Language acquisition of any kind is interesting to me whether it be 1st lanugage acquisition, 2nd language acquisition or written language acquisition. In several different forums lately I have been informed of steps to written language acquisition or reading. The steps are phonemic awareness, sound/letter correlation, oral fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. These are truly needed ingredients in order to read well.
So, I started thinking about acquisition to other "codes." What if there is a language of reading messages from the other (spiritual) dimension. What ingredients would that entail? Probably the same ones. One would have to be aware of the "sounds" of the new language. I suppose that would mean that a person is aware of the basics of God's hand in an event. Next would be the idea that God's actions are correlated somehow to our own. Next would be the act of seeing God's hand in action over and over. One would have to learn how to articulate new and old events well enough for others to understand it. And finally, one would fully comprehend God's actions in his own life and sometimes in the lives of others.
Maybe reading the other dimension's language with fluency is the same as wisdom. Maybe experience is a synonym for it. I don't know for sure. But, it's nice to know that there many, many fluent readers among us and that they can teach others how to read well. Perhaps, accepting the notion of a Creator is the step to be in a beginning reading group. And I am sure that he has much more success at teaching reading than the public schools. And I am pretty sure that he evaluates our ability from time to time. Thus, language acquisition and being a Christian in the world are synonymous.
