NOTES for Act 2:6
The sermon of the apostles the day of the Pentecost allows us to glance into the Kingdom on a certain unexpected side for us, looking at it from the inside and having seen it the eyes of those who live in it in all the possible fullness for a yet non transformed man. In particular it reveals to us something important about these forms of communication that are possible in the Kingdom. Of course, in the Kingdom, and in our world transforming, but not yet transformed, the word plays an immense role not only as a means of communication in its purest form, reduced to the transmission of information, but also as a form of expression and the implementation of these senses that we want to transmit to others.
And the sense is not only limited to the contents, it supposes, as say the modern psychologists, an intentional coloration, supposes our relation to the communicated information, without which one can’t speak about the sense. And this relation, for its expression is in need without doubt in particular of a living language, of its sounding, of its external form. But, on the other hand, it is just in particular this external sound form of the language that is quite often a hindrance not only on the ways of communication, but also in the process of the expression and the implementation of the senses. Here there is also the language variety, and the limitation of the forms of every concrete language.
As seen, in the Kingdom these obstacles are overcome, and are overcome not on the ways of a certain transformation of the languages as such, but by means of direct, immediate transmission of the senses from man to man. Indeed, the quantity alone of people and the tribes enumerated in the Book of Acts, listening to the apostles, obliges to forget about the possibility of any verbal communication: even if the preaching apostles were suddenly capable of speaking in all the tongues of the world, they were very few to preach simultaneously in all these tongues, as may be required by the public.
Obviously in this case, was exactly a direct, immediate transmission of senses, which each already implemented into words himself, and moreover (what is not surprising) in the words of his native tongue. As seen, literally the communication in the Kingdom is not disturbed by any individual differences, including the tongue, which of course remain: because on can’t speak about any leveling, about any uniformity in the life of the Kingdom. When it comes to the implementation of the communicated and perceived senses, man is absolutely free: perceiving what is communicated without distortions, he finds a quite adequate tool for the expression of the received. Such communication enriches spiritually the Kingdom and its inhabitants.
