Why do we write to the left or to the right?

Foreword

2007-09-04T06:25:00.000+02:00

We are going to study the direction of the writings which in Europe is always from left to right, or from the inside of the writer to the outside.

There are many other writings going from the outside (the righthand side) to the inside (the lefthand side) which can be found in every day life and are widely used in the world.

In practice those who write from right to left have no difficulty for doing so or at least if they have difficulty they do not say so and under certain circumstances it would be appropriate to see how they manage. For what reason ? Because for the lefthanders writing by the lefthand by means of the Latin alphabet there are problems more or less artificial caused by the European practice of such writing.

In fact there are no real problems but in the school they do not understand why a child writes as in a mirror with the left hand (from right to left) to follow the outside movement made by the righthanders or refuses to write with the left hand toward the inside precisely because he wants to do as the others do, i.e. writing toward the outside.

However, the Arabs for instance write from right to left to the inside, with the righthand if they are righthanded, this being equivalent for the lefthanders to writing with the lefthand from left to right to the inside.

Any confusion occurs because the reason for writing in the one or the other direction of writing is not known (is it only a random practice ?) and still less explained.

The following tries to show what the direction of the writings means.

1. Language mysteries

2007-09-04T06:20:00.000+02:00

Languages use vocal sounds sometimes musical sounds contrary to music which requires instruments to be produced. Languages are taught to students to more easily permit communication between nations.

This chapter appeared necessary to clarify the following proposals. As a matter of fact, left-handers reversed or not are often “gifted” for languages but not inevitably for linguistics. Some dedicate themselves to unconsciously take another personality. “Being gifted” means anyhow : having good possibilities but working intensely.

We shall shortly treat here the phonetic structure of languages, in particular distribution of consonants and vowels and the symbolism that can be found therein.

At the age of 8 or 9, I was already interested in this subject, for instance, words in Hebrew inserted into comments on the Bible. Later on my deepest linguistic diving occurred into the ocean of Japanese hieroglyphs which I studied from time to time with much stubbornness.

For a Frenchman the most useful languages are English and Russian. During their best periods Soviet people have produced very cheap dictionaries and saved many condemned languages.

Professor Claude HAGEGE the man of fifty languages says what follows in respect to the linguistics in “The man of words”, pages 295-296, Fayard edition, 1985 :
“ The scientificity obsession drove it to clothe oneself with a false rigour of which the pattern is found nowhere, including the most vigorous sciences. Fascination for formalisms finally confined it into the narrow cell of a technical discourse of which we have difficulty to imagine that it has the man of words for its object, since not only the historical and the social are evacuated but the human is a definitive abstraction, and the words say nothing”.
(When he is asked how many languages he speaks he gets nervous. I fully understand this reaction since the question is stupid in view of his perpetual search for perfection).

At school it is usual to consider a language as a group of written signs. Illiterate persons have apparently much greater facility to learn and speak an unknown language. Does this mean that knowledge of the writing diminishes the capacities of learning a language ? Not directly, but clearly languages are a creation of the ears and the voice rather than the eyes. An easy proof is that small illiterate children succeed in this field without many problems and that the same will do so with much more difficulties later.
All of this to say that ears are the main motors for acquiring a language.

Starting from this principle it appears that the first effort is to learn how to pronounce, rather than to write the language, since the first apprentice, a child, only listens to and reproduces what is heard after a period of habituation.

The “dead” languages, ancient Latin and Greek, have become visual languages the understanding of which is not difficult (?) if one spends enough time to study them. It is therefore an exercise, a research favorable to the mind but leading to no communication with others. The utility of studying the dead languages is to find the origin of such and such words of a modern, derived language to explain them.

Very different is the study of a language called a living language, the purpose of which is to understand and be understood in a very short time by a foreign visitor. To this end we have to learn the pronunciation and possibly relate it to the writing corresponding thereto.

Taste (“gift”) for languages

2007-09-04T06:15:00.000+02:00

Taste for languages is very precocious; it appears when it is needed for instance upon travelling and staying abroad but this is also a curiosity and frame of mind which result from a passion for the research of sounds and meanings and etymology.

I believe that those who have a very good sight are solicited by the visual aspect of the things and probably will not devote themselves without necessity to the solution of linguistic mysteries dominated by sounds.
Languages are of the same kind as the voice and therefore belong to the central part of the human body : head, voice, breasts and sex. Music is something else : it appeals to the ears and the brain but as a natural consequence implies a tendency to actively reproduce sounds by means of the voice or instruments, thereby using the members (hands, mouth and cheeks), therefore, the manual tools of the person.

Why do we make efforts to understand a (difficult) language and reproduce it. If this is not for the absolute necessity of communicating with a foreigner, why should we do it ? Moreover, such study is made not only to give own’s opinion but also to play a role and take the place of someone else (mimetism as regards sound).
This activity intervenes also in the imitation of voices according to which the imitator actually attempts to take the place of another. It is a role that creates illusion since one tries to reproduce all intonations and, since the television now dominates, also the gestures of the star impersonated.
This is not an ordinary role since it becomes a need and a necessity after a while. Another aspect of this activity is that one can only imitate what or whom he likes somehow.

How is it possible to learn a language that would be spoken by nationals of which the habits, the culture and the country are not appreciated ? Similarly, how can one imitate someone who is detested ? This is not possible.

In their young years it was not possible for certain persons to learn for instance German, a language of their enemies during the war. Furthermore in their case it was the only foreign language learnt at school.

The situation improved since, because of the circumstances and the forgetfulness which little by little is reached due to replacement of the generations. One might also hate the scholar method of teaching languages : it has not much success with politicians !

Original method of learning languages

2007-09-04T06:10:00.000+02:00

It is because of a dead language, Latin, that we can start to be seriously interested in languages. In fact, either we understand something of the Latin language or not, because it is very different from the modern languages . If the mysteries of the grammar cases showing the mutual relationships of the words are solved easily by the student this gymnastics can serve later for studying Slavic languages.

In Russian also there are cases and no article and often no preposition and rather a change in the word inflexion as in Latin. But Russian is a living language, it can be pronounced, this is the great difference as compared to Latin and the other languages the exact pronunciation of which is substantially lost !

To start with the study of a language one has first to learn the pronunciation from the spoken language while not losing sight of the writing system if there is one; thereafter, it is time to absorb vocabulary to be pronounced correctly, i.e. as many words as possible, even if one does not understand them entirely.
A good method used to learn Russian is listening to the “news” (not what they call “varieties”) from the radio, now TV, and searching very quickly to find words from the dictionary simultaneously with listening to them. Obviously, one cannot understand the sentences but get used to the pronunciation and quickly makes hearing progress even though only one word out of twenty can be detected. The same applies to the English which has a very difficult pronunciation, mostly illogical in respect to the spelling.

Then why not start with the grammar as is done in the school ?
Simply because the grammar tries to organize the words in a useful and syntaxic way but what is the utility of arranging the words in order if you do not possess any word ? When we have the ears full of words it is necessary for understanding the sentences to have notions of grammar but not too much in a first time to prevent grammar from overriding the substance of the language, namely, the volume of the words that one is able to control. During this phase one can understand, and above all speak to, a foreign interlocutor who will be encouraged to reply since your good pronunciation will make him believe that you speak fluently.

In summary, the efficient method of learning languages is 1) first pronouncing, 2) then memorizing words with the correct pronunciation and 3) finally arranging them in coherent sentences based on the experience of the grammarians.

The fundamental problem when we listen to a language spoken by its usual speaker is to seize the general concept, get used to the rhythm without being scared by the elocution speed and despite this, keep an analytic attitude so as to be able to understand a little or even the totality of what he says. We should not have too much illusion : we attain a certain level which is more or less high and which we shall not be able to exceed.

There are obviously a significant number of sorts of language, different vocabularies and how distinct grammars, but as a whole, since the human mind forged them the structural laws of the languages are very similar. The differences in treatment of the sounds roughly correspond to geographical situations, North and South, Europe and Asia.

To appreciate these differences one has to consider that analytically the word is composed of syllables and the syllable of consonants and vowels. Both of these are the two skeletons of the syllable which are often disguised in the various writings (syllabaries, characters, and so on).

Since we speak at the level of the phonem ( = sound) it is of little significance whether the Latin, Arabic, Russian or hieroglyphic (Chinese and Sino-Japanese) writings are used. One can hear, more or less distinctly, depending on each of them, the consonant-vowel couples, which form the syllables in all languages.

Languages distributed as a function of the geography

2007-09-04T06:05:00.000+02:00

Languages distributed as a function of the geography

An interesting question is whether languages can be distributed geographically by observing the relative number of vowels and consonants they include.

EUROPE

If one examines the situation in Europe we observe that the Latin languages are not equal from this point of view ;

French possesses 19 vowels and therefore about the same number of consonants. I obviously speak of sounds, not the letters of the writing.

Italian has only 5 vowels : a, e, i , o , u (= oo),

Spanish also,

But Portuguese has a lot of vowels about the same as French,

English has many vowels, short, long and diphthongs. We can consider English as a partly Latin language since everybody has noted that its vocabulary is double : both Latin and Germanic with many doublets, thereby explaining largely its world wide success, in addition to the fact that it is the language of the most largely known country in the World.

The Germanic languages, with German as the leader, also comprise the Scandinavian languages and Dutch. Apart from the latter, which has fewer, all have many vowels and more and more as we go further north. There is even impoverishment and often disappearance of certain consonants which are written but mute (see the finals of some of the French words).

- Referring again to Italian, Dutch and Spanish, especially the first and the third, one can say that they are consonantal since the possible modification of intensity ( therefore meaning) of sounds can only occur from the consonants, the vowels being little varied, therefore common and insignificant as they serve as supports without any true changes.

The other languages, especially the Germanic, the Scandinavian, including Finnish, and English and French are vocalic since the vowels are varied and can imply an emotion or meaning (length, shortness) accent, in addition to the tonic stress.

- Russian and other Slavic languages.

If we refer to Russian it is obviously a vocalic language, the vowels have differing sounds depending on their place in the word ; one cannot say the same as regards the others : Serbo-Croatian, Polish and Czech, which have a very rich consonantal system, with a spelling almost purely phonetic.

- Hungarian and Rumanian :

Hungarian, related to the Finnish by the syntaxic system has many vowels : it is a very musical vocalic language. Rumanian is Latin, very likely vocalic, despite its resemblance to Italian.

AFRICA

If one moves further down to the South and Africa we meet :

- The Arabic language which as everybody knows is based on consonants; its vowels, not written in the current speech, are 3 in number : a, i, and o (= oo). (three sorts of “women” : the normal (a), the slim (i) and the fat (oo)). Nothing can make us doubt that it is a consonantal language which expresses itself by a great variety of consonants.

- The African languages proper have little varied and repetitive vowels. Therefore they are generally consonantal languages.

LANGUAGES OF THE PACIFIC

In contrast to what occurs on the Continents, the languages of the Pacific populations are special and have only a few consonants despite the proximity of the Equator and despite the fact that these people are further South, but near the Equator on few, little occupied islands.

Hawaiian for instance is very deficient in consonants and has many vowels, short or long, and many diphthongs. As compared to the French alphabet, it is to noted that 14 (!) consonants are missing : b,c,d,f,g,j,q,r,s,t,v,x,y,z. Consonants h,k,p,l,m,n ensure most of the primary and secondary roles of replacement.

It is to be noted that Japanese also uses consonants k,h,m and n, a lot. The l does not exist : it is replaced by a slightly rolled r.

Chinese has no r (the r as seen in the Romanized writing is pronounced zh (as in Jeanne, in French)) but an l, very frequent.

