Greetings.

At the beginning of the year, 2019, what do you have in your dreams?
I have a huge one which probably nobody has dreamed yet. Why don't you see it together?

God granted the ability to imagine the far past and future beyond one's life only to humans as part of their nature.

It is necessary to analyze our present conditions to go forward in our real lives, but also it's important to imagine the origin of where the human became "human" and the sustainable ultimate ideal future, to make sure that "now" is on the line to connect both images, right?

I dream of the ideal society in the future like this:

[The society which returns all territorial lands, waters and air to "the earth"]

The present earth is divided into nations.
The nation has its territory and people to govern them in their own way. Nature of land, sea and air divided by a border belongs to a country, or a somebody possesses a part of it. This is our reality where we live now.

But it is not the structure which nature produced, it was raised by humans history. The land, the sea and the sky are originally the surface of the earth, connecting and circulating everything to make one globe being pregnant with rich lives.

That means, will there be much possibility that the structure of national possession is overturned if human ideas would change in the future?

In the next era when strong will spreads to build up high walls around a country and the nation's mind, people might want to remove any exclusive walls from their environment and their minds.

Let's fly to the ideal future society.

For a creature on the earth, the sun which is his energy source is his father, and the earth which takes that energy to bring up all lives is mother. Every citizen of earth is a sibling of that family.

The siblings thank and respect their parents, and live on the base of the society where their joy is helping each other to live long lives harmoniously with nature and the family, making the most of each peculiarity.

A little more materially?

The land, sea and air of the earth's surface belong to mother earth, and no one else possesses any part of them. Humans can live in one place or travel around, while paying "a reward" instead of a tax to the earth and the universal system with gratitude for their support. Also some of them voluntarily serve for the mother earth's longevity by their study or actions.

Everyone has consciousness connected to everything that exists. So one tries to look for the point to understand the other whom he feels repulsion or doesn't understand, not putting up a door against him.

One has the freedom to settle down to continue his native traditional culture, while having freedom to move around and to learn other cultures to investigate new ways of life.

One can let himself loose from "the fixation" such as land or documented religious precepts, and can keep loving essential "traditions" through his free choice.

When taking off the fixed frames of nationality and territory, one would face the spirit of his tradition with his will more than inherit it formally, also his thoughts of his heart to think in spirit of the earth and ancestors would thicken more.

Regardless of race, one has friends and family whose sensitivities affect and coexist while respecting each others freedom.

The citizen of earth is given protection and basic education to be born and raised, and basic income is guaranteed because adults do some charity work depending on ability.

By those systems, they test one's ability without anxiety and show their best and live positively.

The global government has windows to accept opinions for its plans and administration from any citizen. These opinions are analyzed with the aid of AI, and influence the governing and activities. The government pushes forward a plan while always disclosing information to ensure the harmony of the people.

Also there are always "ears to listen to" personal troubles in the society not to store them up and burst into rage. Many elderly people enjoy the part of listening voluntarily.

The energy base of the global society is not depending on competing to defeat the other, also not on the rat race for the ego. It is a cooperative society to create harmony as an orchestra. Each one challenges to do his best for other people.

The human is a kind of animal who originally set up to feel happiness by making others happy and survived according to that peculiarity. The people in the future world are going to return to the origin.

In such a society, millionaires filling their pockets is not comfortable. They voluntarily contribute to infrastructures of the new world, and know the joy and happiness of helping others. The difference of the poverty and wealth decreases, and the relationship between people goes to be more equivalent.

The people in this society connected through nature to cooperate don't hate and don't want to remove different religions, ways of thinking and cultures. They perceive a difference as a stimulant to widen their vision and thought and bind it together to new ideas and creations.

A cause and a motive to commit a war, terrorism, a riot and an evil deed disappear when such a base is activated. Nuclear weapons and armament expenditures become unnecessary, and the provision and preparation corresponding to the negative event including the police, prisons and criminal-related laws are also largely reduced.

The human resource and the budget once allotted for these purposes can work for building more comfortable societies and for searching for unknown worlds. The people live for beauty and truth rather than power.


[The reality?]

