I listen to Encoded Frequencies with Katie. She is a beautiful soul.. composer, musician, and speaks ‘light language’. I had a session with her and experienced some profound changes in my life. When we co-create in healing, learning, etc, I believe it can be all the more powerful. I don’t care that I don’t understand it cognitively, and I don’t feel less than for it. I understand through my feelings. I feel lighter, soothed. I love surrounding myself with beauty. This is that to me, akin to abeautiful song in another language. You don’t need to understand the language to feel the song. Everything is how we perceive it anyway. That’s in my power. To me, it opens the mystery of the universe, and I love that there are still things that can give us that feeling. It’s not what I know. It’s what I feel. Eyes of the Peacock: the only truth is the sum of all perceptions. I heard that once and never forgot it. That feels right to me, and it’s wonderful we can all share the truth of our own perceptions.
I’ll start by saying, John you don’t offend me☺️this is your truth and opinion and I respect it. With that said, For me it’s never been about power play, control, just making noises etc. It’s been a sacred language that I have with the creator throughout my years in religion and after. It’s not always “turned on” but I have some very intimate and deep meditations when it is and It feels like ecstasy. I’m indifferent to what people call it, I just know what it does for me personally and it’s pure love. I don’t advertise it, I don’t ask anyone to translate it, I just enjoy it And that’s my truth😍💓still luv you John of New🫂🫂🫂❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥and I enjoyed our session👌🏽💫

After watching an interview with Alex, who had on Kelly, I looked into light language. My personal belief is that it's another form of healing. We are vibrational beings, and vibration is sound in motion. Sound is a very powerful healing tool. To me, it just makes sense in terms of energy. Also, during my meditations, I involuntarily move my body, and I believe that light language is just a different expression. I've also pondered the idea of speaking in tongues to mean channeling back in the day. Just wanted to share my thoughts on this subject. Enjoy your weekend, my friend!❤

Good morning 😃 John. Thank you for being here. I love listening to you while I have my soup 🥣 and crackers, coffee ☕️ and water 💧 😊. I truly enjoy our time together 😊. Have a magical day. I love you ❤️😘.
In the 90's light language sounded like faries, in the 2000's it sounded like Tolkien elves, in the 2010's it sounded like the Navi from Avatar, now it sounds like the Dothraki. All popular FANTASY. If Star Wars doesn't go down in flames I'm sure light language will sound like Huttese in the near future.
My hypothesis is that it is sort of like downloading an app into your consciousness, and people associated with a group get the same version of the app. I've noticed that many charismatic Christians sound similar to each other when they speak in tongues. I received the gift of tongues while not associated with a church, and I get languages that sound different than what I've heard from many Christians, but similar to my mother when she speaks in tongues, so I think I downloaded her version. She admired a member of her church who spoke in tongues all the time and would speak in many different languages, not just something that sounded like baby talk, so she picked up his version of the "tongues app" out of the collective consciousness.
Hello darling. Not sure what other people do but my LL is not something I had to learn or understand. My guides said is that the sounds are just healing light codes in it. We don’t need to understand it or try to figure out. It’s just healing codes. 😊❤ (BTW: I am not offended)
Thank you Claudia for sharing this with us. First I thought, yes John is right, what is all that about, and when I read your comment I feel: This ist the one and only purpose Light language has. Leaving this video with something having fallen into place (if that is correct engish) ❤
Hello, John. I am so pleased whenever you come up on my feed. Here is my thought that came up while you spoke: someday, I would like to just sit with you on your porch, have a cup of coffee, and noodle a bit on the guitar... Just to enjoy and share a few moments with you... That's all. Thank you being. I am sending you peace, light, and love. H. Norton
I got 'the gift of tongues' when I went to a pentacostal church. I know what they taught it to be, but now 10 years later, I don't _really_ know what it is. I feel it's a way to emote to God or the divine when you don't really know what to verbally say in English. it brings me peace. I never use it in front of people.
Thank you, John, for bringing me subjects I know nothing about nor would ever seek out on my own. I asked myself one time how my dogs hear. I got the feeling that they understand not by what I say, but how I say it. Their hearing is many times better than mine; so am I speaking softly enough? I have a rescue dog who is only happy if I am happy; is there any 'trouble' in my tone? If there is, for any reason. Rosa hears it immediately. Certain words are tabu like 'stupid': someone has taught her that is a bad word and feeling. I am trying to transfer this to speaking to other people and myself.
Thank you for this. I’ve noticed the same and agree with you. I grew up in the Charismatic movement and learned to speak in tongues. Back in the 70s I realized it was just cult-like bs because there was no verifiable communication or help anyone got from the practice, and am surprised, many years later, to hear the same thing in my local IANDS (International Association of Near Death Studies) group! I was quite dismayed, because, like you, I know how dogma and cults are formed and operate-and why this is such a problem. Very glad you’re talking about this!