Without exaggerating too much one may say that on the Continents the more you move to the North the more vowels you find, therefore more languages expressing themselves by vowels to emphasize possible intensity or variability.

The temperate Countries (for example, France, Portugal, Hungary) have as many vowels as consonants.

Vocalic and consonantal languages

2007-09-04T06:00:00.000+02:00

VOCALIC AND CONSONANTAL LANGUAGES

But what do we imply by the vowels and consonants, the words and sentences ? Without taking any risk one can believe that the sentence as a whole is the community which speaks the language, for example the village or the country and that in such context the sentence may constitute an adequate representation of the street. This is public representation which obeys accepted rules as the pronunciation, the spelling and the kind of writing.

The words in the sentence are arranged according to a hierarchic diagram and each constitute a family composed of syllables which are couples generally, a consonant and a vowel in the simplest case, as well as children : vowels and consonants. There is a radical difference between the meaning, the pronunciation and the structure of the consonants and vowels but one can find clearly therein the representation of the man and the woman.

As already said this is a representation of the public life of the people which speaks the language. Generally, the people which has spoken a language for a long time has the language it deserves since for centuries they searched for, transformed, polished and modified it. All of this to note that if we examine a language as regards the distribution of the vowels and the consonants we can have a certain idea of the role of men and women in the public, official life of the people which speaks the language.

In this order of thoughts, we note quickly in Countries such as those forming Scandinavia that there are many varied vowels as compared to the consonants : we can conclude that the role of women in public life is significant. This remark is not limited to what is written but what is pronounced : the mute consonants and the short and long vowels and the number of vowels (Finnish).

In temperate countries with vocalic languages the role of women and men is about the same, even though in the actual, statistic or professional situation it is not always true, there is at least the very promising possibility that the society is not opposed to it.

When moving South, with the consonantal languages the role of women is little varied (little variety in vowels, they repeat themselves a lot) and further South their role is almost absent. We speak of the public life, well schematized and organized. In the countries of Arabic language there are 3 vowels (a, i and oo). These vowels are not even written, save for small signs neglected in the current writing. This says a lot on the role of women in such countries (please refer to next chapter).

Modern Hebrew in Israel which is a resuscitated language has vowels added upstairs and downstairs but they are very little mentioned in the current writing.

The Turkish language with varied and multiple vowels is now written by means of the Latin alphabet that replaced Arabic writing due to the decision of the genial dictator, Atatürk, who expelled the Sultans and modernized the country. It is certain that the Turkish language and even the civilization as regards men and women relationships greatly benefited from this replacement. The qor’an is written with both alphabets.

Incidentally, all modern dictators modified the writing to communicate or dominate : Hitler by suppressing the Gothic alphabet, Stalin by eliminating a few letters having a cross therein or being doublets and Mao or his successors by attempting to find a phonetic equivalent to Chinese characters and by ordering simplification of the latter.

As seen above the languages of the Pacific islands have an enormous deficit in consonants and in these countries women are very dominant with matriarchy and polyandry.

In the Chinese language they use for each syllable a consonant (first) and a more or less complex vowel. It is actually the

Empire of the Middle as regards the equilibrium between vowels and consonants. The consonant is in the first place. The writing develops vertically between sky and ground !

In the Japanese language which uses Sino-Japanese characters in

addition to two Japanese syllabaries we note the presence of 5

vowels (in the syllabaries) : a,é (ay),i,o, u (oo) and much more

consonants. This consonantal enough language is based on the

vowel-consonant couples, with a single independent consonant

n, and apparent domination of consonants since i and u disappear often in the pronunciation to break up these perfect couples.

Since the vowels are of a double significance because they are either short or long in the Chinese roots, very often combined by two, it appears that the language is at least as much vocalic as consonantal. We conclude that a Japanese person does not contemplate life alone and that solitude (outside the couple) results from accidents, apart from the rare exception of the n.

It is certainly a balanced society, (male) chauvinist (machisto) enough, in which women have their own place (dependent or hierarchized in the couple, and a place indistinctly present in the mono- or plurisyllabic Japanese word represented by the character) from the linguistic point of view.

Like the English (Latin and Germanic) Japanese is composed of two linguistic funds (old Japanese and old Chinese), the islands generally keeping all the influences absorbed during centuries.

One word on the languages which are spoken in the country of

origin often a colonizing country and the other countries

influenced or conquered by the colonizers. In general, we

remark in the pronunciation a propensity, in the countries having

adopted the conquerors’ language, to intensify the consonants or

the vowels according to whether the original language was

vocalic or consonantal (see the USA, Canada, South America and

Brazil).

English in America amplifies the pronunciation of the

consonants; the same applies to Canada where they say for

example : Canadzien in French by amplifying the consonants of

the dien-group.

Similarly in Brazil, the vocalic Portuguese underwent a consonantal mutation of the same kind : the initial R (= initial r or double r, which generally is pronounced R = French r, in Portuguese, instead of being rolled as is the other r in Portuguese) is almost pronounced as the Spanish jota or German (Polish) ch.

The colonized Countries of Spanish language tend to have a pronunciation in which consonants fade out or are transformed (double L); therefore they have less consonants than in the colonizer Country.

This results from the influence of the partition and the geographic distance.

The tonic stress or other accents

2007-09-04T05:55:00.000+02:00

THE TONIC STRESS OR OTHER ACCENTS

We have not as yet spoken of the intensity accent, the melodic accent and the emotional accent. The intensity or tonic accent (stress) is not very strong in French and most people ignore its existence. It is only when they try to learn a language that they note its existence and believe that it is significant.

As a matter of fact, in French the intensity or tonic accent (stress) is on the last syllable of the word or a group of words. The best example of a stress on the last syllable of a group is in the expression : keskeséksa ? (= what is this ?) with the stress on the last syllable. One might say that the last to speak is right.

In the other European languages there is a centralizer accent which obtains the function of chief of the word and one cannot ignore it since very often two accents placed at different places in the same words permit to refer to a different meaning. The stress therefore has distinctive role for indicating the meaning.

In the English language with a centralizing stress the latter determines the pronunciation of the vowel on which the stress lies; the vowel will be long rather than short as in the other syllables and there will be two distinct pronunciations, sometimes very different for each vowel.

This language considered wrongly as very easy (perhaps for the eyes) is on the contrary very difficult since each word despite a few empiric rules on the pronunciation must be pronounced again and again until we can reproduce the word correctly. Try to pronounce correctly an unknown patronymic name without knowing the possessor. The same vowels according to their place are therefore pronounced differently, being short or long, thereby giving very different sounds.

The spelling, resulting from a secular piling up of words of Latin and Germanic origins plus the terms resulting from other languages, more or less digested with an English sauce, is obviously anything but phonetic. For example a sweat shirt, a shirt provided for perspiration, is not a sweet shirt, i.e. a soft shirt, despite the presence of vowels ea and ee which sometimes are pronounced the same as a long ee.

Another language having vowels that change under the respective stress is Portuguese where the vowel o, not under the stress, is pronounced oo instead of o under the stress.

Russian also has a very strong centralizing stress which modifies the vowel o into ah when it is not under the stress. Moreover, in the same word variations in the place of the stress permit to obtain differences of meaning or case.

The Scandinavian languages have a more or less centralizing or melodic stress (Swedish) with also a torture of the o, depending on whether it is or not under the stress; with Finnish being stressed regularly on the first syllable.

Spanish has very regular stress rules, the exceptions being shown by an acute accent visible on the exception syllable.

Italian on the contrary has a stress on the penultimate syllable as Spanish generally but when this is not the case nothing shows the situation of the stress apart from the usage and an accent on the last syllable. If Italian was easier the French would not say on the TV : campionissimo emphasizing the SSI whereas the stress is on the NI, this faulty stress ruining at once the reputation of someone who is supposed to speak good Italian.

The very related German and Dutch languages have a stress on the heaviest syllable which is detectable easily.

The Hungarian language, this poetic and musical marvel, has the

stress on the first syllable, as is the case with the Turkish, Serbo-

Croatian and Czech (Slovenian).

Polish has nearly always the stress on the penultimate syllable apart from a few words of foreign origin. The latter languages have a purely phonetic spelling so that after a very summary study one can pronounce Polish, once it is known how to pronounce the groups of consonants assembled to produce one sound.

The number of consonants which are apparently without any vocalic support in these Slavic languages discourage foreigners. Those who speak them do not understand either that one does not write : karfur instead of carrefour (a spelling forged by years, not by phonetic ideas). Cardinal VrK, a Croatian, cannot go unnoticed abroad.

Summarizing, in most European languages there is a chief of the word (family !) which is either fixed or variable depending on the word inflexion case.

In Arabic, a language having a very clear articulation (!), once the individual pronunciation of the vowels and consonant is mastered, there is no great need for a centralizing stress. However, the written language is not sufficient for understanding Arabic due to the absence of notation of vowels.

In Chinese the stress is clearly shown in each syllable which is independent by itself through a melodic accent which varies as a function of the meaning to be expressed. The sound (musical) height which is distinct as a function of the syllable to be expressed is not the same. These tones are four in number in the Putonghua (at the beginning the language of Beijing (formally Peking)). The same applies to the Vietnamese (6 tones).

Japanese which unquestionably is the modern civilized most difficult language in the world because of its vocabulary and its writing has little stress. The stress usually is present in the words of Japanese origin with several syllables and is not very emphasized. It also applies under the same conditions to the other words composed of two or three monosyllabic Chinese roots not recognizable as such in the pronunciation except for the length (one syllable) and without any melodic stress.

The Japanese language is so conditioned by the writing that the sounds alone are not sufficient to furnish the meaning (too many homophones). See in this respect the characters which appear during the news of the Japanese (satellite) TV. These written indications are indispensable to avoid errors.

In this respect it is the opposite of Arabic which has more spoken sounds than written sounds. The written comments appearing during the news never contain vowels.

Seizing the sounds

2007-09-04T05:50:00.000+02:00

Seizing the sounds

We could speak now of a method to “catch up” the sounds from the speech of a foreign person even if one does not understand completely what he says. The essential problem is that he speaks freely in a natural manner with a rhythm which is always too fast for a foreigner : one is lost in the details or has a feeling of lack of concentration. Literally one is not able to follow, and get stuck to, the speech. In a short time we lack concentration and lose the thread. We can follow up the rhythm but will understand something only if enormous progresses of vocabulary and elementary syntax were made. We will need time.

The method to be followed is simple : in the same way as there are consonantal and vocalic languages

- some people have a stable (continuous) level of elocution on the vowels (lower lip) and simultaneously a variable level on the consonants (upper lip),

- and others have a stable levels on consonants (upper lip) and a variable level on vowels (lower lip).

With little practice one can easily detect where the stable level is : the voice is either upstairs or downstairs. One cannot follow both levels at the same time i.e. one cannot follow both the vowels and the consonants. One has to be based on either ones as a function of the type of performance of the speaker.

For the same individual the stable level is always at the same place and this is the easiest to follow. In principle men speak on a stable level with the lower lip and women with the upper lip.

(Exceptions are many and have all the same cause : reversal of

laterality)

Be that as it may, the manner of not being distracted and of being concentrated is following the vowels only, leaving the consonants, or following the consonants, leaving the vowels. What seems more difficult is following only the vowels since a language without any consonants seems entirely deficient. Let us try the above manner and it will be seen that this is a means to remain concentrated when all the environment invites you to be deconcentrated.

When progress has occurred the rhythm of the language will invade the student without analyzing so much and he will only have to search in the dictionary for the obscure words which will appear in his mind in the written form. The dictionary is designed for that purpose.

