2.5.3 expression of langauge, 1.5.3 biopsychology

Q: It has been said that there is a non-arbitrary relation, actually a one-to-one relation, between the sounds of Sanskrit and the subtle glands of the body. What is the relation between the sounds of Basque and the subtle glands of the body? How many correspondences are there? Are there any other languages spoken today that have this one-to-one relation, between at least some of their sounds and subtle glands of the body? If so, which? Finally, which languages families tend to have more correspondences, which less, and why?

Regarding Basque, I will say that there is a non-arbitrary relationship is there in 21 sounds or intonations. They are used most often in the chanting that was traditional. These intonations follow a particular pattern relevant to the origins of these people and their language.

Other languages also have some attributional aspects. For example, in Latin there are several intonations which, if done properly, will stimulate certain subtle resonances within the body. Within the Basque language there are resonances which intone the third and fourth chakras, and within the Latin the intonations which are attributional correspond to the fourth and the fifth chakras and are stimulating to those areas. That is why it is a language suited for prayer and incantation.

Now, in the Sanskrit there are fifty tonal frequencies that are attributional and stimulate the chakras if pronounced with precision. But none of these languages have a fully resonant tonal sequence, though they do have attributional elements. Within the Arabic family there are several languages which also have attributional elements. There is attributional quality in the ancient form of Arabic, in Yiddish, and many other languages, but it is very minimal. Primarily the sounds are slurred, not sufficiently precise or directional to elicit direct expression of the subtle body except when used in certain incantative rhythms which bring the feelings of spiritual presence.

Q: If it is true that there is a non-arbitrary relation between the sounds of a word in Sanskrit and the vibration of the object it denotes, does this mean that the vibration of the word for "banyan tree" in Sanskrit and the vibration of an actual banyan tree are the same, or at least correspond in a non-arbitrary way? If this correspondence is there, how did it come about? Is such a correspondence present in other languages?

It is not so simple. The correspondence is not directly to words but to intonation, so that if one pronounces for example the letter "ka", if it is said with the precise resonance, the precise intonation to express the frequency of that attribution, then it will be a tonal resonance in the manifest universe empowering or expressing the forces of creation. So you see, it is not the name "banyan tree", it is capturing the tonal quality, the full resonance of a particular vibratory frequency in the oral expression.

When this is done with great skill then that intonation becomes empowered and mantra is formed. Thus Sanskrit is a very good language for the development of mantrum, not only for spiritual sadhana but for other purposes as well, because there are many intonations in this language that directly express rays of manifestation imitated in the sounds of the letters. The basic sounds of the language - ka, ra, ma - these are incantations. Other languages may use these sounds also, and in those they also may produce these non-arbitrary directions of internal energies if they are properly incantated.

But it is not that the name "banyan tree" corresponds to some vibration of a banyan tree. It is the letters of the language, the basic sounds which correspond to the propensities of the human mind. So if the one naming an object has a very subtle perception, they may combine the sounds to describe the vibration of that object. In that way there may be attribution or parallelism with the vibratory rate of the object and the sounds that describe it. But it is not in the name that there is this relationship, but in the fundamental sounds of the language itself.