This. If even the Usurper says that having people speak in tongues without a translator, there's no fricken point to having people do it, why do we have hangups? I admit, weird...incomprehensible sounds often escape my lips and I have no idea what they mean...but I don't need to. I know how I feel, think, and have a good bead on how to try to be a better person. What do I care what weird sounds mean if they make no sense?
John what you say had many good point but it seem to me you are speaking with your “past” religious filter on and that is all cool and I think we are all here with our own challenge to learn and grow, if They can use Lights language to help better themselves or to get in balance with life that is good for them, it is a wonderful tools, I don’t encourage everyone to go get lights language activation, but if it pop up in their life and it resonates with them then maybe it meant for them, I try to tell myself, my perspective is not all perspectives, my journey is not all journeys, my ideal is not all ideals, not everyone think like me and if everyone think like me the world would be a very boring place. Good day John.
I respect your beliefs though I disagree that I see this through a "religious filter" I believe everything is within us and any dogma be it old or new is unnecessary.
@@johnofnew I agree with you completely that everything’s is within us, but nobody can be you, you’re upbringings and the experiences that shape you into The Who you are now and it is beautiful and unique, other can’t be you or your way of thinking, but dogmas or not it is a tools whether or not they used it, at the end of our journey there is only GOD, not too long ago I used to reject certain beliefs and it really annoys me, then a thought come to me “why does that matter” if it come to them in their time of need or development, they will eventually move beyond it, it not like everyone can telepathically communicate with each other, until then Light language will be a thing it may gain or lose it popularity, I justly it be.
My understanding is that the early speaking in tongues was as you say, the Divine ability to communicate with all living peoples (or maybe even all species). But could these people only understand others, without other people being able to understand their 'light language'? But perhaps was it a form of telepathy rather than a spoken language? Regarding modern-day 'speaking in tongues'. As a teenager I was part of the 'born again' community and we often attended huge meetings. On one occasion, there was a person near me coming out with all this garbled nonsense and everyone said, 'ooh she's speaking in tongues'. Well for me, it was like the devil's noise and really freaked me out, it didn't have a good vibe at all. I left Christianity not long after. And as for this modern 'light language'. I feel that many people have good intentions, but it just doesn't feel like it has anything useful to give us, maybe is even a distraction from more useful practices. It doesn't give off a bad vibe, but not good either. On the other hand, when I hear some people singing, I can really feel the Light in their voices and music. Oh, and bird song - that really connects me to the Divine :o) Bird song is the ultimate Light Language!
Did you hear of the intriguing Voynich Manuscript? This is the world's most mysterious manuscript created some time in the Middle Ages. The ancient book that no one can read. Even A.I. couldn't decipher this. Perhaps the Voynich Manuscript was written in Light Language? Some scholars noted that many of the drawings of plants are not plants on this planet.
Agree w u, and like u respect others beliefs. However, last thing we need is another language or layer of separation from anyone else. Like to believe verbalized language will eventually disappear and we will communicate with our emotions/thoughts. Namaste 🙏
“Light language “ sounds like it would only involve music🤔 As for “Speaking in Tongues” what does it mean?? How many tongues do you need..🤔🤔 l feel that Spiritual communication would be through thought🤷🏻♀️
When they spoke in tongues on the day of Pentecost all those in the upper room were given a language they did not know. But those who were in the town/city who were from other regions understood the person who was given that tongue. This made believers out of them because they knew that that person was not from there region/country.
Yes, whatever name is given to it - it is basically an 'emotional un-patterning' which is helpful in breaking patterns of thinking in too rigid ways, helping one that way access its own multidimensional self and a more lively feeling personality structure. And it is not something to learn, rather to simply express, and the messages can be easily interpreted in real time by anyone as long as own self is being trusted. You can easily try it by say giving a spontaneous sound uttering say to an object, it will sound differently at different time and on emotional level express a different aspect of say that object, that was not readily apparent before. People who try to put everything into neat boxes might have a difficult time with that one, it annoying them, partially because such performance is unboxing their habitual thinking that they are guarding :-) When that is the case as with say the fundamentalists all they can do is make two boxes - one being 'good tongues' and the other 'evil tongues' same as with their 'good spirits' and 'evil spirits' and so it goes :-)
I really feel that you are misinformed about speaking in tongues. Many people are, because of how it has been misused and misunderstood by Pentecostals. They often do exactly the opposite of what Paul suggested in the Bible, by speaking all at once in public, so people think they are crazy and just making up sounds. And undoubtedly, some of them ARE just making sounds, because of the social pressure to fit in. For me, receiving the gift of tongues was a definite experience that was similar to what is described in the book of Acts. It was literally the only reason I kept searching for truth, because as I studied the Bible, I found so many contradictory teachings and different interpretations. It is also a daily reminder for me that the material world is not all that exists. I have tested it every way I can think of to convince myself I'm not just making up sounds, by speaking in tongues while reading, writing, thinking about other things, doing math, etc. When people are truly speaking in tongues, brain scans have shown that the activity in the speech center of the brain nearly stops. It is absolutely not just a bunch of made up sounds. I speak in tongues, and different languages come out, and many of them have sounds I don't even know how to make as an English speaker with two years of high school Spanish, and no other language skills. I'm not sure what people who are calling it light language are doing with it, but in the one video I saw, they were not trying to get an interpretation. The best explanation of speaking in tongues I've found is in the book "Tongues: Beyond The Upper Room" by Kenneth E. Hagin. He clears up a lot of nonsense teachings that Christians have come up with. But really, even if Pentecostals misunderstood the Bible, and "speaking in tongues" was an experience they created in the early 1900's, and not biblical, it still has the same value. I think of it like "downloading an app" into your consciousness. It is just another tool, like meditation, to help tune your mind to other "frequencies". It is not necessary for everyone, and there are many other ways to achieve that, but for me it has been a beautiful gift from God that has been an essential part of my search for truth.
