Babel: n
1. confused noise: especially the noise of loud unintelligible voices all talking at once
2. noisy place: a scene or place of noisy confusion (Encarta)
There are a few stories from the Old Testament that pretty much
everyone has some knowledge of, Noah and the flood, Sodom and Gomorrah,
Cain and Abel, Moses and the Ten Commandments and the Tower of Babel.
Considering the tower, what would the world look like if we all spoke
the same language, had complete access to unfiltered information?
Everyone on the “same” page, nothing lost in translation, language
barriers unknown, what a different world it would be, the good and bad
of it making for an interesting thought experiment.
The Good News is we do have access today to a common language and
Living on the Spiritual Basis is the root, for when we practice the
Presence of God in all our activities, the heart speaks, and when the
heart speaks, hearts listen. Regardless of the language employed for
secular communication, the Language of the Heart is universal. Be the
words in Russian, French, Chinese or Urdu, if we begin each day asking
in morning meditation to be shown the way of patience, tolerance,
kindliness and love we speak as one. If we are asking throughout our day
to be shown how we may be of service to God and our fellows, we speak
with one voice. When we consistently place the welfare of others ahead
of our own, we demonstrate the universal language of Divine Love. What
would the world look like if everyone spoke this language, the language
of the Heart? Heaven.
