I heard an article on NPR on the radio that there was an article about people who, polyglots, people who learn a lot of languages. Yes. And there was some line of thought that learning multiple languages and thinking in multiple languages are somehow negative in human development. Why? They didn't elaborate too much on that. From my previous experience in studying language and learning multiple languages, I found it to be a good source. of finding common denominators and finding subtle way. Let me put it all this way. As we have said, and this applies, are you paying attention? Yes. Are you sure? Yes. All, all tools, all techniques, all rituals, all rituals, all concepts, all concepts, all symbols, all ideas, are permission slips. You give yourself permission to be more of yourself by using whatever technique or tool you believe is relevant for your current system of beliefs that will allow you to let go enough to give yourself permission to be more of yourself in whatever way that seems relevant to you at the moment.
Maybe tomorrow you will change your mind. But if it works for you now, use it. If it doesn't work, work. Don't. It's that simple. So anytime anyone proposes, this will do this, this, this will do that, this will work, this won't. That's all relative. If it works for you, then that's where your belief system is, then that's what's relevant as a permission slip for you. When you change, it may no longer be relevant. But if it works for you now, use it until it doesn't work. Then use something that does. And just keep doing that. Does that make sense in your language? Yes. All right. Does that help? It helps. Thank you.