With a child of a few years it is simpler : he only listens to it and stores and his faculties increase with time (growth) with time, whereas with the adult there will be a slow, voluntary acquisition which is much too conscious. He does not grow up anymore and no longer benefits from the natural acquisition amplification resulting from the growth !

2. Comparative study of the directions of the writing -- Cultural and social consequences

2007-09-04T05:45:00.000+02:00

This study of the directions of the writing (to the right or the left) does not appear to have been made in the manner described in the following.

The selected evaluation method can be considered as arbitrary, repetitious and complicated, but if we intend to understand the importance of this direction of the writing each point must be examined in detail.

The original specific purpose consisted of understanding the symbolic consequences of the writing of left-handers who are bound to write toward the INSIDE.

In fact, when I started to write with the left hand I noticed early enough that :

1) this “movement” (cursive script) of the Latin alphabet was making me move toward myself, which was not pleasant because I had always written toward the outside,

2) this movement consisting of going to the right with the left hand urged the eyes to the right and perhaps activated cerebral elements related to the right hand,

3) maybe this was practically the same action as writing with the right hand,

4) and that others, the Arabs, for example, already were making this movement (first hand toward secondary hand). By taste I had no intention to imitate this movement, which in my opinion was equivalent to refusing modernity or was contrary to a technical culture.

Then I searched for, and found, an evaluation method by means of which I could determine that :

the writing to the right (external) intends to act directly on material elements,

the so-called Arabic writing intends to act upon material elements by passing in front of oneself, therefore by consulting the human beings prior to exiting from the other side,

the Latin writing of the left-handers contains consonents and vowels as does the writing of the right-hander,

the Arabic writing does not want to include vowels.

Therefore it became possible to understand the differences and to show the significance of the directions and contents of the writings.

At the beginning prior to the writing proper they used drawings, then shortened drawings and thereafter systems, first graphical and then less graphical, in order to record the essential of the semantic contents of languages.

The initial writings were representations of the objects which, as the analysis was progressing, have become well thought-out images of such representations, which gradually will produce phonetic signs, i.e. syllables and finally consonants and vowels, to form sounds or dissected, analyzed and reconstituted phonems.

At present, Humanity utilizes, according to various particular cases, in combination or not, hieroglyphic signs (directly derived from drawings), and syllabaries and alphabets. Therefore, the three steps in the writings are still present. Thus, we can find :

- The Chinese writing which until now was written in columns but now tends to be written from left to right in the horizontal direction, although nothing would prevent its being written from right to left since the characters constituting it are each all in one piece and have no physical bonds between one another.

- This Chinese writing is also used in Japan, together and in combination with, two syllabaries formed from skeleton letters based on ancient hieroglyphs and utilized for national or foreign words respectively

- Hebrew and Arabic are alphabets (individual consonants and vowels, the latter more or less absent) and written from right to left.

- The other writings of true significance are : the Latin alphabet of universal use, the Cyrillic alphabet and the Greek alphabet, which are written from left to right.

Sense or direction of movement of the writings

2007-09-04T05:40:00.000+02:00

Sense or direction of movement of the writings

The main purpose of a writing is actually to record the sounds of a language which are formed of phonems, i.e. one or more consonants and one or more vowels and secondarily, the tonic and melodic stresses and the rhythm.

The result intended by the proposed method is to bring out the meaning of the direction of the writing and the way of recording the sounds (separately or in syllables or in a character) and particularly detect the differences between the two main directions of writing.

The direction of movement of a writing is never officially treated as being significant and worth studying or is never considered otherwise than as a matter of chance (hazard) by learned persons, or if they speak of it, they do not disclose the explanations they could find. Indifference in this respect is the rule for lack of imagination or interest.

Since the writing, which is used to memorize the sounds of a language, finally conditions the manner of speaking it, by recording its characteristics for future generations, it is significant to try to understand all of its aspects.

What will be said in respect to the direction of movement of the writing and the meaning of its dynamic configuration as being the symbol of a linguistic system, which is an explanation of the main communication means used in public life, is based on the idea that upon practicing a writing there is a passing movement of the hand in front of the individual who writes and therefore a reaction of his various body parts following such contact.

This reaction may be denied but it remains that it exists and is worth considering.

For instance, if the hand movement is such that it is moved from the individual to himself or from the individual to the outside of himself there is obligatorily a specific reaction upon him as well as acceptance or refusal of the writer.

The ancient writings above all move to the inside from right to left and modern writings move in the majority to the outside. For what reason ? At first sight, it is as easy to go in one direction as in the other when it is written on stones or parchments. If there is a difference of sense of movements it is because they wanted it positively.

In one direction (to the inside) we go to the human being and in the other direction (to the outside) we start from the human being to go toward Nature. One acts mainly in public life either upon the human beings or upon things depending on the direction of writing.

This is the great difference. One may also consider the columns of the Sino-Japanese writing which move from the top (the sky) to the bottom (the Earth).

Tentative construction of a symbolism of the writing

2007-09-04T05:35:00.000+02:00

Therefore, we will try to understand what happens when one realizes this writing movement by passing in front of the various parts of the body which logically must react due to the movements to the inside or the outside depending on the laterality of the person who writes.

The writing also moves down in columns (Chinese) while columns are piled aside to the left, or lines are piled up to the bottom in the horizontal writings.

The main starting idea is that both sorts of fundamental “phonems” of the language, namely, CONSONENTS and VOWELS respectively represent “male” or “female” entities which by contacting each of the 4 successive zones of the human body in the horizontal plane (one side, one half-torso, the other half-torso and the other side) which can also be assimilated to “male” and “female” elements, alternatively, REACT either by reinforcing an element of the same polarity (development of this entity : man) or by uniting itself with a complementary and opposite polarity element (liberation of such entity : woman).

In the four sectors or zones of the human body appearing in the horizontal direction there are the two member groups which are used only for the actions and the central double part having upstairs the brain proper and downstairs the second brain, namely, the sex, which reflect the thoughts and emotions.

When one contacts, or moves in front of, the elements intended for the actions (members) it is logical to think that in one case they become developed or reinforced or that in the second case development or reinforcement of the other type of action is permitted.

When one moves in front of the double center, the location of thoughts and emotions, not actions, connections with the other sex or respectively with the same sex are developed, all of this being at the highest level (copulation in one case and chief or God, in the other), since the center is dealt with.

What happens when “male” and “female” phonetic entities (consonants and vowels) move in front of the body elements of the “male” and “female” types ?

What happens when one moves to the inside or to the outside of one’s body ?

The fundamental idea, supporting the symbolism proposed to understand what the writing in the concerned civilization means, is that

1) when one moves in front of the members intended for action :

the contact of the hand of the same polarity (on the same side as the hand) develops or reinforces the characteristics related to the writer,

whereas the contact of the hand with a zone of the opposite polarity develops or permits development in the other sex of the characteristics related to the personality of the other sex.

2) when it is moved with this hand in front of the two “half-centers” (the seat of the intellectual, sexual, hierarchical and metaphysical connections) :

the contact of the hand having the same polarity as the contacted half-center develops the culture and the normal relation with the same sex (God, religion)

the contact of the hand having the other polarity with respect to the contacted half-center develops the sexual relations with the other sex.

Use of the "sex" of the consonants and the vowels

2007-09-04T05:30:00.000+02:00

The complementary idea is that, in its movement in front of the individual, the writing, which is substantially phonetic, even in hieroglyphic writings, the characters of which have all one or more pronunciations, develops itself by MENTALLY and SYMBOLICALLY disclosing the characteristics of the consonants and the vowels, as well as the connections between these two types of phonems.

In fact there is no question of suggesting the physical creation of a single vowel or a single consonant when it is moved in front of each of the sectors considered. We only deal with symbols to permit evaluation; moreover we can neglect the vowels and the consonants to replace them by the words “male” and “female”.

Furthermore, it was explained that in the subconscious mind related to linguistic values the idea of “male” is translated as a consonant and the idea of “female” as a vowel, due above all to the fact that the consonant, being dependent, needs the vowel to obtain a sound (= the child), whereas the vowel has an independent life producing a sound (= the child) by itself and much more resembles the role of a woman in life.

In all languages even those which do not show this clearly since they are obscured or masked by writings which are not suitable or correspond only partly (Arabic with respect to Iranian which is very vocalic and therefore would require to better represent vowels but this is not the case of the usual Arabic) there are at least two distinct elements which determine phonems or combined phonems.

As the human body in the horizontal direction is subdivided into four sectors of alternate polarities which represent male or female characteristics, alternately, and as the consonants and vowels represent in the language (and in the public communication life) these male or female polarity ideas respectively, the movement of the hand, which is the principal hand, therefore the male or female hand as a function of the sex of the writer, successively contacts a (male) consonant sector or a (female) vowel sector.

Consonants-consonants contacts and consonants-vowels contacts obviously produce distinct special results, namely, of competition or reinforcement (contacts of the same sign or polarity) or connection (contacts of contrary signs or polarities).

Obviously, for a woman the main hand will be “female” (vowels) and for a man “male” (consonants) and a corresponding reasoning applies to each.

The use of the one writing rather than the other, the direction it takes (to the right or the left, or from top to bottom) must necessarily have an effect upon the culture of a population.

Additionally, it represents as does the language, means for uniting the individuals and an image of the political and intellectual organization of such population. Thus, by analyzing the structure, the external or internal or vertical movement and the composition of each of the writings, it will be possible to draw a few interesting conclusions on the cultures.

When the hand moves in front of the members and/or the central double part of the body all of these elements unmistakingly react, following these writing movements, and in fact, generally in front of any other movement, even a disorderly movement.

Furthermore the body elements comprising : the first member, plus the two half-torsos and the other member have not the same “polarity” since they lie on the one side or the other. It appears that in the horizontal plane it is moved alternately in front of the four sectors respectively corresponding to the member, both half-torsos (the central part in all details) and the other member. Therefore, we see a first and a third sectors of the same polarity while the second and the fourth are of the other polarity. Why the first and the third sectors are of the same polarity ? Because the member is controlled by the brain hemisphere located on the other side (sectors 1 and 3 or 2 and 4). In fact said hemisphere (half brain) is prolonged by the half torso and the half sex.

Since the main hand is designed by Nature to correspond to the respective sex in its functionality and meaning, we can say “male” and “female” instead of negative and positive, as would be the case with polarities, when the body elements are designated.

Therefore, the voluntary writing movement if effected with the main hand which corresponds to the sex (polarity of one sort). This hand moving in front of the four sectors considered causes them to react.

Moreover, the hand is used to act as a representation of the individual; it is the symbol thereof. Its movement in front of sectors of the same polarity therefore constitutes a movement representing the conscience and the specific activity of the individual having the sex considered, while the movement in front of the other sectors of opposite polarity would rather represent the activity of the other sex or the subconscious.

Finally, since words are written, we may also think that moving in front of a sector of the same sign as the hand causes symbolic formation of one of the elements of the vowel-consonant phonem which corresponds to the sex considered. This replies to those who believe that such movement is only a movement for creating a word (without distinction between vowel and consonant).

The four zones on which the hand passes can be designated successively as male, female, male, female (or A,B,A,B) because the members are on opposite sides and therefore are of distinct quality (A,B) and the same applies to the center prolonged up to the brain (2 hemispheres) and the sex (also binary). We note that member A is controlled by hemisphere A on the other side; it is therefore of the same “quality”, the member B being controlled by hemisphere B.