"Do not talk in your sleep. Watch reality!" If you say so, your reality must be on the premise that "the competition base" that nations compete to pursue national interest is unchangeable.

The nation does not mind deceiving and threatening for more national interest or to take hegemony. The one with the control power wins. The ones who are coaxed by propaganda are foolish. The entire world is rolled up in information warfare, diplomacy warfare, economic warfare and sometimes even an actual fighting with armaments, and the ways influence the attitude of personal economic activities and morals.

The financier makes their capital multiply by just moving it from one country to another, using "the difference" between cross-national resources, product, personnel expenses, value of money, tax rate, exchange rate, and so on. While their wealth gains gigantic increases, the number of the poor who are not provided a place to live in, jobs and  education increases. So the difference between wealth and poverty continues enlarging.

The people run for "competition" and the world moves in the system. The hegemony struggle goes on from a thought that only world conquest has a way of "unification." But no nation wants to be ruled over by force. Nobody wants his own tradition to be neglected. So the energy against a conquest always works, too.

The people get exhausted by this present world with these endless competitions and struggles, and might easily have an image of the end of the world for the future.

When counting up the reasons that we cannot realize an ideal world, you cannot get closer to the ideal.

Isn't it the time now to deepen an ideal image of the more mature global society and to work out "the way" to make the dream of the evolved society come true?


[Language supports the social base]

What will make it possible for the rudder which could break the preconception that past history built, and changes a base of the global society from "competition" into "harmonious cooperation"?
The base here means the base of the way of thinking relating to where the society is headed for.

The thought is not born without "a language." And the structure of the language controls the way of thinking of the user.

English is now used in the widest domain, and is learned as a second language among the most countries. Its origin was formed while ruling races were often replaced and raised branches and leaves in the constant  struggle between nations.

The U.K. holds the hegemony of the sea in the Age of Geographical Discovery, and colonized continents and islands including India, North America, Australia, and governed them. So in those areas, English has been used as an official language, and made a big expansion. Furthermore, in the present age, English led the departure for the dispatch of scientific information, computer, IT, and SNS, and it came to be used as common language all over the world.

Would the world turn on "a competition principle" before English spread so widely?

In the history of continuous struggling, English took in vocabularies from other cultures to raise its ability of expression, and make the logical power stronger to put self-assertion through, and added devices to beat efficiently, and English is now strong and competitive.

Also such an English diffused the capitalism based on the free competition principle and extended the society which competed to the top of the pyramid in the world.

The time when the whole global society affects is the first experience for human beings. If humans wish to keep harmony in the global society, they need to forget the basic idea to compete for defeating others, and to create a new language based on cooperative and harmonious relationships. The creation of the language with all peoples together would start to make this world shift to cooperative. Then each of them should use both languages, the traditional one and the new one, to think.

The human race has followed their culture by each mother tongue, and has developed their history. Traditional language is important. One can lose even who he is without the traditional language; also he can't get his ancestral memory and wisdom without it.

Since the Age of Geographical Discovery, several thousand minority languages and cultures already disappeared, but approximately 2,000 languages still exist, they say.

As far as using the common language that harms them by its spreading, inequality of the world base continues, and we cannot expect the evolution of global society.

[The evolution of human society comes with both traditional and auxiliary common languages]

When the animals evolved, they did not change entirely but restructured their system while inheriting the past. Homo sapiens inherit the basic structure of the life support from older animals.

In Homo sapiens, the evolution of the brain was remarkable, but its weight did not extremely increase.

The part of the human brain which controls linguistic function can put mass memory in and out, and got ability to imagine in combination. And the evolution was carried out by high speed transmission of each neuron, and the structure of the memory which neurons change the connection with other ones to make various neuron-combinations to hold various memories. The new system made it possible to hold large amounts of memory out of limited amounts of neurons and to imagine what is not in real time.

God granted the hardware: such parts of the brain evenly to humans, but it does not work without the software handling a concrete language.

The software in the brain does a unique way of working in every race. Because it works with each race's wisdom and custom along its unique environment and history.

The language of the hegemony country is also one of such unique software.

