This brings us back directly and very clearly to what was said above about the “language of the birds,” which we can also call “angelic language,” and of which the image in the human world is rhythmic speech; for the “science of rhythm,” which admits of many applications, is the ultimate basis of all the means that can be brought into action in order to enter into communication with the higher states. That is why an Islamic tradition says that Adam, in the earthly Paradise, spoke in verse, that is, in rhythmic speech; this is related to that “Syrian language” (lughah suryāniyyah) of which we spoke in our previous study on the “science of letters,”∗ and which must be regarded as translating directly the “solar and angelic illumination” as this manifests itself in the center of the human state. This is also why the Sacred Books are written in rhythmic language which, clearly, makes of them something quite other than the mere “poems,” in the purely profane sense, which the anti-traditional bias of the modern critics would have them to be. Moreover, in its origins poetry was by no means the vain “literature” that it has become by a degeneration resulting from the downward march of the human cycle, and it had a truly sacred character.7 Traces of this can be found up to classical antiquity in the West, when poetry was still called the “language of the Gods,” an expression equiva lent to those we have indicated, in as much as the Gods, that is, the Devas,8 are, like the angels, the representation of the higher states. In Latin, verses were called carmina, a designation relating to their use in the accomplishment of rites; for the word carmen is identical to the Sanskrit karma which must be taken here in its special sense of “ritual action”;9 and the poet himself, interpreter of the “sacred language” through which the divine Word appears, was vates, a word which defined him as endowed with an inspiration that was in some way prophetic.

I’ve enclosed a link that may be of interest, an essay from Emil Páleš regarding evolutionary theory:

A couple of things sprang to mind when you mentioned rhythm (just be assocation). One was the Happy Hunting Grouds (red Indian paradise) and the other was the Kybalion

As the fall of the human being into sin was a descent from the heights of consciousness of the everlasting Presence of God, so does the way of reascent lead through the same stages by which the descent was made – that is, throgh the stages of resurrection of the past.

And the future of the world, its end, the Last Day, is not the final triumph of the progress of natural evolution, but the state of the resurrection of the whole of the past. The Last Day is no specific ‘day’ of the last year of the world, but is the ever present process of resurrection that culminates in the resurrection of the eternal ‘first day of creation’.

It is the primarl creative Word: ‘Let there be light!’ t hat forms the essence of the Last Judgement. yes, the world passes away – and simultaneously it is resurrected. The eternal creative Word: ‘Let there be light’, is the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, and the eternall present (Revelation xxi, 6).