Symbolic description of the writing steps

2007-09-04T05:25:00.000+02:00

(In the following one speaks first of the movement of the hand in front of each male or female zone, in a technical and simple manner. Thereafter, we describe its meaning, which is more interesting and more lively).

a) Latin, Greek or Cyrillic writings

Case of the right-hander

If one considers the Latin, Greek or Cyrillic writings the following distance is covered : one moves from the second hand (women) by forming vowels, then in front of the sector called “male» by forming connections with the consonants (men), thereafter in front of the third sector called “female” by forming connections with the vowels (women) and finally one moves to the side of the first hand (men) by forming consonants. One then escapes to the outside.

Within the body, in fact within the torso, one moves from the heart (left half-torso of the same polarity as the right hand which writes) : the heart is “pushed out”, it is forced to act because it is in the sector of the same sign as said hand.

Case of the left-hander

In the case of the left-hander the following path is covered : one moves from the first hand (men) by forming consonants, then in front of the second sector called “female” by forming connections with the vowels, thereafter in front of the third sector called “male” by forming connections with the consonants and finally one moves to the side of the second hand (women) by forming vowels. Then one escapes to the outside but obviously to the other side with respect to the first case considered.

Inside the body (torso) one moves toward the liver (righthand half-torso, of the same polarity as the hand which writes). The liver is controlled since one moves to it.

Repetitive motions of this sort have repercussion upon at least the imagination and the mental structure of the person who effects them and uses the writing to think, reflect and decide. Moreover the two respective motions of the right-hander and the left-hander (to the outside or the inside) are completely different; their meanings are therefore also different.

b) Chinese hieroglyphic writing

Another writing also completely different is the Chinese hieroglyphic writing, very old but still as alive as ever. It is one of the first writings since as the ancient Egyptian writing it started from drawings which gradually were modified, simplified and stabilized to represent sounds. In principle, each character (hieroglyphic element) of Chinese notes a syllable, with at first a consonant followed by a vocalic sound more or less diphthongized, according to a very strict petrified list of syllables.

According to the traditional system the characters are disposed in vertical columns which move away to the lefthand side of the paper. At present they have a tendency in technical books to follow the European system of arrangement, namely, horizontal lines from left to right which succeed each other from top to bottom.

In order to reason on the motion symbolism of this writing one has obviously to return to the original arrangement, i.e. vertical rows succeeding from right to left. One could actually dispose the characters in any manner since they are integral units which are not united to one another by strokes.

The Chinese writing could also be considered correctly not as drawings but rather a large syllabary with a lot of characters which differentiate homophones by special graphic aspects. One can see that the couple of vowel and consonant cannot be divided because it is indistinct in the character.

The top to bottom motion does not decide between left and right ( = male or female) but stays in the center as seen in the horizontal direction, which represents intellectual and sexual exchanges as well as the supreme chief (God, emperor).

A slow shifting of the columns to the left occurs, the latter representing the other sex or the origin of space (since one cannot reverse time) or the memory.

The descending motion of the hand along the columns can be considered as a motion submitted to the force of gravity, therefore resignation and obedience to the forces of the Nature and the chief, which is upstairs, or else a natural movement to oneself intended for self-control. It is to be noted in respect to animals that they always move forward and that man, in writing, moves to himself or the bottom or the rear to store lines.

In China the development of the couple man-woman (consonant-vowel) is undifferentiated (no independent male or female elements) since both elements in the phonem are undissociable. There is also provided actually a melodic element (the tone). If one moves to the left (women, but also origin of space) since the lefthand side is pertinent here, to arrange the columns (instead of putting horizontal lines one above the other) it is intended to move in SPACE rather than in time since one cannot refuse the sense of the time by moving to the origin. In this aspect all writings moving to the inside, called levogyrous (from right to left), show evolution in space (one cannot return to the origin of time). The others, dextrogyrous (from left to right), move away from the origin and look into the future (= the arrow of time).

Sino-Japanese writing

The Chinese writing adapted to the Japanese is called Sino-Japanese. It includes :

Chinese characters sometimes simplified but not in the same manner as those of Chinese and also not the same characters, since this would be too simple,

And two syllabaries, hiragana and katakana, one for the purely local words and the other for phonetic transcription of foreign (mostly English) words. These syllabaries are a simplification of current, very ancient, Chinese characters the pronunciation of which was known to everybody.

This writing in the same manner as Chinese is used now in books so that the characters are arranged as in the Latin writing. Therefore, we have here both indivisible couples (characters) the pronunciation and meaning of which are multiple and united couples (syllabaries), apart from the letter n, an isolated bachelor, which can be alone; those couples (male and female) moving to the future (the righthand side) by developing themselves jointly.

In both systems, Chinese and Japanese, according to the new form of edition (from left to right), there is a movement starting from the second side thereby producing in the character, comprising both consonant and vowel, a vowel sound (development of the woman, depending of the man), moving to the second and third, central, sectors (intellectual and sexual relationships), producing respectively consonant and vowel relationships and terminating in the first side thereby producing a consonant sound (development of man connected to that of woman) and escaping to the outside.

(It is to be noted incidentally that in the Chinese syllable the consonant (man) is in the first place; the vowel follows).

Now it has become a movement (dextrogyrous motion) of the origin to the future, with movement in the TIME but also with all the subtleties of the hieroglyphs.

In the Japanese system they cared to provide syllabaries to concretely indicate pronunciation as well as characters to express the meaning of the words and furnish possibilities for providing several pronunciations (sometimes, up to ten) for the same character, which depend on the presence of other signs (grammatical environment).

The latter particularity implies a system of a great complexity which makes it the most difficult spoken and written language in the world. The society it implies is certainly not simpler.

The notion of assembling individuals in the form of clubs is also present due to the fact that the characters comprise both at least one double pronunciation (modern Japanese and older Chinese pronunciation) and mono-and polysyllabic Japanese words. Secret (characters with several sounds), due to this, is very present in the public and private life.

d) Arabic or Hebrew writings

The Arabic writing is alphabetic as is the Hebrew writing. They realize an inside motion, from right to left. The particularity of the Arabic writing and also the Hebrew writing is to neglect vowels in current writing.

If need be, for instance in the qor’an or torah which are old, hence subject to lack of comprehension by modern readers, they write vowels in the form of small signs upstairs or downstairs of the supporting consonant letter.

Hebrew writes vowels by small signs upstairs and downstairs but in irregular and non obligatory manner, about the same as the Arabic writing.

The Arabic and Hebrew writings are therefore DEFICIENT in respect to the pronunciation (more sounds than writing signs). It is the opposite with Japanese which requires the writing in order to be understood completely because of the homophones (same thing in a lesser degree for Chinese).

In Arabic and Hebrew therefore, one moves : from the first hand (development of men) by producing consonants, to the center (connections with the vowels, then connections with the consonants) by producing intellectual and sexual relationships, but we STOP there since we cannot move to the place in front of the second hand (vowels) to contact the vowels (development of the woman) because there is NO VOWEL regularly in the writing. Obviously, the language itself has both vowels and consonants.

In fact, one stops in the consonant-CENTER where the chief, the supreme masculine God, Allah or Jehovah are, without going to the other sex to permit its development and public representation.

Writings as a function of the respective laterality and direction

2007-09-04T05:20:00.000+02:00

AS A FUNCTION OF THE RESPECTIVE LATERALITY and DIRECTION we have the following writings :

(Meaning of the hand movements in the form of consequences)

a) Complete dextrogyrous writing of the right-hander (Latin

alphabet)

In the complete phonetic dextrogyrous writings (alphabets of the Latin, Greek or Cyrillic types) one moves from the one side to the other all through, from the origin to the future.

Each individual of the one SEX originally permits the other to develop (1), then provides for his (her) own development of relationships (2) on the intellectual, sentimental, religious and sexual planes (at the double center), moves to the other side by providing development of relationships with the other sex, according to the latter criteria (3), and finally (4) develops him (her)self (education and work) by escaping to the outside (future) and acting upon Nature.

As the central relationships are of equal significance (oneself to the other) and since there is development of women plus ideas of God and chief, before relationships with women, there is also an idea of monogamy (equality in developments).

But the fact of developing oneself after moving in front of the central positions leaves room for the ideas of non centralized chief and God, because one moves further on. Hence, the ideas of Republic and individual freedom.

b Incomplete levogyrous writings of the right hander (Arabic or Hebrew)

In the phonetic levogyrous writings with no visible vowels (Arabic or Hebrew) one moves in the space (from right to left) rather than in the time (from the present to the origin) since time cannot be returned.

One starts personal development (step 1) without taking care of the other sex, then provides relationships (on the intellectual, sexual and religious planes) with the other sex ( step 2), thereafter relationships with individuals of one’s own sex (masculine idea of God and chief) without any public representation of women activity since there are no vowels and one stops (step 3) in the masculine center (masculine God). Therefore it is only intended to have a development specific to the male sex.

One stops in the consonant-CENTER since one does not permit development (public life) of the activities of the other sex. At the central level therefore there are “private” relationships with the other sex and then a personal development with the idea of chief and God, which does not resemble an exclusive union, (the sexual relationships (step 2) take place before hierarchic or metaphysical development) (step 3), but rather polygamy.(The word root is consonantic (men) and the vowels (women) for forming words are interchangeable).

When one moves the hand away from oneself (starting side) to the consonant-CENTER and remains there, it is a movement toward the chief or toward a central God. This is centralization, royalty, theocracy.

There is a blocking in the consonant-center (chief, God, of the masculine type).

We note that levogyrous writers also use more (Jews) or less (Arabs) the Latin alphabet.

c) Complete dextrogyrous writings of the left-hander (Latin alphabet)

In the writing of the left-hander who uses Latin alphabet the writing compares with levogyrous writings generally, since one moves to the inside. Its meaning however is not at all the same as for the Arabs since the great difference is that it is complete (both consonants and vowels), contrary to Arabic.

One moves from persons of his own sex who are permitted development (1), then in front of the center (relationships with women) (2) and then relationships of the same sex (3) with development of personal hierarchic and metaphysic type, and the movement is finished (4) by moving to the individuals of the other sex by making or allowing them to develop, and we escape outwardly on the other side.

Therefore it is a communication system since one moves to individuals of the other sex who represent humans generally.

(Hence, the higher number of complete left-handers who are found in the contact business, restaurants and hotels, as compared to their percentage in the population).

One is not blocked at the consonants-center with the idea of the chief and God, one moves further on (step 4). The outside is reached by passing by the others. This is not a direct movement intended to influence Nature.

Strict monogamy is not inscribed in this system since in the vowels-center (step 2) there are relationships with the other sex, before one’s own development of relationships in the consonants-center (step 3), contrary to dextrogyrous writings in which one develops oneself (step 1) before having center relationships (step 2) with the other sex.

Within the body one moves in the direction of the liver, which then is “controlled”.

d) Incomplete levogyrous writings of the male left-hander (Arabic or Hebrew writings)

In such writings the male left-hander, as the right-hander in the Latin alphabet, starts from the origin (second side = women) to the future (first side) but the origin (vowels) is invisible in the public life (“private” development of women). He moves through the center forming relationships with his one sex (consonants = chief, GOD) and then private relationships with women (vowels are invisible) to finally reach his own development (consonants = work, education) to the outside and escape in order to act upon the world.

There is no blocking (to the only GOD, chief) at the center since one moves to one’s own development (consonants) before escaping to the outside, but the situation of women is still “in dotted lines”.

e) Incomplete levogyrous writings of the female left-hander (Arabic or Hebrew writings)

According to such writings the female left-hander starts from the consonants (permitting development of men) to arrive at the center (invisible vowels = private relationships with one’s sex : chief, non “public” GOD) and then consonants (relationships with men). Finally, one arrives at the vowels (invisible vowels = private development of women) and one escapes to the outside.

