We are able to express our understandings in a language (words) which does not contain many Being-in-the-world terms except by hyphenating them to imply a state of existence within yet beyond the constructs of everyday language. Other groups, languages do have these distinctions. We are able to do this because one's internal comprehension isn't only tied to conceptual structures of existence but to the perceptual as well.

     Perceptual awareness is the first thing all of us enter into. Watch babies as they grow. Words have been looked upon as the development of a higher state of the growth process. "Baby said a word!" Everybody feels good about this. But the spirit is beginning to express itself to others who are perceived in the immediate environment. It is an expression of the comprehension of a multifaceted input perceived by its Beingness. 

    Beyond and before words, Spirit existed and began it's voyage through time and Space.
