Carpathian 23 - Dark Storm

Nonetheless, it serves as an interesting contrast.
    The part of the Gyuto chanting example that is most similar to the Carpathian style
     of chanting is the midsection, where the men are chanting the words together with
     great force. The purpose here is not to generate a “healing tone” that will affect
     a particular “chakra,” but rather to generate as much power as possible for initiating
     the “out of body” travel, and for fighting the demonic forces that the healer/traveler
     must face and overcome.
    The songs of the Carpathian women (illustrated by their “Lullaby” and their “Song
     to Heal the Earth”) are part of the same ancient musical and healing tradition as
     the Lesser and Great Healing Chants of the warrior males. You can hear some of the
     same instruments in both the male warriors’ healing chants and the women’s “Song to
     Heal the Earth.” Also, they share the common purpose of generating and directing power.
     However, the women’s songs are distinctively feminine in character. One immediately
     noticeable difference is that, while the men speak their words in the manner of a
     chant, the women sing songs with melodies and harmonies, softening the overall performance.
     A feminine, nurturing quality is especially evident in the “Lullaby.”

    The Carpathian Language

Like all human languages, the language of the Carpathians contains the richness and
     nuance that can only come from a long history of use. At best we can only touch on
     some of the main features of the language in this brief appendix:
    1. The history of the Carpathian language
    2. Carpathian grammar and other characteristics of the language
    3. Examples of the Carpathian language (including The Ritual Words and The Warrior’s
     Chant)
    4. A much-abridged Carpathian dictionary
    1. THE HISTORY OF THE CARPATHIAN LANGUAGE
    The Carpathian language of today is essentially identical to the Carpathian language
     of thousands of years ago. A “dead” language like the Latin of two thousand years
     ago has evolved into a significantly different modern language (Italian) because of
     countless generations of speakers and great historical fluctuations. In contrast,
     many of the speakers of Carpathian from thousands of years ago are still alive. Their
     presence—coupled with the deliberate isolation of the Carpathians from the other major
     forces of change in the world—has acted (and continues to act) as a stabilizing force
     that has preserved the integrity of the language over the centuries. Carpathian culture
     has also acted as a stabilizing force. For instance, the Ritual Words, the various
     healing chants (see Appendix 1), and other cultural artifacts have been passed down
     through the centuries with great fidelity.
    One small exception should be noted: the splintering of the Carpathians into separate
     geographic regions has led to some minor dialectization. However the telepathic link
     among all Carpathians (as well as each Carpathian’s regular return to his or her homeland)
     has ensured that the differences among dialects are relatively superficial (e.g.,
     small numbers of new words, minor differences in pronunciation, etc.), since the deeper,
     internal language of mind-forms has remained the same because of continuous use across
     space and time.
    The Carpathian language was (and still is) the proto-language for the Uralic (or Finno-Ugrian)
     family of languages. Today, the Uralic languages are spoken in northern, eastern and
     central Europe and in Siberia. More than twenty-three million people in the world
     speak languages that can trace their ancestry to Carpathian. Magyar or Hungarian (about
     fourteen million speakers), Finnish (about five million speakers) and Estonian (about
     one million speakers) are the three major contemporary descendents of this proto-language.
     The only factor that unites the more than twenty languages in the Uralic family is
     that their ancestry can be traced back to a common proto-language—Carpathian—that
     split (starting some six thousand years ago) into the various languages in the Uralic
     family. In the same way, European languages such as English and French belong to the
     better-known Indo-European family and also evolved from a common proto-language ancestor
     (a different one from Carpathian).
    The following table provides a sense for some of the similarities in the language
     family.
