Humans are the language and numbers kind, of which their work has been stated, sent off to the codex, the dictionary, the thesaurus and mathematical texts. But is there a way to communicate other than with words and numbers?

In the King James Version of the Holy Bible, Revelation 5:8 (in part), “…and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.”

In the New World translation of the Holy Scriptures (2013) Rev 5:8 (in part), “…and golden bowls that were full of incense (the incense means the prayers of the Holy Ones).” Incense is a burned material that gives a pleasant fragrance.”

If the saints composed prayers using words and numbers, are they actually transformed into fragrances or is it poetic license? And who is using olfactory sensory apparatus to do the sensing of those prayers? To me intriguing thoughts.

Do atomic or subatomic particles have fragrance? Can communications occur via such particles? Carl Jung, a noted psychoanalyst, and physicists have considered such.

Animals sense pheromones, and trees in a forest sense other trees by chemical molecules in the air, forms of communication.

“Food for thought,” happy holidays. Enjoy!