@@johnofnew I think it's just that different spiritual teachers come up with different methods to try to jolt people out of their materialistic mind rut. That one happened to start in Christianity. Obviously now, other people are using it too, maybe not always in helpful ways. Speaking in tongues is weird, but it is a clever a way of getting around what Tom Campbell calls the "psi uncertainty principle". It looks like nonsense to other people, so they can preserve the illusion that paranormal things don't exist if that is the life experience they are choosing to have, while at the same time the person speaking in tongues knows it is something supernatural. Although it can be used other ways, too. For example, sometimes a person will speak in a language they don't know, and someone who speaks that language hears, and gets a helpful message. Another way is tongues plus interpretation, which is just an excuse to get a prophetic message, or a channeled message as new agers might say. The message is not actually "interpreted" in that case, it's just a mind trick to get the other person to open their mind to a message coming in, which they technically could have gotten without hearing the message spoken in tongues.
I’ve heard people speak these so-called light languages. Once, while channel surfing on TV, I heard a preacher on The 700 Club speaking in tongues. It sounded exactly like a baby babbling like they do so well. None of it made sense. I mean, why, if no one can understand it? Seems like a very useless practice. And if anyone says it means this, or it means that, that made even less sense. Someone said that God inspired this person to speak some words of an angelic language and gave another person the understanding of its meaning. This didn’t help. Felt more confused than before. It was interesting that no two individuals spoken the same language. With all the angels speaking their own language, seems like they got caught in the Tower of Babel punishment sent by God where no one could understand what anyone was saying.
Light Language is just the New Age answer to the Christian concept of speaking in tongues. The below describes speaking in tongues, but it can also be applied to Light Language - it's essentially produced in the exact same way..... The “tongues” Pentecostal and Charismatic Christians are producing today is an entirely self-created phenomenon. It is non-cognitive non-language utterance; random free vocalization based upon a subset of the existing underlying sounds (called phonemes) of the speaker’s native language, and any other language(s) the speaker may be familiar with or have had contact with. It is, in part, typically characterized by repetitive syllables, plays on sound patterns, alliteration, assonance, and over-simplification of syllable structure. The "nail in the coffin", so-to-speak, is that _any and all_ phonological rules (rules governing how sounds are put together in a given language - what is allowed and what is disallowed) governing a speaker's native language, will _also_ govern their tongues-speech. That fact alone negates anything that can be construed as 'divine' in nature and cements that fact that it is a self-created phenomenon. Further, this subset of phonemes mentioned above typically contains only those sounds which are easiest to produce physiologically. One of the main differences between the two is that light language will oftentimes incorporate the new Age concept of frequency/tones used in sound meditation or sound healing.
Sorry but you are wrong ,you are misleading. Speaking in tongues is a language. If someone is repeating the same sound/ word ,that is not a language. If you read the book of Acts about the 120 waiting in the upper room the Spirit of God came down on them and it looked like tongues of fire on them. They received the baptism of fire and spoke in a language they did not know. This was from God to be a witness to others. Many believed in God because they knew that those who were speaking , were speaking in their native tongue. They were pretty much blown away by it! Because they understood what the tongue/ language was. There is also what is called diverse tongues, tongues for different reasons and yes when a word in tongues is given by the Spirit for those who have gathered there will be an interpreter, which is a gift also to be able to interpret. There is a very personal language between God and the child of God. There is a tongue for intercession/ prayer. There is a tongue for exaltation of God.
