Language

Language is the symbols/ metaphors of ideas. Freud spoke many languages- why is that?
His mother only spoke Yiddish. All his jokes in Jokes and their relation to the Unconscious are Yiddish jokes.
Freud wrote in German, as he lived in Austria.There are at least three levels of German language- that is three languages.
There must be interesting brain development for someone who speaks that many languages fluently.
So I will attempt to learn German and Yiddish-Oh vey- not so easy!
Already I see that there is a quality of humour that underlies Yiddish, very different to German humour and of course different to British or American humour (although a lot of humour, comedy in USA comes from Jewish/ Yiddish comedians).
An interesting comment I found about the development of Yiddish language- it was used to maintain secret information that Gentiles should not have- for protection of course, but maybe more. Maybe God's chosen people have knowledge that they need to be caretakers for. Hence the symbols- the non-verbal communication that uses symbols and codes to see who is in the know and who you need to maintain silence. The ability to keep secrets- important to doctors but even more so for psychiatrists.
So this is an important point for my theories about what Freud really meant and where he was coming from.
If there is important knowledge from the distant past, much of which has been lost and much of which has been purposely denied in terms of power- that makes our ancestors very knowledgeable- not primitives as we are led to believe.
It reminds me of the damascene sword- very fascinating that the ancient technology ( nano-technology at that) has been lost and despite damascene swords still available with superior quality, they cannot be reproduced- and we think we are that smart.
Like the library at Alexandria, and possibly the library at the base of the Sphinx- we don't really want to lose the basics of knowledge- we may need them again some day (as Enoch/Noah/Solomon believed.Is that what Freud was trying to code or decode for us?
