Another unifying feature of all languages is the process of learning to speak. Mastery of all languages evolves in seven steps - from one to seven - by using system and method:

7 Spirit Poetry

6 Soul Communication

5 Body Word Power

4 Willing Grammar

3 Feeling Lateralization

2 Thinking Exploring the Acoustic Potential

1 Sensing Affective Gestures

and...
2. SOUNDS

After gestures the child begins to babble to get acquainted with the possible sounds it can produce; it explores its acoustic potential. This is a basic prerequisite to the development of intelligence. The raw sound material is divided into five vowels with physiological locations and 45 consonants originating in the organs of articulation:

Vowels

Head - I (eee)

Throat - E (a)

Heart - A (ahh)

Navel - O

Spine - U (oou)

The five vowels are based on natural body resonance. This was discovered by Hermann Helmholtz at the end of the last century. He wondered why out of the enormous number of vowels possible, only five are used. Using the German sounds for the vowels (Helmholtz was German) he found that the A (in English - ahh) vowel resounds in the heart region, the o around the navel, u (oou) at the level of the sacrum (Japanese Hara), E (a) resounds at the neck and the I (eee) behind the front at the place of the third eye (Sanskrit: Ajana Chakra). With the help of mechanical devices Helmholtz also discovered that the overtones and undertones of a length of around three feet, 224 hertz, make up most of human language.

The consonants which together with the vowels make up the basic sounds of human language have five criteria in 9 places: hard, soft, aspirated, with and without tone. For example:

1 Voice H, tone

2 Throat CH

3 Larynx G, K

4 Palate R, J

5 Tongue L, TL

6 Tongue/Teeth N, D, T

7 Teeth S

8 Teeth/Lips F, V

9 Lip M, B, P

The French philosopher and historian Michael Foucault reports that nearly all philosophers of the Middle Ages based their philosophy on a numerology of 1 through 9 which was tied to this consonant structure. Thus by knowing the meaning of the numerals they were able to create incantations, and in rituals of alchemy and magic called spirits to their aid. This is the origin of magic languages of all kinds.
