When I was little I was in Private Christian School in London.  I recall many things about my childhood that were wonderful, but the one I value most is the exposure to different ways of cultural upbringing.  Having read the Bible many times, I find the stories and accounts passed on from our elders fascinating.  One story that I remember dazzled me at the time, was the reason for multiple languages.  The tower of Babel, was the time when God decided to cast humamity into a frenzy by splitting all their tongues and breaking apart their ability to speak to one another in one language.

I look past the actual story though (as most stories from the elders of past were meant to be read) and look at the recurrent theme.  Once we tried to build a tower high enough to touch God, and he cast us into years of oblivion when God struck us with the ailment of language barrier.

So now, in the new era.  The era that heralds the age of Aquarius, I ask… what will be cast upon us now?  Now that we have the ability to build towers that kiss the sky, what awaits us?  If language was given for the first attempt… what would be the appropriate gift? 

By the way, for those of you who might be questioning... I am not religious.  My use of God is a respect to those who are.  I find the use of the tower of Babel and the times that that story portrayed to be of particular similarity to those of today.