There is a blocking in the center (step 3) onto the men (first, private relationships with the vowels, and then, relationships with the consonants = men) since one cannot move up to the vowels (invisible vowels).

f) Incomplete levogyrous writings of the female right-hander (Arabic or Hebrew)

One starts from the vowels (which are invisible = private development of women) to pass through the center (consonants = relationships with men) and the other center (vowels which are invisible = private relationships with the idea of religion and chief) and one arrives at the consonants (development of men) and to the outside.

There is no blocking since one goes up to the consonants on the other side and to the outside but the role of women is in dotted line in the public life.

g) Complete dextrogyrous writings of the female right-hander

Same description as in a) by replacing “women” by “men” and possibly providing a feminine God and replacing “monogamy” by “monoandry”.

h) Complete dextrogyrous writings of the female left-hander

Same description as in c) by possibly replacing “men” by “women” and vice versa, and “polygamy” by “polyandry”. The God or chief may possibly be feminine.

(This GOD is male or female because they want him to be binary but what if he should be ternary (Trinity) ?

i) “Mirror” levogyrous writing of the left-hander

This writing, used generally by a lefthanded child, who notes that the others write toward the outside and sees only this (= to the outside), whatever the hand, and who wants to do the same, is obviously not readable by the other “normal” people.

A famous practitioner of this writing is Leonardo da Vinci who intended to imitate right-handers, namely to write toward the OUTSIDE. No doubt he also wrote toward the INSIDE so as to be undertood by his contemporaries.

Such “secret” writing can be evaluated in the same manner as the dextrogyrous writing of the right-hander but its indecipherability gives it a temporary character with children or constitutes a refusal to adapt oneself to realities, or to the others, or later a desire to create a relative small mystery (see Leonardo da Vinci = refusal ? and mystery). Leonardo being an engineer intended to act upon Nature by moving his hand outwardly.

This refusal might result in a frustration leading to the writing with the right hand. It is a consequence of a lack of explanation of what is implied by the dextrogyrous writing with the left hand and no encouragement to follow his own nature. More liberty is not sufficient in the education. One also wants to understand !

j) Complete “upside down” levogyrous writing by the left hand

In order to be able to realize an external movement by the left hand and simultaneously be understood perfectly, it is sufficient to write “on the head” (= upside down), from right to left, by going upward on the paper and storing the written lines downstairs as in the “normal” writings.

The obvious inconvenience is that the writer must consider the alphabetic letters in the same manner as he can see them, i.e. “on the back”, while he moves to the “top” (toward the front) or to the person who can read him immediately in the face to face position.

Why in the “normal” writing storing the lines downstairs and going downwardly ? For a practical reason, the law of gravity, especially in the first ancient inscriptions on stones. Everybody has stored the hieroglyphs, or the lines respectively, downwardly for this reason.

The symbolism of the “ normal” dextrogyrous writing is to store the lines into the memory (toward the bottom) and anchor oneself on the ground (the development of the lines), from top to bottom, from the head to the lower part of the body, by relying on the experience stored downstairs.

One makes the present by preserving the past.

In the upside down writing the lines are also stored into the memory, but upwardly or forwardly, from the lower part of the body to the head and further on, to the outside. The writer wants to communicate and go to the future, on the basis of his roots; provided of course that the letters are considered as another “normal” alphabet rather than our Latin alphabet “on the back”. Otherwise, the writer would feel strongly that he is “outside” or “on the Moon” as compared to the others.

The upside down writing by the left-hander is therefore a writing toward the outside and to the front. For the right-hander this would be a upside down writing to the inside and to the front. In order to evaluate it, please refer to the “complete levogyrous writing of the left-hander”, plus the notion of movement to the front.

More symbolic interpretation of the writing steps

2007-09-04T05:15:00.000+02:00

MORE SYMBOLIC INTERPRETATION OF THE WRITING STEPS

a) Interpretation of the dextrogyrous writings

Summarizing, in the dextrogyrous phonetic writings one moves from the origin (oneself) to the future (the exterior, the nature). Each sex at the beginning of the movement permits the other to develop, then provides for his own development of relationships in the intellectual and religious plane, goes to the other sex by providing for development of sentimental and sexual relationships with the other sex according to some of mentioned criteria and finally develops oneself (work) by escaping outside (to the future).

As the central sexual relationships (of the second center) take place after the mental, religious or hierarchic development (first center) there is an idea of monogamy. But the fact of moving thereafter to one’s development (work) from the central position leaves room for ideas of non centralized chief (GOD ?), since one moves farther away from the center.

b) Interpretation of the levogyrous writings

In phonetic levogyrous writings (Arabic) one moves in the space (nomadism) rather than in time. On starts by developping oneself, without being concerned with the other sex, then one permits relationships with the other sex (on the intellectual, sentimental and sexual plane) and one moves to provide development of relationships with one’s own sex (chief, GOD). All of this with men, obviously !

One stops and is blocked in center 3 since one does not permit development (public life) of the activities of the other sex. Therefore one does not go beyond step 3 (men) which then would permit to go to step 4 (women) to the outside.

Often, one returns to the past (the origin) as he is blocked in the center, or practices nomadism (motion, but in the space).

Thus at the central level there are sexual relationships with the other sex and thereafter personal development of relationships (in the religious, hierarchic planes), which does not resemble an exclusive union (sex before intellectual relationships) but rather polygamy. If one moves from oneself (starting side) to the center and remains therit is a movement to the chief or a central GOD.

c) Interpretation of the Far East writings

The hieroglyphic or hieroglypho-syllabic writings (Chinese or Sino-Japanese) respectively suggest a movement downstairs (the Earth) or away from the remainder of humanity, without being concerned by the future and the space (no horizontal left-right movement) and also with joint development and without any clear distinction between the sexes. The chief, GOD, element of the central zone is based on Nature (evolution toward the Earth).

c bis) Specific interpretation of the Japanese writing

In the Japanese writing there is both development of the whole family, various diverse families and also the couple only, which is represented by the fact that the characters imply several pronunciations resulting from the grammatical and linguistic environment. The simplified syllabaries are consonant-vowel couples, men and women, without any real choice for individual solitude. Visual aspect (characters) is more important than sounds. Symbols are very significant.

The government is central under very diversified aspects (many pronunciations for the same character) which are adapted to the situations. Consequently, there is an idea of suppleness and variable development resulting from circumstances. The idea of chief and of GOD is also in relationship with the Earth (Nature).

Suggestions for introduction of vowels into the writing

2007-09-04T05:10:00.000+02:00

Suggestions for introduction of vowels into the writing

As regards the Arabic and Hebrew writings, if as assumed, it is important to reintroduce vowels therein on an equal footing with consonants to give equal representation to women in public life, this can be done easily enough by suitable specialists. In Arabic there are three vowel sounds : ah, ee, o (oo) and another sort of ah. Nothing prevents people from reintroducing them into such alphabet as a complete value. It is to be noted that it is not necessary to use the Latin alphabet for Arabic as would be necessary for Turkish or Iranian since there is enough vowels for Arabic in the Arabic alphabet.

Remark on the notion of God

2007-09-04T05:05:00.000+02:00

Remark on the notion of God

Curiously and logically enough,

- - the levogyrous writings, not showing or not much showing the vowels (lesser or zero role of women in the public life) have invented the only GOD, of masculine type (consonants-consonants central relationship /3/), are blocked there and remain thereat; (a complete writing (with 3 and 4) of this type would probably also invent the only GOD),

- - whereas the other, dextrogyrous writings have invented the

- multiple (Latin, Greek) Gods who totally exist nowadays under other denominations : film stars, billionairs, sportsmen and women, scientists, travels, adoration of nature, gourou sects, material goods, all of this developing toward expansion and dispersion rather than centralization and consultation of human beings with the only GOD, since one moves further on from the center up to the development of the other sex and the phenomena of Nature.

Before, in ancient times, GOD was rather female : Mother and Nature (refer to old representation of God mothers). Now he has become masculine at least for men but what prevents women imagining a female GOD ?

(Such GOD is masculine or feminine because he is meant unisexual but if he be ternary (Trinity) ? ).

The direct movement and return of the writing

(to the beginning, i.e. left, right or top)

as a function of the beliefs

The return of the writing to the beginning is quick and silent but unavoidable. It does not include any visible expression.

The hand after its graphical move returns to zero so as to move again

by describing a large zigzag, thereby always producing one move and its contrary.

In the return direction to the inside (Latin alphabet :from right to left) it corresponds to a belief in a single GOD which is officially discreet and hidden since there is no graphical expression.

In the return direction to the outside (Arabic alphabet : from left to right) it corresponds to a belief in several GODS officially discreet and hidden.

It is seen that in the first case (Latin) polytheism (from left to right) is public and monotheism (from right to left) is personal.

In the second case (Arabic) the monotheism is public with additionally rejection of women (absence of vowels) and polytheism is hidden.

In the vertical writing (China) the direct move evolves from the top to the bottom (Earth, ancestors) and the return goes to the top (GOD, Gods) without any indication of unicity or plurality since there is no left side or right side. Discreet belief in GOD or Gods, public cult of ancestors.

In practice monotheism does not exclude polytheism and polytheism does not exclude monotheism or atheism.

A writing of the future (?) creating a graphism in the on and back movements would include both ideas of only GOD and multiple Gods. It is the boustrophedon writing (direct movement from left to right and then in the contrary direction as in a mirror) which was practiced by a few Greeks.

The Christian religion provides for a single God different from Jehovah and Allah in the form of a God in three equal persons. In this respect it follows the two directions of writing of the boustrophedon.

It proceeds from both the Jewish and Greco-Roman civilizations.

Atheists above all reject the single God under the pretext that all religions cause wars. This forgets the fact that the conquest of women and riches always provoked males massacres. No need for racial or religious prejudices which are only pretexts for hiding ambitions.

CONCLUSION

Even though a few will undoubtedly say that the above mentioned hypotheses and conclusions relate to the actual and concrete historical, passed or present situation of the various peoples, and that the writing or civilization are not implied at all, it is nevertheless true that any continuous action, even not understood, of the writing type, gives a specific reaction upon a civilization, especially if it is old.

Primitive unalphabetical tribes have completely different civilizations and store events in very specific memories having very distinct bases as compared to those of the writing.

3. Relation between writing and culture -- Analysis of the terrorism surroundings -- Cultures with unisexual dominance and bisexual cultures

2007-09-04T05:00:00.000+02:00

We are going to analyse the case of terrorists in the light of the above, concerning the writings and the mentioned configurations.

TERRORISTS

They presently threaten a large portion of the World for reasons that refer theoretically but falsely to a respectable and estimable religion.

Terrorism thus appears as a deviancy that no true religion teaching an only God, whether Christian, Moslem or Jewish, can justify and none justifies it.

When religious men (whether Christians or Moslems, for example) are interrogated they firmly say that religion has nothing to do with terrorism. Terrorists whose unhappy and nihilist story is known often started to act in a criminal manner for reasons of political origin.

False prophets or appalling ambitious politicians influence them negatively under diversely engaging pretexts. This is a disturbing and regrettable phenomenon (Ireland and September 11).

Perhaps they forgot completely that before being religious, a human being is an individual who bases himself on a “natural” law which any civilization must respect to survive. These minimum laws have existed well before the “revelations” and appear to be indispensable, though minimal, to live in group.

In a modern State having a non-religious status (among others, France and Turkey) such intolerance is incomprehensible and obviously inadmissible. In the Occident everybody thinks that one can believe what he wants or not believe at all and that such personal faith is nobody’s business. Everybody can be agnostic.

