(Gen 2:11 KJV) The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
The name “Pison” means nothing to most of us, but it is the name that was given to a river by men.
There are really only two main kinds of words: “Nouns” which we associate to perceived structures and “Verbs” which we associate with perceived behaviours.
The spoken word is just expressed lip and vocal noise, it is only our mental association of this noise with some aspect of our reality that gives words any meaning at all.
The written word is just expressed scribble on a medium, it is only our mental association of this symbolic scribble with some aspect of our reality that gives script any meaning at all.
The ability to sensually scope, express a name or a symbol and direct it at some associated reality and then memorise it, seems to be a unique human trait among the animal kingdom. Our nearest DNA relative among the mammals, the chimpanzee, can best manage a “ooo ooo” and an “aaa aaa” - whereas humanity has the mental capacity to roll out a whole swag of syllables and a never ending babble of vocal and symbolic associations.
In nature there are few things we really need to know to live, ie: the weather, rocks, plants and animals.
In the world there are so many things we now need to know to live and everyday humanity creates and names more and more things unceasingly, while looking deeper and deeper into our reality with technical extensions to our senses.
Our need to know so much has driven our minds to grow ever more knowledgeable, ever more divisive. Yet what other animal needs to know so many word associations for things to be able to live?
Without ‘knowing’ we are all part and parcel of a great big soup that sloshes in and out and all around us in a divinely ordered way. It is all God and we are all cogs in this ONE body, though we are not all cognizant of this truth.
Giving something a name allows the human mind (whatever that is) to identify (focus on), then control and manipulate part of our reality (God) as gods.
When we put our breath in a balloon, does that balloon suddenly become another identity or is it just a rubber skin with our breath in it?
Words in and of themselves are relatively harmless, but when we begin to believe them as a truth that surpasses the reality that they are derived from and associated with, then we become lost in our own puffed up delusive knowing.
So who named “God” and who named the “Angels” and other “invisible” beings apart from those who perceived them?
(John 6:46 KJV) Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.
