle “clues”, one begins to understand that the very words chosen in the
numerous tales are designed to either lead to, or away from, the central issue. In
other words, not only are the incidents clues in themselves, but the very names are
as well. They are installed as helpers or hindrances! Sometimes this may even be a
function of the individual reading the clue, as we now understand from our little
study of ligands. An individual who is “jumping to assumptions”, or who has
accepted as truth things which are not, in fact, true — and may have done so
habitually — has a reduced ability for discernment. The individual who has taken
great care, who has been patient and thorough and cautious, may be led to a proper
understanding by the very same clue that leads another on a wild goose chase! The
clues are in the languages and the words, but hidden like little genes coiled up in
DNA, waiting for the right ligand or charge of electricity to enable them to uncoil
and make themselves known. And this brings us to the fact that there seems to be a
deep connection between language and DNA. Abraham Abehsera writes in his
Babel: The Language of the 21st Century:
Matter, Life and Language are three instances where infinite wealth has been
achieved with very little. The variety of matter is the product of the combinations of
about twenty-six atoms. The innumerable life forms of our planet stem from the
permutations of only twenty amino acids. Third and last, the millions of words that
make up human language are nothing but the combinations of about twenty
consonants modified by some five vowels.
In the past fifty years, man has made considerable progress in discovering and
deciphering the physical and genetic forces that organize inert and organic matter.
No comparable advances have been made in the field of language. Why did
English-speaking people use the letters L and V to express their LoVe? (and LiVe)
What compelled them to designate the opposite feeling by inverting the same two
root-letters to form ViLe? (and eViL) Finally why were totally different letters used
to express these feelings in the six thousand other languages the earth has known?
Our thoughts and our words are thus made of chains of letters, the logic of which
escapes us totally.
Man, the author of speech, is himself made of chains of molecules and proteins the
laws of which are well known to us. We may well suppose a strict continuity
between these biological rules and those that organize his highest faculty, language.
