• The Origin of Mind and
Language is one of the vague
speculative areas in
anthropology, psychology,
linguistics and the evolutionary
sciences.

• The advent of thought and

language is a subject that
resists an actual empiricism,
where any direct and factual
evidences rest mainly in our
pre-historical past, a time
predating the earliest
memories of our long-gone
antiquities.
The innerdance is a deep inquiry into the origins of To share the written experience of an Australian
thought; we regard the deep state of consciousness as an woman who recounts a very first innerdance process,
experiential mirroring of the mind prior to thought and Jacqui shares:

growing and other animals and plant life evolving.” 
In Structuralist thought, the mind and the body are
constructions built from the same scaffolding. We are older
than age itself – the innerdance is a journey into our pre-
constructed past, revealing what understructures our
present thoughts and words, unraveling the blueprint of
our collective consciousness. What many people consider to
be spiritual forces that arise as geometries, frequencies and
intensities, are also the nuts and bolts of our indigenous
intelligence. 
Today, innerdance brings up we are returning to our
extensive beginnings. We experience a Deep Time from
whence all humans are made manifest.
To understand the innerdance is a return to the origin of
language and mind connects us to a greater historicism
that takes all of our complexities into a simplification
where sound, image, gesture and touch are possible pre-
languages that are in fact, the universal elements that
initiate the collective meaning-making activity.
DEVELOPMENTAL
& EVOLUTIONARY
PSYCHOLOGY
Language development in both the
evolutionary phases of the small child and
the growth process of the early human holds
keys in what we reconstruct in the energy
realm. We regress to the beginning stages of
any one infant as well as the first humans,
even as we simultaneously retain our
present mentalities.
In the innerdance sharings, people often are unable
to speak for long durations of time, or to compose their
thoughts in sequential thinking formats. Known in
psychological terms as Aphasia, the losing of one’s
language takes place in the spiritual awakening.
The innerdance facilitator intuitively knows that the losing
of one’s language is a common phenomena when sound is
especially used to heighten brain state activity which
activates certain waves in the circadian rhythm.
The Regression Hypothesis, historically put forward by the
psychologist and linguist Roman Jakobson, presents how
the surrendering of our consciousness and language in the
spiritual experience reverses the actual language
acquisition stages a child undergoes as he or she acquires a
personality and a mind. It is a regular occurrence by which
participants claim to regress not just to childhood states but
to the remembrance of the consciousness of the fetus itself.
In an early article on innerdance written in July 2008 for
the Philippine Daily Inquirer, Jaime Licauco describes
his own Deep Story:
“something happened to me that I had not experienced before.
I went into a trance and fell from my chair to the floor. Then I
went into a journey back in time from my present adult life to
childhood and then birth. I saw myself inside the womb of my
mother. I crouched and assumed a fetal position for a few
minutes, then I went forward in time again until I reached
my present age. It was an inner dance - an inner rebirth. It
was a very powerful experience for me and I found myself
teary-eyed. It was a cathartic experience I could not forget.”
Bringing Jaime and Jacqui’s experiences together, the
memories shared by participants are not solely from a
personal biographical account. Rather, what is gingerly
articulated is a deep narrative chronicling the larger
causalities harbouring the life of a person and a planet.

Yet the memories shared by participants are not solely from
a personal biographical account. Rather, what is gingerly
articulated is a Deep Story – a narrative hailing from a
much larger past, one that chronicles the larger causalities
of a planet.

DEEP HISTORY
in anthropology, linguistics, genetics
and archeaology is used to describe the
pre-historical human.
In innerdance, not just in respect of 

the term Herstory (the narrative that
emphasises from the view of the feminine),
we prefer to use the words Deep Story to
account for the structural sameness in
early human developmental states in both
the individual and in that of the species.
Jacqui’s sharing is one of so many
chronicles around the world that speaks
how we are now concurrently apprehending
the Child Mind of the Person and the Child
Mind of the World.
THE 

CIRCADIAN
RHYTHM IS
THE MEMORY
OF THE EARTH
The sequence of sounds in the innerdance
as it moves through a particular wave is
called a playlist, an amorphous sonic
alchemy that entrains the individual’s
autonomic nervous system’s three main
features – Brain, Breath and Blood – to the
planet’s climate, seasonal and day-night
cycles.
• The rhythm establishes our thought
patterns, emotions, addictions, health, diet
preferences, sleeping habits, decision-
making and our many moods and feelings.
• The sound processes in innerdance brings
to individuals, an internal world view
perspective on the planet’s mechanisms in
storing and processing information initially
in the form of light and heat.
• Our 24-hour body clock maintains this
information as electro-magnetic wave forms
which in the human experience, tends to
how life unfolds in time (history) and space
(geography).
• The evolution of the human mind emerged
from an axis consisting of the time-space
binary, seen and heard as the sound-image.
Our infantile gestures and utterances bear
witness to the movements made by early
humans migrating across Earth for millions
of years, the very proto-manifestations of
human language and thought systems.
ISOMORPHIC
SIGN SYSTEMS
Around the world, different sounds in innerdance are
sequenced producing similar experiences in the many
continents.

At the onset of her experience, Jacqui describes how after

she heard my speaking voice, she describes how the sound
waves are suddenly “expressed through sacred geometry
patterns,” before Deep Story suddenly explodes in planetary
space time, what in us stays condensed in embodied
cognition.

