GENERAL INTERPRETATION
Right Speech is the 5th Vibration of the Tonal Wheel and it is the home of creativity, contentment and masterly good sense. It seeks to magnify and clarify a clear description of ‘what is’ and ‘what is not’.
This position bears the radiance of the sun, but speaks with the clarity of the moon. The melody, rhythm, timing and intent of our communications are woven together by thinking. Meaning is revealed in the glistening dewdrops of words that in themselves reveal their purpose. Initially, words are born to describe man’s nature. To deprive one of his name in biblical times was to deprive him of his stature and being.
The power of the word makes the man.
N.B. In these writings the word ‘Man’ is used generically to describe humankind.
“To be a man is to speak. Man says ‘yes’ and ‘no’ only because in his profound essence he is a speaker.
That is his distinction, and at the same time his burden. It distinguishes him from stones, plants, animals, but also from Gods.”