@@llisabethm88 Modern tongues-speech (what people are producing today and calling "tongues") is not language. There is absolutely nothing mysterious about Biblical "tongues" - and there is only one type - when referring to something spoken, they are nothing more than real, rational language(s); usually, but not always, unknown to those listening to them, but always known by the speaker(s) - it’s their native language (in some cases, it is a language the speaker has learned). In contrast, the “tongues” Pentecostal and Charismatic Christians are producing today is an entirely self-created phenomenon. It is non-cognitive non-language utterance; random free vocalization based upon a subset of the existing underlying sounds (called phonemes) of the speaker’s native language, and any other language(s) the speaker may be familiar with or have had contact with. It is, in part, typically characterized by repetitive syllables, plays on sound patterns, alliteration, assonance, and over-simplification of syllable structure. The "nail in the coffin", so-to-speak, is that _any and all_ phonological rules (rules governing how sounds are put together in a given language - what is allowed and what is disallowed) governing a speaker's native language, will _also_ govern their tongues-speech. That fact alone negates anything that can be construed as 'divine' in nature and cements that fact that it is a self-created phenomenon. Further, this subset of phonemes mentioned above typically contains only those sounds which are easiest to produce physiologically. Occasionally some speakers will use two or more subsets of phonemes to generate glossolalia, producing what, to them, sounds like two (or more) distinct “tongues languages”, thus claiming to be able to speak in “divers tongues”. There is absolutely _nothing_ that “tongues-speakers” are producing that cannot be explained in relatively simple linguistic terms. Conversely, when it comes to something spoken, there are absolutely _no_ Biblical references to “tongues” that do not refer to, and cannot be explained in light of, real rational language(s), though it may not be the explanation you want to hear, and it may be one which is radically different from what you believe, or were taught. _Nowhere_ in the Bible is modern tongues-speech advocated or evidenced. “Praying in the Spirit” does _not_ refer to the words one is saying. Rather, it refers to how one is praying. In the three places it is used (Corinthians, Ephesians, and Jude), there is absolutely zero reference to 'languages' in connection with this phrase. “Praying in the Spirit” should be understood as praying in the power of the Spirit, by the leading of the Spirit, and according to His will.
I'm not doubting or questioning the 'tongues experience'; glossolalia as the spiritual tool that it is, can be very powerful and, for many people, the experience is profound. As one commenter put it, “Speaking in tongues distracts the ego/analytical/conscious mind while leaving the subconscious (the heart) wide open to import the divine." Both the spiritual and physical benefits of using this tool are also well documented. Again though, it is important to note that this same statement can be made for virtually _any_ other culture that practices glossolalia. Religious and cultural differences aside, the glossolalia an Evenki Shaman in Siberia, a vodoun priestess in Togo and a Christian tongues-speaker in Alabama are producing are in no way different from each other. They’re all producing their glossolalia in the exact same way; they just have different explanations and beliefs as to why they’re doing it, and where it comes from. It is only in certain Christian denominations where is it construed as something it never was. “Tongues” is to some Christian believers a very real and spiritually meaningful experience but consisting of emotional release via non-linguistic ‘free vocalizations’ at best; non-cognitive non language utterance - the subconscious playing with sounds to create what is perceived and interpreted as actual, meaningful speech. In _some_ cases, I would argue that it is clearly a self/mass delusion prompted by such a strong desire to “experience God” that one creates that experience via “tongues”.
‘Tongues’ (read, *‘languages’* ) - the divine gift, is the God/Holy Spirit given ability to effortlessly learn to speak and be understood through real-language barriers. It is not xenoglossy (as many people incorrectly assume), nor is it the self-created non-cognitive non-language utterance of what certain Christian denominations are producing today (modern tongues-speech). As a point of note, I’m a Linguist, and let me also add here that I am neither a so-called ‘cessationist’ nor a ‘continuationist’ - I do not identify with either term; in fact, I had never heard the two terms until just late in 2016. As far as I’m concerned, quite frankly, since the Biblical reference of “tongues” is to real, rational languages, obviously “tongues” haven’t “ceased”.
@@llisabethm88 At Pentecost, the apostles weren’t speaking any language they didn’t already know. The spiritual gift given at Pentecost was not that of languages (though a language miracle did occur), but rather prophesy. This would take a few pages to explain properly; so, for the sake of brevity, I’m considerably simplifying and ‘bottom lining’ the below. At Pentecost, the Holy Spirit did not give the _language_ (i.e., the means/content) of the apostles’ speech, it gave the _manner_ in which it was spoken. The Holy Spirit gave the 12 (yep, 12, not 120, but that’s a story for another day) apostles what in the Greek text is “apophtheggesthai”. It’s usually translated as “to give utterance”. This is, however, not the most accurate translation of this Greek word, but it’s the one that has come to be the more or less ‘de facto’ rendering. This word is from “apophtheggomai” which is best translated as “to give bold, authoritative, inspired speech to”. Don’t go to Strong’s and look it up though - “Strong’s” is a _concordance_ , not a lexicon; there’s a _huge_ difference. Without going into what could be considerable detail, when looking at the “language wherein the attendees were born” there are only two: Aramaic and Greek. The Jews present at Pentecost came from three areas: Judea, the Western Diaspora and the Eastern Diaspora. “All nations under heaven” is an idiomatic expression - Acts II: 9-11 tells us where those visiting were from. The “list of nations”, as it’s called, of Acts 2: 9-11 is simply that - a list of countries, lands and nations that tell us where these people were from; *not* what language(s) they spoke, as most people assume. Further, the idea that the “tongues” of Acts II was xenoglossy also stems from this false assumption. In the entire narrative not *one* language is ever referenced by name - ever wonder why? The miracle of language at Pentecost was making the God of the Jews accessible to all people and moreover, not having to do so in one prescribed language: namely, Hebrew, the sacerdotal language of Judaism. The crowd was expecting to hear Hebrew first followed by translations into Aramaic and Greek as was the tradition and practice of the day; what they got were Aramaic and Greek without Hebrew first. Doing this broke a slew of cultural and religious taboos and was virtually tantamount to heresy which accounts for the crowd’s reaction. Further added to the crowd’s reaction was to hear Galileans (the “country bumkins” of their day) speak so boldly, completely inspired, and with such authority.
