Pray or Prey \/ Prophet or Profit \/ Worship or Warship \/ Parish or Perish<\/strong><\/p>\n

Is the English Language Talking Back to Us?<\/h2>\n

I believe that it is \u2013 and that homonyms are Freudian slips of the cultural unconscious. I also believe that the four pairs of homonyms cited above reveal the overt justification and underlying motivation for the ultimate oxyMoron, the so-called Holy War.<\/p>\n

So consider this:\u00a0 If the Word creates the World\u2014as its spelling indicates that it does\u2014and if ‘Life and Death are in the power of the tongue’ as Scriptures states that they are, then now is clearly the time for all of us to throw off the yoke of bad ideas (many of which are actually embedded in English language symbols and sounds and affirmed each time we speak our mind). We can actually begin to purposefully use the Word for the World’s ReCreation.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” bg_color=”#ffffff” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” id=”core-features” row_name=”Core Features” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” shape_type=””][vc_column centered_text=”true” column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1526236839994{padding-bottom: 10px !important;}”]\n

In WordMagic performance-presentations and workshops, I take audience members deep into the shadowy despair-ities and inner philosophy of the English language to reveal:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The self-defeating contra-dictions<\/strong> through which we write our own Life Sentences;<\/li>\n
  2. The Secret Path Words pointing toward our liberation; and<\/li>\n
  3. How young and old around the globe can take command of the language by collectively upgrading English into a true Romance language of the heart that inspires the best in us all.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    By turning words insight out<\/strong> and backwords<\/strong> to expose the Secret Spells<\/strong> they cast upon our minds, I also perform Alphabet Alchemy to reveal some potent messages with deeper implications as in these highly significant anagrams: (hover or click) <\/div>[carousel script=”owl_carousel” desktop_cols=”3″ desktop_small_cols=”2″ tablet_cols=”2″ mobile_cols=”1″ column_padding=”15px” loop=”true” autorotate=”true” autorotation_speed=”5000″][item id=”1526261295524-0-8″ title=”Item” tab_id=”1526233303041-8″][nectar_flip_box image_url_1=”519″ bg_color=”#0a0a0a” bg_color_overlay=”true” text_color=”light” icon_color=”Extra-Color-3″ image_url_2=”735″ bg_color_2=”#0a0a0a” bg_color_overlay_2=”true” text_color_2=”light” h_text_align=”center” v_text_align=”center” flip_direction=”horizontal-to-left” front_content=”<\/p>\n

    They are also inspired to invent and circulate new words and phrases that can put a more positive spin on the whirled.

    One can\u2019t say unequivocally linguistic anomaly will\u00a0always<\/em>\u00a0contain bits of social psychologically.

    For I\u2019ve found that their merge can infer an implicit equivalence between what\u2019s meant and what\u2019s heard\u2014though most miss its significance\u2013 and are therefore rendered all the more susceptible to linking concepts that the conscious mind might find completely unacceptable.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in-from-bottom” column_padding=”padding-3-percent” column_padding_position=”top-bottom” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/2″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” delay=”100″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1526268510413{padding-right: 10% !important;}”]As, for instance, who among us cares to think that when we shrink ourselves into our shells and get\u00a0depressed<\/strong>\u00a0that the state of peace we hope to see increase through this bleak retreat is a sound,\u00a0deep rest<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

    But because we\u2019re both oblivious and derisive toward the pun we tend to disregard the deep profun<\/strong>dities that some possess in their unseen and yet conspicuous curriculum.<\/p>\n

    Now, the reason such relationships exist \u2018twixt terms is really not so enigmatical: words mirror, echo, spin and twist since language is holo-grammatical; and thus reveal mixed metaphors of cultural dysfunction as well as higher wisdom at some homonyms\u2019 (and anagrams)