In short, in Occidental States, where from time to time it is spoken of God to confirm a solemn oath, religious freedom is totally admitted.

In order to complete the description of integrism and above all terrorist mentality, we can say that, as seen from the outside, for them all what they do is good, whereas all what others do is bad, which is very practical and simplistic but can only constitute an insurmountable barrier for the others.

Thus it appears necessary to discuss shortly of “the religions of the book” (qor’an, bible and torah) to situate the environment in which they live.

Mohammed, a genius of his time (+632), tried to unite the Arab tribes who were more or less polytheistic. A good means of assembling them, he thought, was to promote an only God similar to, or the same as, the other two monotheistic religions, and he preached with the help of the archangel Gabriel who appeared to him according to the tradition.

“He did not pretend to bring a new religion but rather to restore the old one which God had previously revealed to prophets (and that men had forgotten or altered)” Quid, p.669.

For 20 years until his death he fought with the Arab tribes in order to make them a Nation.

Distinguishing what is truly religious from what is only a tradition is not easy since at the beginning the “civil” chief is also the religious chief. This remark is aggravated by the fact that there is no “clergy”.

A member of this religion can declare himself an imam to preach in the mosque.

The Jews who according to the Bible are descended from Abraham as are the Arabs, by one of his two sons from different women, have also a religion with a single God who spoke to them; and they have a book, the Bible, from which they draw their history and the essential precepts. They have a moral ideal and one cannot say that at present they recommend polygamy, while being very tolerant as regards the sexual morals.

Moreover, they have a “clergy” which is composed of rabbis who try to keep the religion in order. Although they are all cherished by God who “chose” them, the idea would not occur to them of not tolerating the presence of other religions. Of course, such tolerance is partly for historic reasons since they were dispersed to all regions on Earth in which they were a minority.

The State of Israel is a special case : a few millions inhabitants in a country in which the Jews are surrounded by Arabs or at least Palestinian subjects. It is because of this symbolic position that this is a significant and unsolved problem. This eternal war between “brothers” is not understood by the other Nations.

The individuals of the Jewish ethnic group rubbed shoulders with all people on Earth and many are agnostic.

Their culture is often only the culture of the nations they live with, with or without the Jewish culture based on the Bible and on the ancient characteristics of the levogyrous writing (consonants without any apparent vowels). But they have also another culture, the culture of the people they live with : it is based on the characteristics of the dextrogyrous writing (consonants and vowels).

Therefore, with these two religious groups there is a monoculture or a double culture. The Arabic monoculture is influenced more or less and unavoidably by the others but less than in the case of the Jews.

Both “religious” or ethnical groups, Arabic or Jews

have at least one common point : the type of writing moving to the left and the absence of vowels in both the Arabic and the Hebraic writings. The vowels are introduced in the form of small points or signs only, to keep the meaning of the sacred books, the Qor’an and the Bible.

That Hebrew has entirely the same tradition for including the vowels into the text, or not, results from specific information but it seems that the Hebrew Bible obligatorily comprises vowels of the same type to avoid interpretation errors.

With the so-called Muslim Countries, the chief or king is in the same time the religious chief generally and they practice polygamy, if they so wish. Women have no significant influence in the official public life.

The Jews have nearly always a double culture based on both alphabets, Hebrew and Latin. They are therefore not exactly alike as regards the culture.

In order to analyze an important aspect of the Arabic culture one has to examine the manner in which the citizens of such countries are organized in regard to the State and the individual responsibilities, with particular characteristics of the relationships between men and women.

The public and intellectual life is organized in reference to the writing as in all constituted Countries.

Therefore, let us observe and study the Arabic writing and language so as to get an idea of the way they function.

The process of the horizontal writing movement in front of the writer shows what occurs between men and women, as regards personal development and sexual relationships and in respect to the chief or the God. As a matter of fact, one can consider that such movement simulates and integrates the configuration and quality of communication since the writing has the purpose of realizing this communication

The pen or the pencil passes successively in front of one of the members, then in front of the central double part and finally in front of the other member. We establish by documented hypothesis and convention (see above) that each of these four passage elements has a virtual sex, whether male or female, alternately, due to the fact that they are placed at opposite locations.

(See chapter relating to the writing directions)

The members are used to realize actions and both half-centers to establish sexual relationships and/or relationships with the God(s) or the chief(s).

Comparison repetitious enough but necessary between two types of written civilizations

2007-09-04T04:55:00.000+02:00

Comparison repetitious enough but necessary between two types of written civilizations

WRITING from the right to the left (male right-handers)

1) We start then from the side of the hand of the writer (consonants facing the consonants = development of men),

2) We pass in front of the first center (consonants facing vowels = sexual, intellectual relationships, and the like, with women),

3) and in front of the second center (consonants facing consonants = intellectual, affective, and the like, relationships with the male element : the chief, the Supreme masculine God)

but we STOP here since we do not pass in front of the second member (consonants facing vowels = development of women) and we do not go to the outside thereafter, since there are NO VOWELS.

We are blocked in the CENTER where Allah and the chief are situated, without going to the other sex and without permitting development of women. It is a BLOCKING and a CENTRALIZATION.

Consequently, we start by developing ourselves (men facing men) without being preoccupied by the other sex, then we have relationships (on the intellectual and sexual planes) with the other sex (women), without any public representation of the latter since there are no vowels, and we pass to relationships with other men, God, the chief.

We are BLOCKED after the second central level (development of the relationships with individuals of our own sex or oneself : the men, masculine God). As this development of hierarchic or religious communications takes place after relationships with the women (= vowels), who are not visible and play no role in the public life, these relationships are not exclusive and resemble polygamy (no equality between the sexes).

Furthermore, the movement of the writer to the inside is a movement in the SPACE (nomadism) rather than in time to the future, since one cannot return to the origin of TIME (= from the first to the second hand, i.e. from the individual to the mother).

As said before, we see here a polygamous society excluding women from the public life, moving in the space (nomadism) and BLOCKED on the male principle of the CHIEF and the GOD. We can even say that sometimes they try to return to the origin (utopic dream of governmental, or else, perfection).

WRITING from left to right (male right-handers)

As already said a “Muslim” Country, Turkey, benefits from a double culture since Atatürk, another great genius, decided to use the Arabic writing or even Latin writing for the religion and adopt the Latin writing for the rest, among which the Turkish language.

Without entering into the details already mentioned in chapter “Writing directions” we see that :

1) we start from the second hand (consonants facing vowels = educational development of women),

2) we pass in front of the first center (consonants facing the consonants = intellectual, religious development relationships, and the like, with the men, the male God, the chief),

3) thereafter, in front of the second center (consonants facing vowels = sexual, intellectual relationships, and the like, with women or female God),

4) and finally, we finish by passing in the front of the first hand (consonants facing consonants = educational development of men) by directing the hand, and going out, to the outside.

Since the central relationships are equal there is an idea of monogamy (contrary to the religious Arabic “culture”) and since the direction of writing goes from the second hand (origin) to the first there is displacement (in time) to the future. NO BLOCKING IN THE CENTER since we continue to the outside.

Summarizing, we have here a monogamous society, including women in the public life, moving with time to the future and DECENTRALIZED from the male principle of chief (thus giving an idea of Republic) and of an only God (even giving an idea of polytheism).

Cultures with unisexual dominance

2007-09-04T04:52:00.000+02:00

How to relate the “religious” terrorism felt outside as “religious” to these cultures and civilizations ? Can other very different cultures generate such immoral and criminal consequences ? What impresses in the description of both forms of literature and communication and both forms of different public lives between the Occident and these peoples, is that a notation, education and memory system, apparently independent of the known characteristics of said peoples, appears actually to correspond thereto point by point with the help of the analysis, for simple and accurate reasons.

Referring to the two forms of civilizations crystallized in the writings, the first (the Arabic) obviously has characteristics and raises problems which do not result from the second (Latin).

These are : polygamy, cancellation of women in the public life and above all the centralizing BLOCKING, the suppression of any logical and independent discussion and the CONFUSION between the temporal CHIEF and the metaphysic almighty GOD.

Due to the mentioned confusion, each time one touches the material or cultural interests of the religious or ethnic group in question, he also touches the religion, without any distinct chief, which is STUCK to the representation of the temporal CHIEF.

Even though the dictator or any less tyrannical chief is not at all religious in fact (because of his conduct or morality), he gets the advantages and the various consequences of the religion without which, if he did not proclaim his faith, he could not govern.

The writing and its characteristical aspects, its deficiencies or its disadvantages are enormously important in a civilization.

These only reasons are already sufficient to arouse resentments (lack of independence of the religions), revolts (women !) and blind attacks. Why a blind and generalized attack without discrimination between innocents or pretended guilty people ? Precisely, because there is no distinction between the temporal power and the divine power, and no concertation and sharing between men and women in the public life, since there are no women (in the public life). A related attitude, not similar in all points, is what occurred partly in the Middle Age in Europe though the situation of women in the public life was equal theoretically.

This cultural unbalance results from an ancient tradition without evolution materialized by the actual writingand should have nothing to do with the levogyrous writing if this writing would comprise both vowels and consonants.

Body configuration of men and women

2007-09-04T04:50:00.001+02:00

Let us make an attempt to expose a differential body configuration to describe men and women.

If we observe the physical aspect of man and womanwe note that the upper portion of the body of the man is wide (broad therefore ressembling a circle) while the upper portion of the body of the woman is narrow (therefore ressembling a point). The low and broad of man and the high-pitched and high of the woman refer to such geometry. The same applies to the form of intelligence of the one (synthesis = assembling) and of the other (intuition = penetration).

In the low portion of the body this is exactly the opposite.

Assuming that the dominant hemisphere of the two brain hemispherehas a “geometry”corresponding to the upper portion of the body and that the dominant sex downstairs follows the opposite geometry as is well knownone can then use the following tableto describe representation more or less symbolic in the man and the woman respectively :

MAN
upstairs : circle and point (brain hemisphere conscious and subconscious respectively);
and downstairs : POINT and CIRCLE (real and subconscious sex, respectively).

WOMAN :
upstairs : point and circle (brain hemisphere conscious and subconscious respectively);
downstairs : CIRCLE and POINT (conscious and subconscious sex respectively).

The brain (subsistence) does not understand the subtleties of the sex (survival) and the sex does not understand the reasonings of the brain. However the harmony between them gives peace and progress to the individual and the society.

In these civilizations for cultural reasons, the circle (men) is not in peace with the point (women) and the situation is not such that the point could fill up the circle and that the circle would contain the point. The acts of the men are not compensated by the action of the women and the influence of the women by the influence of the men. There is no internal marriage of balanced type (between brain hemispheres) within the individual.
Therefore, with such disequilibrium there is total absence of critical sense and congestion of the public life by pseudo-religious or religious demonstrations.

The usual critical sense is shown as the faculty of distinguishing all facts and real or virtual elements so as to evaluate and relate them again to one another to draw teachings therefrom.

Such possibility is excluded when there are a-prioris and such powerful and deep bonds which go beyond the physical and visible life. Indestructible metaphysic BOND ! Exaggerated sensitivity related to religion and chief !

This explains their global behaviour in respect to the others who are not Moslems but does not inevitably lead to terrorism.
The attack, global or isolated, blind or not, the war in one word, would come from a point (a POINT ?) since the question is to penetrate or infiltrate the “enemy”. It would not be a circle (CIRCLE?) because it would apparently not be a strategy of invasion.
Where does the attack come from actually ?