The actual gift being emphasized is the fact that the Holy Spirit has empowered the disciples to _prophesy_ and to boldly proclaim the Word of the Lord, and this is exactly what we find in verse 14. Peter “lifted up his voice and _addressed_ them”, but perhaps a better translation would be that he lifted up his voice and _prophesied._ We tend to think of prophecy as a kind of foretelling of future events, but in the Hebrew use, it was more often associated with _speaking forth_ the Word of the Lord. I would argue that, if looking for a gift of the Holy Spirit to assign to Pentecost, it would be more the gift of Prophesy than of Languages. No xenoglossy, no modern tongues-speech, just real, rational language(s). There *was* a language miracle at Pentecost provided by the Holy Spirit, no argument there; just not the one most people assume. This also negates the concept of “tongues as initial evidence” - That’s a completely Pentecostal/Charismatic Christian construct.

John , I totally agree with your thoughts on light language. Love the morning coffees with you, always interesting topics you present ❤
After watching an interview with Alex, who had on Kelly, I looked into light language. My personal belief is that it's another form of healing. We are vibrational beings, and vibration is sound in motion. Sound is a very powerful healing tool. To me, it just makes sense in terms of energy. Also, during my meditations, I involuntarily move my body, and I believe that light language is just a different expression. I've also pondered the idea of speaking in tongues to mean channeling back in the day. Just wanted to share my thoughts on this subject. Enjoy your weekend, my friend!❤
And if you believe it it will heal you as "it is your faith that heals you"
Maria, this is so well said. Yes, it is the sound vibrations with the healing frequencies that move the energy around. The belief from within each of us , that resonates with whatever healing modality is the true healer. I feel deeply connected to certain light language, and some, not so much. To each their own.

In the 90's light language sounded like faries, in the 2000's it sounded like Tolkien elves, in the 2010's it sounded like the Navi from Avatar, now it sounds like the Dothraki. All popular FANTASY. If Star Wars doesn't go down in flames I'm sure light language will sound like Huttese in the near future.
Interesting thing about light language is that a many of them sounds like the same language.

Thank you for this. I’ve noticed the same and agree with you. I grew up in the Charismatic movement and learned to speak in tongues. Back in the 70s I realized it was just cult-like bs because there was no verifiable communication or help anyone got from the practice, and am surprised, many years later, to hear the same thing in my local IANDS (International Association of Near Death Studies) group! I was quite dismayed, because, like you, I know how dogma and cults are formed and operate-and why this is such a problem. Very glad you’re talking about this!
There are greater gift than speak in tongues Paul tell this to church of Corinthians and remember by faith we are saved not of just works
This. If even the Usurper says that having people speak in tongues without a translator, there's no fricken point to having people do it, why do we have hangups? I admit, weird...incomprehensible sounds often escape my lips and I have no idea what they mean...but I don't need to. I know how I feel, think, and have a good bead on how to try to be a better person. What do I care what weird sounds mean if they make no sense?
John what you say had many good point but it seem to me you are speaking with your “past” religious filter on and that is all cool and I think we are all here with our own challenge to learn and grow, if They can use Lights language to help better themselves or to get in balance with life that is good for them, it is a wonderful tools, I don’t encourage everyone to go get lights language activation, but if it pop up in their life and it resonates with them then maybe it meant for them, I try to tell myself, my perspective is not all perspectives, my journey is not all journeys, my ideal is not all ideals, not everyone think like me and if everyone think like me the world would be a very boring place. Good day John.
I respect your beliefs though I disagree that I see this through a "religious filter" I believe everything is within us and any dogma be it old or new is unnecessary.
@@johnofnew I agree with you completely that everything’s is within us, but nobody can be you, you’re upbringings and the experiences that shape you into The Who you are now and it is beautiful and unique, other can’t be you or your way of thinking, but dogmas or not it is a tools whether or not they used it, at the end of our journey there is only GOD, not too long ago I used to reject certain beliefs and it really annoys me, then a thought come to me “why does that matter” if it come to them in their time of need or development, they will eventually move beyond it, it not like everyone can telepathically communicate with each other, until then Light language will be a thing it may gain or lose it popularity, I justly it be.
My understanding is that the early speaking in tongues was as you say, the Divine ability to communicate with all living peoples (or maybe even all species). But could these people only understand others, without other people being able to understand their 'light language'? But perhaps was it a form of telepathy rather than a spoken language?
