The Ante-Thesis.

Theo / धी धियौ धियः 

---

I just don't know if this word is really there already in the English Dictionary, or I have coined this anew.

The Greek word Theo could be traced to have a relation with the Sanskrit word  'धी' which means the intellect. This is what has the 'गणपति' / gaNesha, as the presiding deity / or the 'अधिष्ठाता देवता' .

In Greek "Theo" is also synonymous with Religion, God, Truth.

The most famous and important mantra in Vaidika texts is the Gayatri mantra which is a hymn as well as a prayer for the invocation of The Intelligence Principle Supreme.

There are different and various forms of this mantra, which is basically the छन्द / Chanda, and so there is gaNesha Gayatri, and others, the Surya Gayatri is what is known well. 

The same word 'Theo' gives us many other words such as :

'theory','thesis', 'synthesis', 'Theology', and 'theocracy', 'theist', 'atheist', 'Theosophy'.

One can see how the concept of derivation of different languages from a primitive one is basically unfounded, because the languages all over the globe were born independently in various places.

But as these all were spoken by the people of different ethnicities, the very origin of all of  them could be said to have come from their mind which is the common human mind / consciousness of all and everyone.

The same phenomenon is described in Devi AtharvaSheerSha, where a story about this has been narrated.

The earliest humans used to converse with one-another through the primitive language that naturally came into existence when the man learnt how to associate any object with a particular sound or a compound sound.

Thus he could converse in a better way,  and this gave him a language to call his own.

Again, all the sound and the sound-forms are basically in the sound / meaning that forms the matrix of letters (वर्ण / वर्णाक्षर) which is but the form of the presiding deity of all sounds / syllables, -सरस्वती / saraswati, She is given the status of the daughter of "DakSha".

Interesting to note "DakSha" is skill / expert / dexterous.

This means, out of the skill and expertise, all many languages that were spoken and then developed came into existence. 

Then the Devata approached to the Supreme Consciousness, and prayed to her to please let them know exactly Who She is, What is Her Reality. 

In another way, the Devata Principle ( or the Five senses) tried to find out, exactly Who governs them. 

Though 5 sense-organs have different kinds of perception, namely: 

The sight, The taste, The touch, The smell, and The hearing.

Still each functions in its own way, whenever there is this 'mind' that gets attached to them individually.

This implies the mind / consciousness that helps and controls, regulates the senses is the superior element.

Then "Devi" or the language of the mind / consciousness, revealed before them Her True form and nature.

Devi then sanctified the spoken words and syllables that were being spoken by the primitives.

The pure and sacred sounds,  words, letters and phonemes, along-with a script "शारदा" was then discovered by the primitive Rishi.

शारदा, सरस्वती, ब्राह्मी, श्री  are the various ancient scripts and one can see that even the earlier European script "Cyril" is but a derivative of the "श्री लिपि".

I'm not sure but think there are 33 letters in this "Cyrillic" script, which is said to have been "created" by the Saint Cyril.

Shiva-Atharva-SheerSha and Skanda PuraNa also tell that Devata are of 33 kinds only. 

So we have a pattern.

Conclusion :

There are many scripts which have further developed into the current forms.

Naturally,  as the different languages were born at different places, their relative and relevant scripts too were formed by those very people who spoke the languages.

That is, how it is almost impossible to say or to point out, how the various scripts were formed in the beginning.

Though the sound and sound-forms were almost the same all over the earth, and are so even today, the different scripts were so designed, could have been done in the coming times in quite different ways.

This implies, we can't find out a common script that could be said the origin of all the different types of scripts.

How could then we expect decoding or to decipher a certain script of the distant past?

A few minutes ago, when I  glanced over my another earlier post titled : "Anti-thesis", this came to my mind, could I write another one with the title "Ante-Thesis"?

And this is the consequence.
