(Gen 2:23 KJV) And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
In Biblical history, these are the first words spoken by man (ie: Adam). Man never spoke back to God or any other creature. He only spoke to himself about his own bone.
Whether our words are verbalised as guttural noises or inscribed on parchment or in magical digital fonts…. The best anyone can interpret from our attempts to communicate is whatever their bodily experience and memories will translate.
More often than not, words actually get in the way of deeper communion… we do not need to talk to ourselves… it is purported to be the first sign of madness or presumably some kind of schizophrenia, because one does not need to talk. One only needs to talk when there are two or more. One is always in communion and if a bone is my bone and if flesh is my flesh, then what do I really need to say to my own bone and flesh?
Equally when we look at the relationship between God and Adam we see that Adam was in communion with God, presumably because like Eve, Adam was a bone of God, being part and parcel of the creator and the creative process.
It is interesting to note that Adam has a conversation with Eve and with a snake before he talks to God. In fact, Adam didn’t actually start talking to God until after he sinned and fell out of communion, presumably becoming a bone of contention. And who knows what gutteral language he spoke?
(Gen 3:9-11 KJV) And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
God is omnipresent and omniscient, so God is already in touch with our being, so whatever words we conjure from our disconnected vocabulary of sensual knowledge and our vocal capability are pretty much irrelevant, being inventions of our own imagination.
If you think about it, what can man really say to God…apart from “hi”, “thank you” and “sorry”… greet, praise and apologise… our father, hallowed be…, forgive us.
No doubt Biblical scholars’ of the King James Bible speak to God in the Kings English, while scholars of the Koran would communicate in Arabic and Hindus would use Hindi or Urdu. All these languages are just so much noise and scribble that have relative meaning to the speaker and those familiar with the cultural language.
Communication is not the same as communion, communication by its very nature is divisive and exclusive, being a product of relative sensual capability, environment (space) and tradition (time). Whereas communion is a union of spirit at a heart and soul level, it surpasses sensuality and our memories of space and time. Just as walls obstruct freedom, so words and language are a human construct that divide us… inhibiting true union, true love and true faith.
(Mat 5:37 KJV) But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