Regarding modern-day 'speaking in tongues'. As a teenager I was part of the 'born again' community and we often attended huge meetings. On one occasion, there was a person near me coming out with all this garbled nonsense and everyone said, 'ooh she's speaking in tongues'. Well for me, it was like the devil's noise and really freaked me out, it didn't have a good vibe at all. I left Christianity not long after.
And as for this modern 'light language'. I feel that many people have good intentions, but it just doesn't feel like it has anything useful to give us, maybe is even a distraction from more useful practices. It doesn't give off a bad vibe, but not good either. On the other hand, when I hear some people singing, I can really feel the Light in their voices and music. Oh, and bird song - that really connects me to the Divine :o) Bird song is the ultimate Light Language!
Did you hear of the intriguing Voynich Manuscript? This is the world's most mysterious manuscript created some time in the Middle Ages. The ancient book that no one can read. Even A.I. couldn't decipher this. Perhaps the Voynich Manuscript was written in Light Language? Some scholars noted that many of the drawings of plants are not plants on this planet.
interesting though it does not match what people are cxlcii ng light language is
Agree w u, and like u respect others beliefs. However, last thing we need is another language or layer of separation from anyone else. Like to believe verbalized language will eventually disappear and we will communicate with our emotions/thoughts. Namaste 🙏
“Light language “ sounds like it would only involve music🤔 As for “Speaking in Tongues” what does it mean?? How many tongues do you need..🤔🤔 l feel that Spiritual communication would be through thought🤷🏻♀️
It is better to say ten words and have people understand than 10 thousand and not understand what you are saying
When they spoke in tongues on the day of Pentecost all those in the upper room were given a language they did not know. But those who were in the town/city who were from other regions understood the person who was given that tongue. This made believers out of them because they knew that that person was not from there region/country.
and?
Yes, whatever name is given to it - it is basically an 'emotional un-patterning' which is helpful in breaking patterns of thinking in too rigid ways, helping one that way access its own multidimensional self and a more lively feeling personality structure. And it is not something to learn, rather to simply express, and the messages can be easily interpreted in real time by anyone as long as own self is being trusted. You can easily try it by say giving a spontaneous sound uttering say to an object, it will sound differently at different time and on emotional level express a different aspect of say that object, that was not readily apparent before. People who try to put everything into neat boxes might have a difficult time with that one, it annoying them, partially because such performance is unboxing their habitual thinking that they are guarding :-) When that is the case as with say the fundamentalists all they can do is make two boxes - one being 'good tongues' and the other 'evil tongues' same as with their 'good spirits' and 'evil spirits' and so it goes :-)
I think life is simpler.
I really feel that you are misinformed about speaking in tongues. Many people are, because of how it has been misused and misunderstood by Pentecostals. They often do exactly the opposite of what Paul suggested in the Bible, by speaking all at once in public, so people think they are crazy and just making up sounds. And undoubtedly, some of them ARE just making sounds, because of the social pressure to fit in.
For me, receiving the gift of tongues was a definite experience that was similar to what is described in the book of Acts. It was literally the only reason I kept searching for truth, because as I studied the Bible, I found so many contradictory teachings and different interpretations. It is also a daily reminder for me that the material world is not all that exists. I have tested it every way I can think of to convince myself I'm not just making up sounds, by speaking in tongues while reading, writing, thinking about other things, doing math, etc.
When people are truly speaking in tongues, brain scans have shown that the activity in the speech center of the brain nearly stops. It is absolutely not just a bunch of made up sounds. I speak in tongues, and different languages come out, and many of them have sounds I don't even know how to make as an English speaker with two years of high school Spanish, and no other language skills. I'm not sure what people who are calling it light language are doing with it, but in the one video I saw, they were not trying to get an interpretation. The best explanation of speaking in tongues I've found is in the book "Tongues: Beyond The Upper Room" by Kenneth E. Hagin. He clears up a lot of nonsense teachings that Christians have come up with. But really, even if Pentecostals misunderstood the Bible, and "speaking in tongues" was an experience they created in the early 1900's, and not biblical, it still has the same value. I think of it like "downloading an app" into your consciousness. It is just another tool, like meditation, to help tune your mind to other "frequencies". It is not necessary for everyone, and there are many other ways to achieve that, but for me it has been a beautiful gift from God that has been an essential part of my search for truth.
but its only Christians who have been told to believe speaking in tongues is a thing. Why no one else?
@@johnofnew I think it's just that different spiritual teachers come up with different methods to try to jolt people out of their materialistic mind rut. That one happened to start in Christianity. Obviously now, other people are using it too, maybe not always in helpful ways. Speaking in tongues is weird, but it is a clever a way of getting around what Tom Campbell calls the "psi uncertainty principle". It looks like nonsense to other people, so they can preserve the illusion that paranormal things don't exist if that is the life experience they are choosing to have, while at the same time the person speaking in tongues knows it is something supernatural. Although it can be used other ways, too. For example, sometimes a person will speak in a language they don't know, and someone who speaks that language hears, and gets a helpful message. Another way is tongues plus interpretation, which is just an excuse to get a prophetic message, or a channeled message as new agers might say. The message is not actually "interpreted" in that case, it's just a mind trick to get the other person to open their mind to a message coming in, which they technically could have gotten without hearing the message spoken in tongues.