Even so, if the hegemony language is globally unified in its software, throwing away others, the global society would lose much wisdom and information and become distorted.

It must be clever to use both each traditional language and the new common auxiliary language together, while developing the new brain software with the whole global family. Otherwise, is there a way to make the world connecting all equally, and to make evolution for a sustainable global society?


The human gets a sense of distance and the three-dimensional impression to an object by having two eyes and two ears.

The thought is the same, too. An image can have depth by seeing from two different bases together: one base works in each language and culture inherited from ancestors, and another base is common and it works depending on nature and recognition elements of human beings.

The planets do not go around the sun with a perfect concentric circle. Each one goes around its elliptic orbit, but they are bound together as one system because of having the sun as their common axis.

When people communicate in a common axial language, anyone can feel some gap with the mother tongue base. However, the thing becomes the background to forgive each other about their "ambiguity."

Nature itself has some vagueness. Any border is vague when observing between species of plant and animal, between sexes and between kinds. The new existence seems like to be born by swimming across vagueness.

Unlike a mathematical language, it is an important condition to permit some vagueness to link various unique people to a circle.

The new auxiliary language is used with the user's traditional language together to mediate global communications, but the purpose must not be only for helping a global communication. If so, it can't be widely spread.
It should help every individual person's thinking in various ways by compensating the lack of functions of a traditional language, by giving another aspect, by compactly arranging information, by assisting to bring up creative ideas, etc. It is natural that the duty and the structure of the auxiliary language are different from a traditional language.

It was 30 years ago that I first got the idea of such a new language, naming it "Earth Language (EL)," and begun to work out the concrete system of the plan. The reason why I tried hard to prove that the unprecedented structure could be created was that I wanted to get rid of war from the world.

I did not notice that it could be the big method to wipe out borders eventually from the earth, and it could be the way to evolve human society, until last year, 2018.

The world suddenly started running to division and segmentation in 2018, calling for anxiety and fear. The year for me wasn't easy, too, by letting me know that a life time has limitation. My organs have gotten out of order under the influence of the accident of the backbone two years ago, and I realized that a life could be kept normal when the parts worked in right way connecting all together for a healthy body.

The global society is also a big living entity. What we have to think of now for sustainable future is not to put up the walls, but to take them off fundamentally. EL works for that particular purpose...., I finally realized it.
(The EL website has not yet mentioned the point, still keeping the premise that a nation still continues, and introducing EL mainly as a useful communication tool with the function to arrange information.)

I wrote about the summary of the concrete device plan of EL in last year's news letter. (* http://earthlanguage.org/2018LetterE-J.html）
So here, I add some comment about what could be changed on the thinking way of the people by using the EL system.


[The tendency of the thinking way with the language based on "nature" and "the linguistic brain system"]

The universe started to be from nothing with infinite energy by repetition of dividing and connecting.

The structure of Earth Language has learned from the constitution of the universe and from the mechanism of the human's linguistic brain, to increase its vocabulary: it distinguishes the meaning or function of the symbol by a method to change the connection between foundation elements in various ways, while arranging information.

Nature consists of permanence and change, and a change widens variety. Also nature has hierarchy characteristics and the resemblance phenomenon among categories, too. The foundation elements of EL are unchangeable things learning from the structure of nature. A change or a culture is formed and expressed by combining some of these elements.

This structure make the users think on the foundation of  human beings, and sometimes lets them return to the origin to see themselves objectively. The society of such people seems to become hard to be swung around by emotions and the things just in front of them.

Also this structure brings people's power up for their expression and understanding by their own devices, while reducing their quantity of memory, and lets them think while feeling of the infinite background from where any concept comes out. Therefore a person would become hard to lose sight of himself while living in a flood of information.

This system opens a new concept by variously trying combinations of elements, and it can be a method to bring up a new creation. The new idea to be born in sequence continues letting the society be vigorously active.


The physical world began from the separation of whole into Yin and Yang polar regions. The universe is the field of the electrical flow having the plus and minus polarities. Good and evil are the images that humans produced for their expedience. The idea that distributing the world into good and evil, and putting up walls between them to exterminate evil is not proper in the rationality of nature. The important thing to make the world stable is to balance and harmonize the polar regions.