Cultural disequilibrium between men and women

2007-09-04T04:45:00.000+02:00

One has started from the simple, unsubtle idea that there are a point and a circle (or a circle and a point) at the higher level in each female or male individual respectively. We have added that if there is mutual reversal between the first and secondary hands, the circle becomes a point (and vice versa) thereby causing “disorder”.

We can suspect that the delateralization (reversal) provokes a sort of “twisting” of the configurations so that the point overlaps the circle and vice versa, without until now taking into account the influence of a particular communication (writing, literary or other civilization).

As a matter of fact, these consequences such as mentioned are supposed to exist in any environment, preferably a free one. But this hypothesis of the distribution of the configurations and competences, must take into account, in reality, the existing form of communication, if it implies limitations, so that one can more precisely qualify the ratio of the point to the circle in each individual or population.

Contrary to what occurs with the reversal only, we deal here with cultural influence and phenomenon.

In the levogyrous writing the hand passes in front of, and influences, three elements, out of four, and stops at the third; these passings occur in front of two male elements and one female element. We are not more advanced now but this shows a major solicitation of the male element (circle) when the hand passes horizontally in front of the writer.

We have determined the upper and the lower configurations by the physical aspect of the individuals of both sexes and deduced therefrom the form of the thinking hemisphere and the active member. This “magnificent” construction seems to be entirely satisfactory until now.

It results also that, in the case of delateralization implying the point and the circle (men), these two forms try perpetually to internally marry each other but do not succeed actually. This can thus be considered as neurotic.

The above marriage is internal (between brain hemispheres) and has nothing to do with a real mental (and sexual) marriage between reversed persons of both sexes which in principle correctly works (but not always as there is particular overlapping of one or the other) since they are in a similar situation and can therefore be conjugated.

The internal marriage of lateralized people hardly presents any problem, at least for reasons of laterality.

Starting from this point, we can say that the lateralized men using the levogyrous writing ought to be able to realize, despite the overlapping, this internal marriage without any problems, at least the problems connected with lateralization.

Of course, other problems can occur, preventing such internal marriage but resulting for instance from cultural causes.

Therefore, for righthanded men of such civilization, well lateralized and naturally gifted for equilibrium, we have a project of marriage, internal to the individual, between a circle based on the passage elements 1 and 3 and a point based on element 2 only (of course these are male or female elements in front of which the hand passes). The point is truncated since it is supported by a single element only (element 2 without element 4).
The circle therefore has not any difficulty for “super-encircling” the diminished point; it can even “encircle” and influence, in addition to its point, partly not developed in itself, several external truncated points (women = idea of polygamy, a single “umbrella” protecting several women).

The point itself swims freely in the circle, without filling it up but all this can be personally modified by the individual because this is not a “neurosis” which by definition escapes any voluntary control but actually rather a cultural constraint or encouragement.

It was assumed above that war is the point (POINT) which attacks, rather than the circle, since there would be no patient strategy (= circle) to oppose the “enemy”. We note also that the points (= women) are a minority in respect to public life. Therefore the circle dominates in volume the public life.

However, in fact, the circle plans, infiltrates, distributes the criminals, finances and builds up the murder attempts committed by the points (POINTS). This temptation and attitude are favoured by this type of culture. As a matter of fact, the internal marriage within the individual has unstable equilibrium since there is no equality between the sexes (or the circle and the point in the individual).

Undoubtedly, this phenomenon is neurotic in the event that these terrorist minorities are called for to realize the attack.

If there was equilibrium in this internal marriage there would not be so many neurotic vocations of terrorists.

What is disturbing is a strategy of the continuous type (circle) with multiple murder attempts (points, POINTS). There is excessive distance between the circle and the point so that there is no internal marriage actually. Consequently, the circle constantly tries to encircle the point and the point tries to be correctly situated in the circle but does not succeed for said cultural reasons.

Terrorists are perhaps generally well lateralized but a few reversed individuals belong to this group. With them we have therefore : point, circle, POINT, CIRCLE. If terrorist vocations are present here there will be escape of the points which cannot be controlled by the circle due to delateralization. Hence repeated murder attempts.

(We note that Ben Laden is probably lefthanded ( how much ?) if we base ourselves only on the manner he manipulates the submachine gun in the rarely available TV images).
We might wonder whether he is seriously searched since his height is 1.96 m. which makes him well visible / QUID, 2005/

In the case of Turkey, a so-called Moslem Country, with an Arabic religious culture (the qor’an is also translated into Turkish with the Latin alphabet) and an official non-religious culture of the Latin alphabet type, can the same tendency prevail ?

They should not have this type of disequilibrium due to the absence of women in the public life. They are actually present (please refer to TV shows).

Without treating the question in detail since it is not pertinent today as regards terrorism, we can say that the Kurds have kept the culture based on the writing of the Arabic type, at least according to what is seen on the Kurdish television. According to other information they use both the Latin and Arabic alphabets indifferently.

4. Hypothetic influence of various movements and writing directions upon the behavior of the internal organs

2007-09-04T04:40:00.000+02:00

When we considered the meaning of the structure and the apparent movement of the writings from left to right, or from right to left, without forgetting the vertical hieroglyphic writings of the Chinese and Japanese, we did not take into account what could occur within the human body, as though there was complete symmetry between all the internal elements, in front of which the writing passes in the dextrogyrous or levogyrous directions.

At first sight this is the case for the outside when one observes the configuration of the humans and animals that Nature designed as perfectly double such as two joined twins. But this is not the same with internal organs.

External or internal direction of the writing according to the type of laterality

2007-09-04T04:35:00.000+02:00

In this context as suggested above the person who writes from right to left makes, with respect to THIS SAME PERSON WHO WRITES, a movement to the inside (see Arabic writing) and the person who writes from left to right (the Occidentals and now most peoples) makes a movement to the outside.

One may deduce from these situations, specific habits and developments of the way of thinking and acting, with particular possibilities that can be described. In this context also the righthanded who writes to the outside would consider the lefthanded who writes to the inside as a follower of a type of culture called “Arabic” due to this only reason.

There are however unavoidable shades because the Latin writing comprises both consonants and vowels, even in the left-hander’s writing, whereas the Arabic writing (of the right-hander or the left-hander) does not include any vowel in its normal current use. This situation both changes characteristics and consequences.

Body elements in front of which the writing moves

2007-09-04T04:30:00.000+02:00

It can be seen without difficulty the human body is divided in the horizontal direction into four zones of alternate energies : the hand, the half-torso, the other half-torso and the other hand. Both energies, plus or minus, or negative and positive, their denomination not being significant, succeed one another in the following manner : hand plus, half-torso minus, half-torso plus and the other hand minus. Or reverse denominations since this vocabulary is only a practical convention to explain the polarity difference in the four zones.

Within the human body and for the two zones between the members it occurs differently since the internal organs are distinct in both half-torsos, thereby contradicting the apparent symmetry of the external parts.

A study of the influence of the writing upon the peculiar development that can produce the movements, different according to the adopted direction followed by the writing, is not complete if one does not take into account its influence upon the internal organs. One has therefore to speak of what occurs inside.

Some people say that whatever the hand does during the writing movement or another movement of the ordinary life there is no influence inside or outside the body.

We leave their respectable opinion to them but why not searching further than the simple facts ? Anyhow, there are more unconfirmable doubts and hypotheses than certitudes.

Distinct movements according to the hand and the writing

2007-09-04T04:25:00.000+02:00

DISTINCT MOVEMENTS ACCORDING TO THE HAND AND THE WRITING

a) Movement of the right hand (Latin alphabet)

The person who writes with the right hand (to the outside) starts therefore from the left side (the left hand) and the heart (the right hand having the same polarity as the left half-torso where the heart lies), moves in front of the half-torso of the liver, of another polarity, and to the outside on the side of the right hand.

b) Movement of the left hand (Latin alphabet)

The left-hander in the same activity (Latin writing) moves, from the side of the left hand, on the half-torso of the heart and goes to the half-torso of the liver (of the same polarity as the left hand) while moving to the other side, the outside (the right side).

c) Movement of the right hand (Arabic alphabet)

The person who writes with the right hand to the inside (for instance, Arabs and Jews) moves from the side of the right hand through the half-torso of the heart, and away on the other side, to the inside (side of the left hand).

d) Movement of the left hand (Arabic alphabet)

The left-hander who writes to the outside starts from the side of the right hand through the first half-torso, moves on the half-torso of the heart and away to the side of the left hand to the outside.

Dynamics consequences of movements on the internal organs

2007-09-04T04:20:00.000+02:00

It results from the above :

-that the European right-hander “exteriorizes” the heart urging it to work and express its sensations, since the right hand has the same polarity as the half-torso of the heart and drives the latter into an external movement;
-that the oriental left-hander (Arabic alphabet) “exteriorizes” the liver connected to the left hand of the same polarity, urging the liver to work and facilitate digestion, in an external movement;
-that the European left-hander “controls” the liver since the latter is the aim of the writing in its movement;
-and the Oriental right-hander (Arabic alphabet) “controls” the heart since the latter is the aim of the writing in its movement.

Structural relations between respective internal organs and the hands

2007-09-04T04:15:00.000+02:00

The heart is a motor and the liver a filter; their significance is specific (blood circulation or food filtration) but they are of equal and indispensable importance. One cannot live without one or the other of these organs.

One understands that, according to this hypothesis, the activity of the right hand is related to, and influences, that of the heart and that the activity of the left hand is related to, and influences, that of the liver, whatever the movements, purely manual or simply intellectual and figurative (writing, drawing, art or manual work).
If at birth we are righthanded or lefthanded, without any possibility of choosing, we do not select either which of the two organs is related to the main hand since the latter is provided at birth.

Dynamic senses in continuity of the writing

2007-09-04T04:10:00.000+02:00

Dynamic senses in continuity of the writing

As regards the dynamic sense of the writings, for nearly all known writings we observe that

-it is directed to the heart or the liver,

-it moves away from them,

-or one can make columns from top to bottom which are disposed to the left of the paper.

-Moreover, there is a vertical movement of the hand which moves from the head to the lower members, piling up the successive lines of writing to respond to the gravity.

No people ever wrote from bottom to top in the usual manner. Only the drawing permits this sort of writing somehow. An upside-down writing would evolve contrary to the force of gravity, what is full of merit but has no practical utility, except for showing what is being written to the person opposite. This was not possible in ancient times when at the beginning the writing was realized on stones and various materials, not on paper.

a) Writing in columns from top to bottom arranged to the left

The Chinese and the Japanese writings have such columns. In these writings which now tend to copy the direction of writing of the Latin alphabet to abandon their original direction of movement to take the European movement (from left to right horizontally, for example in patent specifications) one starts from the sky to reach the Earth.

The upper part controls the lower part by means of rows which pile up to the inside. If one considers the internal organs, there is an attempt to control the voice, the digestion and the sex by the head (the second brain is controlled by the first). These controls are memorized in the emotions (piling up to the heart).

b) Writing from the bottom to the top

By moving from the top to the bottom we try to obtain control of the lower part by the upper part. Reversal of such movement (from bottom to top) would mean either that one wants to go forward (from rear to front) or that the bottom controls the top (the sex controls the head, as regards internal organs). In fact, since we write flat on paper, in this case a forward movement is done.

This movement is effected simply by writing reversed letters upside-down, with the right or the left hand, obviously in the direction opposite to the normal writing (therefore, from right to left, for the Latin alphabet) and by moving up with the writing lines (against the gravity) instead of moving them down (following the gravity).

Making this movement in the forward direction is making what is being written immediately available. If one writes normally he accumulates toward himself as if he wanted to fill up his memory and if one writes upside down one wants to go forward, or explain or convince.