I’ve heard people speak these so-called light languages. Once, while channel surfing on TV, I heard a preacher on The 700 Club speaking in tongues. It sounded exactly like a baby babbling like they do so well. None of it made sense. I mean, why, if no one can understand it? Seems like a very useless practice. And if anyone says it means this, or it means that, that made even less sense. Someone said that God inspired this person to speak some words of an angelic language and gave another person the understanding of its meaning. This didn’t help. Felt more confused than before. It was interesting that no two individuals spoken the same language. With all the angels speaking their own language, seems like they got caught in the Tower of Babel punishment sent by God where no one could understand what anyone was saying.
Light Language is just the New Age answer to the Christian concept of speaking in tongues.
The below describes speaking in tongues, but it can also be applied to Light Language - it's essentially produced in the exact same way.....
The “tongues” Pentecostal and Charismatic Christians are producing today is an entirely self-created phenomenon. It is non-cognitive non-language utterance; random free vocalization based upon a subset of the existing underlying sounds (called phonemes) of the speaker’s native language, and any other language(s) the speaker may be familiar with or have had contact with.
It is, in part, typically characterized by repetitive syllables, plays on sound patterns, alliteration, assonance, and over-simplification of syllable structure. The "nail in the coffin", so-to-speak, is that _any and all_ phonological rules (rules governing how sounds are put together in a given language - what is allowed and what is disallowed) governing a speaker's native language, will _also_ govern their tongues-speech. That fact alone negates anything that can be construed as 'divine' in nature and cements that fact that it is a self-created phenomenon. Further, this subset of phonemes mentioned above typically contains only those sounds which are easiest to produce physiologically.
One of the main differences between the two is that light language will oftentimes incorporate the new Age concept of frequency/tones used in sound meditation or sound healing.
isn't that what the video said? I think they're both constructs of the mind and pathways away from your self.
Sorry but you are wrong ,you are misleading. Speaking in tongues is a language. If someone is repeating the same sound/ word ,that is not a language. If you read the book of Acts about the 120 waiting in the upper room the Spirit of God came down on them and it looked like tongues of fire on them. They received the baptism of fire and spoke in a language they did not know. This was from God to be a witness to others. Many believed in God because they knew that those who were speaking , were speaking in their native tongue. They were pretty much blown away by it! Because they understood what the tongue/ language was.
There is also what is called diverse tongues, tongues for different reasons and yes when a word in tongues is given by the Spirit for those who have gathered there will be an interpreter, which is a gift also to be able to interpret.
There is a very personal language between God and the child of God. There is a tongue for intercession/ prayer. There is a tongue for exaltation of God.

Modern tongues-speech (what people are producing today and calling "tongues") is not language.
There is absolutely nothing mysterious about Biblical "tongues" - and there is only one type - when referring to something spoken, they are nothing more than real, rational language(s); usually, but not always, unknown to those listening to them, but always known by the speaker(s) - it’s their native language (in some cases, it is a language the speaker has learned).
In contrast, the “tongues” Pentecostal and Charismatic Christians are producing today is an entirely self-created phenomenon. It is non-cognitive non-language utterance; random free vocalization based upon a subset of the existing underlying sounds (called phonemes) of the speaker’s native language, and any other language(s) the speaker may be familiar with or have had contact with.
It is, in part, typically characterized by repetitive syllables, plays on sound patterns, alliteration, assonance, and over-simplification of syllable structure. The "nail in the coffin", so-to-speak, is that _any and all_ phonological rules (rules governing how sounds are put together in a given language - what is allowed and what is disallowed) governing a speaker's native language, will _also_ govern their tongues-speech. That fact alone negates anything that can be construed as 'divine' in nature and cements that fact that it is a self-created phenomenon. Further, this subset of phonemes mentioned above typically contains only those sounds which are easiest to produce physiologically.
Occasionally some speakers will use two or more subsets of phonemes to generate glossolalia, producing what, to them, sounds like two (or more) distinct “tongues languages”, thus claiming to be able to speak in “divers tongues”.
There is absolutely _nothing_ that “tongues-speakers” are producing that cannot be explained in relatively simple linguistic terms.
Conversely, when it comes to something spoken, there are absolutely _no_ Biblical references to “tongues” that do not refer to, and cannot be explained in light of, real rational language(s), though it may not be the explanation you want to hear, and it may be one which is radically different from what you believe, or were taught. _Nowhere_ in the Bible is modern tongues-speech advocated or evidenced.
“Praying in the Spirit” does _not_ refer to the words one is saying. Rather, it refers to how one is praying. In the three places it is used (Corinthians, Ephesians, and Jude), there is absolutely zero reference to 'languages' in connection with this phrase. “Praying in the Spirit” should be understood as praying in the power of the Spirit, by the leading of the Spirit, and according to His will.