An isomorphy connotes how varying systems bear similarity

and identity in their shapes and structures. In the words we
speak to each other, an inter-semiotic translation process
happens within the sound and image grid that
understructures the narratives unfolding in the minds of
individuals and the collective in an isomorphy. Namely, our
shared oneness is co-founded on the same causality, a
dimensional matrix held by the axes of time and space.
In the long awakening process, it is eventual the innerdance
brings awareness to how meaning is shared across geo-
historical lines. Here emerges a unitive view that brings
together historiographies of language development from
two simultaneous origins.

People travel back to the womb of the
maternal and the planetary mother,
where consciousness traverses colour
and feeling landscapes.
The vocabulary that bolsters developmental psychology’s
insights on the growth of the individual, alongside that of
evolutionary psychology’s learnings on the beginnings of the
human species, will unravel how one person’s story unfolds
in deep connection with that of the Life-World’s.
• All language structures emerge from a
collective space from which all intelligence
draws from.
• The spiritual experience extends to the
indescribable domain where symbols and
signs predating linguistic sound signs
mediate the base levels of consciousness
with its more highly-condensed
dimensions.
• Transformations take place in this 

in-between mediatory place, from where
our basic sign systems converge and then
diverge.
• It is a subject that resists an actual
empiricism, where any direct and factual
evidences rest mainly in our pre-historical
past, a time predating the earliest
memories of our long-gone antiquities.
STOUDIOUS
MUNDOS:
LANGUAGE EVOLVING
Our initial understandings of innerdance are initiated throughout continuous intensive
research programs held in thousands of processes conducted around the world through
tracing sound interference patterns made visible and audible in the song sequences played 

in workshops around the planet. The pervasive vocabulary to hold the infinite variables that
come up in this work was found in neurology. We realised that cultural and linguistic patterns
conform in a heightened brain state usually reserved during REM sleep but which is now
activated in wakened states.

From this neurological basis, an understanding of language patterns emerged, bringing

persistent insights that decode many linguistic, psychological and spiritual inquiries that 

have challenged evolutionary and developmental thought throughout human history. 

The key to understanding this is in the way we are able to shift from simpler to complex 

forms of language with others, bringing alterations of the states of perceiving the many
dimensions of reality.

that heals simultaneously the pre-
historical post and the post-post-modern
future. Beneath the emotional charge
released in the innerdance in tearful
bitterness and angry screams, we find a
liminal brain state that is neither here
nor there, then nor now.
As we experience light and vibration
dance their infinite overlays, we are
revealed how all minds are constructed.
Secondary Orality in Walter Ong is
seen as a new self-conscious orality
that departs from modern literacy
cultures. 

It is a recent return to a tribal
orientation to sound made possible 

by electronic technology which
establishes oral feedbacks that were
not prevalent in the age of writing 

and book printing.
The innerdance emphasises transitions from one
medium of communication to the next. Throughout Deep
History, early humans evolved over millions of years as we
slowly married sound and meaning through the way we
repeatedly made arbitrary sounds whilst we are enabling
our physical bodies in every conceivable form and
function the environment allowed us.
If the modern world was mediated from Oral Traditions
by way of Literacy and the Age of Writing, we now access
sound and image in greater complexities. Computers and
cellphones are seen by modern anthropologists to bring
about a revival of the indigenous brain, a Secondary
Orality upon which arrested developmental gaps in our
many cultures come into a future integration, even as we
necessarily imbalance past rigid left-right brain
disconnections.
Today’s newness harbours our oldness. The innerdance
emerges at the time of the internet, yet the space-time
network we revisit speaks not just of a subsequent time to
come, but of a place of origin, a space of fresh beginnings.
The histories configured in Orality and Literacy on the
surface run polar and contradictory. In waves of
submergence and emergence, the Deep Story elucidates a
much wider narrative that heals a post-modern, post-
colonial world view from the perspective of pre-history
and the post-post-modern. Beneath the emotional charge
released in the expanding body in tearful bitterness and
angry screams, we find a more basic liminal brain state
that is neither here nor there, then nor now, an ancient
modernity achieving balance in the picture of the large
and small.
Stoudious Mundos emerged as an understanding of
involutions and evolutions in Language throughout its long
and extensive histories. Even as people regress into the Child
Mind, we understood that wisdom and cognition in its
primal status presents a foundational truth, from the basis of
meaning making at its most basic and aboriginal.
As a study-create program, the etymology of the word Studio
states the paradox in the creative activity. If in the studio, we
express forms in the visual, dance and audio arts, the origin
of studio is from the latin studium, which is “the room in
which we study.” The studio is not just the place in which we
create new outputs, it is originally where we internalize
global knowledge. The studio originally, is an intimate
school in which we learn how to function and grow in a
complex world.
Stoudious Mundos looks at life beyond the innerdance. If the
innerdance is the sojourn into Deep Story elements where
memories extend to indigenous pasts prior to language, the
post-innerdance experience connotes our growth through
language’s structures and content.
In the Stoudious Mundos mirror, we become aware of
ourselves through the meta-lingual and then the meta-
semiotic. Even as we become conscious of how to speak and
listen gently, we begin to understand the proto-language of
the sound-image, the very roots of the collective
consciousness. Even as we experience them in extreme
overlays, we reveal how we are constructed as the energy
elements that are reshaped in Deep Story processes.
