		<description>Well anyway, when I say "Darth Vader" I mean what PKD referred to as...what did he call them again? Anyway...the bad guys. 

maybe there is nothing you can do about it. You just keep plugging away like Tesla.</description>

		<description>Makes me think of Aboriginal Songlines:

Instead of a visual map, they represent geography by song.</description>

		<description>Yeah, that's a nice sentiment. I mean I believe you and everything. I remember reading something about Findhorn, where these gardeners talked to all these spirits and plants and rodents and stuff and tried to ask permission to plant wherever and worked to keep all the nature spirits happy. 

That's the whole shamanistic thing. Keeping the nature spirits happy. Taking up for the nature spirits with the humans, taking up for the humans with the nature spirits. 

Then at another polarity there is Darth Vader and the Emperor, what have you, trying to build a galactic empire and bring the whole universe under command and control. They would be interested in a Universal language too, so they can give everyone their orders. 

So I can see a case being made for keeping a Universal language secret, if you ever discover it. Or maybe you can have it so you can't understand it unless you employ your heart chakra and use empathy. 

I think if you have your heart engaged, even if you don't know a universal language you can get pretty far in communicating with all kinds of other beings.</description>

		<description>That's been part of my interest in ham radio: these people have to pass tests to use these frequencies. Once they do, what is it that's important to them? What do they talk about?

I think what I would say is welcome, thank you for talking to me. I'd like to learn from you and I hope I have something worth sharing with you. 

I don't think it needs to be a whole lot more complex or esoteric than that.</description>

		<description>So...is it a problem that there are myriad ways to communicate and that all beings can't communicate with each other, because they speak different languages? 

Apparently languages are dying out. But there are possibly new ones being created, there are secret codes being created. 

So say you came up with a universal language that could be understood by all humans, animals, plants, angels, demons, etc. What would you say?</description>