I'm not doubting or questioning the 'tongues experience'; glossolalia as the spiritual tool that it is, can be very powerful and, for many people, the experience is profound. As one commenter put it, “Speaking in tongues distracts the ego/analytical/conscious mind while leaving the subconscious (the heart) wide open to import the divine." Both the spiritual and physical benefits of using this tool are also well documented. Again though, it is important to note that this same statement can be made for virtually _any_ other culture that practices glossolalia. Religious and cultural differences aside, the glossolalia an Evenki Shaman in Siberia, a vodoun priestess in Togo and a Christian tongues-speaker in Alabama are producing are in no way different from each other. They’re all producing their glossolalia in the exact same way; they just have different explanations and beliefs as to why they’re doing it, and where it comes from. It is only in certain Christian denominations where is it construed as something it never was.
“Tongues” is to some Christian believers a very real and spiritually meaningful experience but consisting of emotional release via non-linguistic ‘free vocalizations’ at best; non-cognitive non language utterance - the subconscious playing with sounds to create what is perceived and interpreted as actual, meaningful speech. In _some_ cases, I would argue that it is clearly a self/mass delusion prompted by such a strong desire to “experience God” that one creates that experience via “tongues”.
‘Tongues’ (read, *‘languages’* ) - the divine gift, is the God/Holy Spirit given ability to effortlessly learn to speak and be understood through real-language barriers. It is not xenoglossy (as many people incorrectly assume), nor is it the self-created non-cognitive non-language utterance of what certain Christian denominations are producing today (modern tongues-speech).
As a point of note, I’m a Linguist, and let me also add here that I am neither a so-called ‘cessationist’ nor a ‘continuationist’ - I do not identify with either term; in fact, I had never heard the two terms until just late in 2016. As far as I’m concerned, quite frankly, since the Biblical reference of “tongues” is to real, rational languages, obviously “tongues” haven’t “ceased”.

At Pentecost, the apostles weren’t speaking any language they didn’t already know. The spiritual gift given at Pentecost was not that of languages (though a language miracle did occur), but rather prophesy.
This would take a few pages to explain properly; so, for the sake of brevity, I’m considerably simplifying and ‘bottom lining’ the below.
At Pentecost, the Holy Spirit did not give the _language_ (i.e., the means/content) of the apostles’ speech, it gave the _manner_ in which it was spoken.
The Holy Spirit gave the 12 (yep, 12, not 120, but that’s a story for another day) apostles what in the Greek text is “apophtheggesthai”. It’s usually translated as “to give utterance”. This is, however, not the most accurate translation of this Greek word, but it’s the one that has come to be the more or less ‘de facto’ rendering.
This word is from “apophtheggomai” which is best translated as “to give bold, authoritative, inspired speech to”. Don’t go to Strong’s and look it up though - “Strong’s” is a _concordance_ , not a lexicon; there’s a _huge_ difference.
Without going into what could be considerable detail, when looking at the “language wherein the attendees were born” there are only two: Aramaic and Greek.
The Jews present at Pentecost came from three areas: Judea, the Western Diaspora and the Eastern Diaspora. “All nations under heaven” is an idiomatic expression - Acts II: 9-11 tells us where those visiting were from.
The “list of nations”, as it’s called, of Acts 2: 9-11 is simply that - a list of countries, lands and nations that tell us where these people were from; *not* what language(s) they spoke, as most people assume. Further, the idea that the “tongues” of Acts II was xenoglossy also stems from this false assumption. In the entire narrative not *one* language is ever referenced by name - ever wonder why?
The miracle of language at Pentecost was making the God of the Jews accessible to all people and moreover, not having to do so in one prescribed language: namely, Hebrew, the sacerdotal language of Judaism. The crowd was expecting to hear Hebrew first followed by translations into Aramaic and Greek as was the tradition and practice of the day; what they got were Aramaic and Greek without Hebrew first. Doing this broke a slew of cultural and religious taboos and was virtually tantamount to heresy which accounts for the crowd’s reaction. Further added to the crowd’s reaction was to hear Galileans (the “country bumkins” of their day) speak so boldly, completely inspired, and with such authority.
The actual gift being emphasized is the fact that the Holy Spirit has empowered the disciples to _prophesy_ and to boldly proclaim the Word of the Lord, and this is exactly what we find in verse 14. Peter “lifted up his voice and _addressed_ them”, but perhaps a better translation would be that he lifted up his voice and _prophesied._ We tend to think of prophecy as a kind of foretelling of future events, but in the Hebrew use, it was more often associated with _speaking forth_ the Word of the Lord. I would argue that, if looking for a gift of the Holy Spirit to assign to Pentecost, it would be more the gift of Prophesy than of Languages.
No xenoglossy, no modern tongues-speech, just real, rational language(s). There *was* a language miracle at Pentecost provided by the Holy Spirit, no argument there; just not the one most people assume.
This also negates the concept of “tongues as initial evidence” - That’s a completely Pentecostal/Charismatic Christian construct.
