The Journey Behind the Elixir
I am Omar, a linguist by study, a wisdom lover by nature, and a seeker of hidden knowledge. My journey began with a fascination with the idea that language shapes perception. Words shape consciousness. Meaning is deeply embedded in the way we speak and write. Through this blog, I bridge my humble academic knowledge with my passion for the metaphysical. This creates a space for intellectual discovery.
Elixir of Kalimat symbolizes the unification of the opposites. It embodies the encounter of the west with the east. It also represents the transformative power of words.
Elixir is a substance, usually a liquid. It was believed to turn non-precious metals into gold. It was thought to cure all illnesses and to give eternal life. The origin of the word is Latin, Arabic, and Greek. It symbolizes transformation, healing, and eternity.
Kalimat is an Arabic word, which means words. It is the plural for the word ‘Kalima’, which means word. I’ve chosen this title, Elixir of Kalimat, to highlight the idea behind the blog: Words shape and transform our reality.