Finally, this forward movement which was never adopted by the writers rather resembles also the forward movement of the animal with his four legs since the lines move forward in front of oneself; they move away from oneself and are supplied (not accumulated). Habits are so anchored in people from the beginning that I have no effort to imagine the reaction of most people observing the reversed writing attempts of a searcher having such original ideas.

When everybody will have travelled not only to Thailand or Mauritius but also to the Space, reactions might be different. Furthermore, in the Space without gravity how do they write if they are freed from gravity and the computer, and the control switches obeying to the voice ?

Effects of the writing movements on the internal organs

2007-09-04T04:05:00.000+02:00

Effects of the writing movements on the internal organs

This digression being closed, let us return to what we observed in respect to the repetitive movement of the writing which would produce effects upon the internal organs.

a) Right hand to the right (right-hander or “frustrated” left-hander)

When I write with the right hand to the right in the socalled normal manner (how simple !) whether I am righthanded or refused (frustrated) left-hander I pull out and “exteriorize” the motor of the blood circulation constituted by the heart : appeal to an energy of efforts, sensations, emotions, a certain speed of reaction... All of this occurs because the right hand controlled by the lefthand hemisphere in the brain also corresponds to the left half-torso (the heart) which is on the same vertical line as such hemisphere and therefore has the same polarity.

1) If the heart is of good quality and I am righthanded at birth this happens undoubtedly in the best manner : the heart reacts according to cultural or other elements conforming to the civilization implying this type of writing. The liver participates unconsciously : it is free and wild.

Let us assume now that the heart beats in a manner not conforming to the required natural norms because it would have premature wear or genetic weaknesses; any external movement (pulling out) will tend to tire and urge it to beat more quickly whereas it should perhaps be better for it to slow down to relax.

2) If I write with the righthand to the right and I am a refused left-hander I also exteriorize this motor but since I am using my second hand the heart tends to more compensate and wear abnormally if work and urgency require efforts. If it is of good quality however we shall not see anything especially harmful in these usual exercises, apart from the fact that individuals of this type are rather slow and have no energetic tendency to act physically, since otherwise they would be tired quickly enough. Since everybody knows himself well enough, one does generally what he can, not more. However, some people like being “stressed”.

b) Right hand to the left (right-hander or refused left-hander)

If I am writing with the right hand to the left (Hebrew or Arabic), whether I am righthanded or refused left-hander I am moving to the heart. Instead of “pulling” it out and urging it to work I will have the tendency to control beats, to submit them to considerations related to my culture and to control the heart by slowing it down or adapting it to circumstances.

If the heart has weaknesses is it going to slow down, rest, reinforce itself, with this movement of the right hand to the inside ?

Does a refused (frustrated) left-hander writing with the right hand to the left (Arabic or Hebrew countries) suffer less, from the harmful consequences to the heart caused by the reversal of laterality, than if he was writing toward the right (the exterior) due to the fact that he controls the heart by moving toward it ? Interesting question !

a) Left hand to the left (complete left-hander)

Symmetrically with respect to a righthanded writing to the outside (most people), a left-hander writing with the left hand to the left (Arabic or Hebrew writings : Netanyahu, for instance !) is going to pull out and exteriorize his corresponding internal organ (the liver, not the heart), with consequences inherent to the accelerated operation of this type of essential organ but this is normal activity since he uses his first hand.

b) Left hand to the right (complete left-hander)

A normal left-hander (Bill Clinton, Bush senior) writing to the right (Latin alphabet, to the inside) is going to control his liver and activities related to the liver (digestion, filtration, overindulgence at table).

Particular effects on liver or heart according to the state thereof

Particular effects on liver or heart according to the state thereof

If the liver is of good quality everything is alright; the heart is free and undisciplined, the liver with its concrete or symbolic activities is controlled according to the considerations of a culture and a stylized movement.

If the liver is lazy is it good to control it ? Is it not better to make other exercises to avoid holding up and controlling it in order to make it more free and digest less heavily ?

If the heart is irregular, too quick or too slow, is it good to let it free? Is it not better to attempt to control it ?

That the heart or the liver are free is obviously not bad in itself. The qualities of resourcefulness of the illiterates who have no rigid “cultural” and stylized bondage resulting from the writing are to be noted. The possible problem is that it is easy to overwork the heart by nervous or not nervous high blood pressure or by too much work or conflicts. In this case, very often one observes this only too late, which is not at all desirable. The liver, free and not especially appealed to, can let itself go to excess of food and beverages.

If it is possible to control or civilize these “unconscious” organs why not doing it ? Anyhow, one also tries to exert muscles by making them suffer all tortures, with the most painful being competition.

Suggested practical exercises

2007-09-04T03:55:00.000+02:00

I would therefore suggest a few exercises :

a) If the heart of a right-hander (or left-hander) functions erratically, in particular too fast, I suggest controlling it by exercises of writing to the inside (15 lines in the morning) with the right hand moving to the left (obviously as in a mirror, or upside down, but is it the same ?) to try to control it.

b) If the liver of a left-hander (or a right-hander) is lazy I suggest writing exercises, with the left hand moving to the left (as in a mirror, obviously) to exteriorize it.

c) To control a liver too inclined to excesses I would suggest writing exercises with the left hand to the right.

d) To excite too slow a heart I would suggest writing exercises with the right hand moving to the right (very current exercise !) but is it good ?

These exercises are based as mentioned above on the fact that the right hand is, according to our hypothesis, related to the heart (lefthand hemisphere controlling the righthand side) while the left hand (right hemisphere controlling the left hand) is related to the liver.

An INSIDE movement is supposed to control or slow down the organ while an EXTERNAL movement accelerates it or makes it work.
It is to be noted that one can write in six different manners which can easily be practiced : to the right or to the left (as in a mirror), with each hand, and upside down with each hand (a writing directly read by the person opposite).

Systematic ambidexterity, i.e. not having any directive hand at all, is not natural or “good” since it causes indecision. What is called “ambidexterity” is often only a distribution of the tasks between the two hands rather than actual “ambidexterity”.

This chapter only includes a few ideas which are not dangerous and could be studied further.
Many readers will be sceptical but everybody is free to raise questions and try to solve.

5. Summary of the criteria characterizing both directions of writing

5. Summary of the criteria characterizing both directions of writing

Definition of the writing

The writing is a movement of the (main) hand in front of the four horizontal zones of the human body, in one direction (dextrogyrous) or the other (levogyrous) with downward rejection of its written volume.

Another writing (Chinese or Sino-Japanese) consists of moving the hand between the top and the bottom, with rejection to the left of the written columns.

Influence of the writing

In moving in front of the four zones the hand contacts them differently depending on their respective polarities : A, B, A, B. There result repetitive influences on the individual and the culture, which are distinct as a function of the direction of the writing.

Polarity or sex of the four zones contacted by the writing

As mentioned above the four zones will be successively : A, B, A, B or the opposite, or male, female, male, female, or vice versa.

(Humanity is essentially binary : male, female; beginning, end, and so on).

Meaning of the contacts with the four zones

The contact of the hand in front of a zone of the member of the same polarity as the active hand appeals to the development of the writer whereas the contact of the hand in front of the other member of opposite polarity appeals to the development of the individuals of the other sex.

The contact of the hand with a central zone of the same polarity creates or reinforces the connections that include the idea of chief or God (of the same sex) whereas the contact with a central zone of the other polarity creates or reinforces the conditions of sexual relationships between different sexes. All of this because these zones are central rather than external i.e. manual.

Meaning of the direction of writing

If the writing goes in one direction or the other the contacts do not take place in the same order and therefore will not produce the same effects, finally.

In the one case (to the right) we escape directly to the outside and Nature and in the other case we also escape, but by passing in front of, or consulting, the individual.

In the case of a vertical movement we go from the first brain (the sky) to the second (sex, Earth) while not distinguishing especially the left and the right sides (man or woman).

All of these movements presuppose, produce and support completely different cultures.

Symbolism of the written phonems of a language

It is not required to be a genius to admit that the sentence symbolizes the street, the word the family and that vowels and consonants are respectively women and men. Why should vowels be women ? Because they constitute a sound by themselves (= the making of children) and the consonants need a vowel support to be heard (= invisible role of men in the procreation).

Dextrogyrous (Latin) writing

Through the successive passages of the writer’s hand in front of the four zones we have : development of the other sex, intellectual or metaphysical relationships with the masculine chief or God, sexual relationships with the other sex, and finally development of one’s own sex, and going out to the outside (Nature).

This favors equality between the sexes and “marriage” in the third position (idea of monogamy). No blocking to the chief or God since we go further on (idea of polytheism or Republic since all is on the same plane of equality).

The polytheism in such case is : half-gods (stars and actors), sciences, TV, money magnates, youth, too great importance of humanity as compared to other natural entities, calling all into question, super-importance of the power, and the like.

Levogyrous (Arabic, Hebrew) writing

Absence of written vowels (= the absence of women in the public life).

Through the passage of the man writer’s hand we have : development of our own sex, sexual relationships, “not rendered public” (no vowels) with the other sex, intellectual and other relationships with a masculine chief or God, and blocking in the center, at this place, since we cannot go to the fourth zone (absence of vowels). We do not move out to the outside.

Lack of equality between both sexes, “non public” marriage in the second position (idea of polygamy), confusion between the chief and God since we are BLOCKED there, and often : return to the past (instead of nomadism).

Levogyrous writing of the left-hander (Latin alphabet)

The passage of the hand gives the following : development of one’s own sex, sexual relationships with the other sex, intellectual and metaphysical relationships with the masculine chief or God, before escaping to the outside (Nature). Humanity is consulted before going to the outside.

“Marriage” prior to relationships with the authorities, therefore “marriage” attempts not legally controlled, equality of sexes : polytheism and Republic, as above.

Deficiency of the Arabic and Hebrew levogyrous writings

No vowel is written so that there is no public manifestation of women in that culture. Since one is blocked to the third zone of the writing there is a BLOCKING to the chief or God who are confounded into a single ideal. Return to the past (the starting point, which lies on the right).

In a well lateralized man the first hand (the dominant one at birth) can be symbolized by a circle while the second hand can be symbolized by a point.

In such case the first hand in women would be a point and the second hand a circle.

If we speak of the circle and the point of well lateralized individuals we note the excessive importance of the circle (men) with respect to the point thereby causing a disequilibrium due to a culture form (absence of women in the public life) rather than deficient laterality.

The point “swims” in the circle, therefore there is no internal marriage in the individual. Confusion between God and the chief, no possibility of escaping “religious” government, incomprehension and inadmission of a world in which God is separated from the civil chief. The chief can only be religious : hence dreaming of the perfection of a return to the past, with a chief-God, which gives an advantage to any dictator.

Since one cannot return to the past (one moves in the space rather than to the original time, by going to the inside, toward the individual) and since there is a BLOCKING, they travel in the space (emigration, nomadism).

Levogyrous “culture” with reversed individuals (TERRORISM)

In the reversed man (second hand used as the dominant hand)

we will have thus a dominant point and a dominated circle, as is the case with women.

In the actual case we note a point overvalued as compared to the circle, thereby giving a point which is not encirclable, not controllable. It is not surprising that terrorists are recruited in this category for the usual above-mentioned cultural reasons which are conjugated often with a laterality reversal.

No equilibrium (point in circle and circle around point) is possible and the attempts to institute terrorism reinforced by the brainwashing of the so-called religious dreaming of a chief-God, are irresistible.

All what they do especially the war is HOLY since there is no separation between the non-religious (which they ignore) and the religious civilization.
