Today is a short but fun post the April 2018 A to Z Blog Challenge .
Xenoglossy is the ability to speak a language you’ve never learned at the level of native fluency. How cool is that?
There is not a lot of scientific evidence that Xenoglossy exists. Where we do find mention of this phenomenon is in the Bible, reincarnation research (tapping into a past life including past languages) and parapsychology. Since we only understand such a small percentage of brain function, and who are, I maintain hope that small miracles happen and that the unexplained and unproven, may yet have their day in the future. Life needs science and mystery, don’t you think?
Want more information on this wonderful concept of Xenoglossy? Then check out the following:
This is really interesting to me. I’ve gone to a Pentecostal church for over 20 years. We have always called this, “speaking in tongues.” I’ve never heard the term xenoglossy. I really don’t have a strong feeling about the legitimacy of this. I’m totally open to it, though and won’t rule it out. Thank you for introducing me to a new aspect of this.
Really interesting topic. I don’t think it’s possible to speak a language you never learned fluently; however, I have heard about cases where people woke up after having a stroke or similar event and had a completely different accent, so maybe some of the stories are based on something like that.
