LANGUAGE is the first thing we meet in our BRAIN
LANGUAGE is the first thing we meet in our BRAIN, when we are still unborn, incomplete, and defenceless in mother’s womb.
As soon as the basic neuronal cellules gather in “active unities” they do as our computer does when it is not well connected with internet which means they “try to access” the outer world by their own means.
The “ENTITY” brain-body is a bundle of nerves, of high-voltage contacts, that has a unique aim: get as many information as possible of the environmental situation in order to develop best possibilities of contact-feedback, to improve its positive growth, and to reach the highest “scores” of survival mission.
Why do we love music and rhythm? Of course because it reminds our mother’s voice and heartbeat.
Mother’s voice vibrates in foetus ear, and reaches its brain with a strong solicitation of other neurons related to senses and feelings: when mum’s happy she sings, and releases relaxing chemical particles, that reach the baby… singing, therefore, is good.
When she is angry and shouts, adrenaline is high, and tenses the nerves, which is not good.
“Singing is good feeling and attitude, shouting is bad feeling and attitude. Got it.”
Other sounds, all sorts of sounds, come to us from inside the womb, and the forming-baby listens to them during all its “in-life” long, until it will be born.
However, the brain feels the difference: mother’s voice and her body-sounds are stronger and nearer to the ear for inner vibrations, the outside sounds and voices are feeble and less clear because they vibrate less sharply…
“That’s strange… there must be a reason for that difference…I’ll check out later”
There’s the predisposition of the brain to a new program: check the difference.
It’ll lead the brain, months later the birth to investigate between the separation of this now still unique ENTITY “mother-me-world”
As soon as the brain reaches a stationary level of physical development, it is almost complete to reach upper levels such as: comprehension and communication.
The baby’s brain tries to “UNDERSTAND” what the sounds mean, because they often are ASSOCIATED with same situations… thus association might be the first intentional brain development action.
The next step of association will be … IMITATION which is to: “ associate my behaviour to yours”.
So the baby is now “prepared” to IMITATE , but it cannot do it there, all alone in that mild low-lighted atmosphere of the womb.
The real game will be outside the womb: communicate with OTHER.
(“other” means everything that is not ME, even light, air, people and objects, everything).
Of course, before the “entity brain-body” MEETS language, it will meet other challenges, but meeting implies the ABILITY of ACCEPTING and face the OTHER.
Later even mother will be other!
So when the brain WANTS to understand, it’s of course, a natural route towards self-acceptance… there’s the first moment of LIFE (as feeling alive).

What's new...with HALLOWEEN!
BLACK COLOUR IS GOOD FOR ADOLESCENTS !!!
In western society we do always avoid to dress children with black colour, because it reminds us the colour of mourning, death, suffering… Their dress is always made with joyful colours, and we almost pretend it’s for them, to make them feel positive to life…
Well, I suppose it’s especially for us adults, and against bad luck: children may like black, but you can rarely find it in any dressing or educational outfit.
Have we asked them if they would like to have a black T-shirt? Anyway not any mother would like to see her baby dressed in black!
Till now I can remember children dressed in black only at carnival :only the witch, the doctor, Darth Vader… and now even Spiderman has a “dark side” (one red, one black!) . The only good one is Zorro, as an exception, the first step to think of black, to think of action in the society…
I’ve learnt that the desire of adolescents to suddenly dress in black is the “mourning of their childhood”… well I think it’s really different, it’s their declaration to us that they want to try to play as adults with the colour that we have avoided them to use… but only as a GAME yet!
Effectively IT’S THE PARENT’S MOURNING of his son’s childhood, but for the adolescent IT’S THE beginning o f the “PARTY OF REAL LIFE”.
And HALLOWEEN is the moment where all children are allowed to dress awful.
Attentive and intelligent parents,( far from our modern and technological society!) the Celtic parents, let their children at least once pretend to be awfully dangerous and black, and face Death, dressing its outfits… and parents dressed too (as it happens now) and laughed, maybe bitterly, but silently, not to influence the children to grow up and go away. Which is the hardest sacrifice for a parent, a decent one.
Everywhere, in ancient world cultures, BLACK and DEATH are often used in stories and dances.
To immunize, strengthen, and not to fall in the dangerous hole of fear, attachment, control, excessive safety manners…
(This is my own personal opinion according to my studies and contacts with life-experiences of the adolescents’)

Prix Nobel Littérature 2008 "Le Clézio"
What's new...with Nobel Litterature 2008
A man that writes and wants us to know how everyday life really is where we don't know... no magic, no cult, no wonderful images from a no-where land; magic is under the petals of a flower, as well as violence, as torture, as dreams, as deceptions...The "there-place" is always attracting to us, but we generally know what superficial culture, made of money, and travel agents, want us to know... we think it to be so different from ours; yes, under some aspects it may be, but the blood of it, the substance has the same flavour as our everyday life, and sometimes it's more "spicy"... or even "bitter", though enrobed with laughs, smile, childish happiness.We think to our life, every moment, and often we forget there are billions of lives around us on the globe.Well, good news then, someone has pointed out the hidden faces of life... we're not "alone"!