EL has many binary forms of symbols to suit adversely to each other. Each of them shows its direction clearly in the image, and at the same time, it calls the reverse image together, too. Visual symbols do works at once. So, the user develops sense of balance unconsciously through binary formed symbols. 

The sound has the nature that disappears as soon as uttered, and the vocal rule can be easily changed. Contrary to it, the shape has the property that is going to remain.

It is natural that the base of the widely everlasting language is "the shape" that is going to remain. On this basis with the sustained consciousness, the people will come to make decisions backed by long and wide view consideration, imagining that it could transmit to far descendants, and not to run about for a momentary thought.

As for the sound words, pronunciation takes time, but the shape can be instantly distinguished. In addition, the hieroglyphic simplified symbol is universally easy to see the content, and also the symbol can be shown by various methods, such as by writing, by shaping or moving a hand or hands, by the entire body movement or gesture, and by the sense of the shape with tactile difference, etc.

Therefore by learning only one system of EL, the people get a variety of choices for a way of the transmission, and a social connection becomes wider and more meaningful. And it could work as the preparation not to be troubled with mutual understanding when one's body got in need of it suddenly.

A sound is a wave. It swings feelings. And the mother tongue that soaked into a body may come out automatically with feelings. On the other hand, a visual symbol to convey for a long time is quiet and objective. Don't you feel fun with the world equally to exchange content by a letter or a hand or body sign while people talk using each mother tongue?

The sound wave peculiar to a race is with the original soul that came from distant ancestors. No one wants to pronounce the name incorrectly. When we have the hieroglyphic formation of the organ of speech and the scientific pronunciation indication, any name can be pronounced as close as the original sound, also the users will leave a descendant taking good care of sound identification.

In addition, when a deaf person tries his organ of speech depending on the sign system, he can catch a sound as his somatic sensation, and it might make him easier to do reading lips. Both the definition system and the phonetic system in the language lives a long life without spoiling both functions, when the functions of them are distinguished in the usage. (All Alphabets have lost their correct phonetic functions over their history.)

The physically impaired people can positively make use of their unique wisdom by sharing the same EL with ordinary people,  and they can activate their entire society, too.

A person can be healthy when the cells and organs work holistically in his body. The whole space is connected as the wave being transmitted through the vacuum, too. The people can't but raise the awareness that the whole is connected by using the holistic system of EL which a variety of functions and contents lead to.

Don't you feel that the world seems to be linked as a family, if you share the development of such a language? Competitions and debates must continue over the way of the development and the concrete plans, but may not cause a war. And the circle of the global family would grow up whenever they solve opposition.

寒中お見舞い申します。
2019年の新春、皆様はどんな夢を描きましたか？
おそらくまだ誰も見ていない巨大な夢をここでシェアさせてください。

現実は？
「寝言いうな。現実を見ろ！」と、仰せのあなたが見ている現実は、
国家が国益を追求する「競争ベース」を不変の前提としていますね？

過去の歴史が築いた先入観を破って「競争」から「協奏」へと地球社会のベースを変える舵きりは、何によってできるでしょう？
ここでいうベースとは、社会の動きを決める考え方の基盤です。

天は、そのような「言語脳」というハードウェアをヒト共通に授けましたが、それは、具体的な言語を扱うソフトウェアなしには働きませ ん。

地球社会もまた、大きな一つの生命体です。健康な地球社会のために今考えねばならないのは、循環を障害する壁を立てて回ることではなく、根本的にはずすことではないか、そ のために 「地球語」 は働くのだと、ようやく気づいたのでした。

（地球語ウェブサイトではま だ、 国家が存続することを前提とし、情報整理の機能を持つ便利な伝達手段として紹介しています。）

地球語の具体的なしくみ案の概要は、去年の年頭便り後半（* http://earthlanguage.org/2018LetterE-J.html） に書きましたので、ここでは、そのしくみが人々の思考にどんな傾向をもたらすかについて付け加えましょう。
