Twilight language

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Twilight language. 1. A term in the Hindu exegesis of sacred texts used to denote a hidden or sub-rosa meaning, or concealment of deeper meaning by deliberately opaque language.

2. A phrase coined by American cryptographer James Shelby Downard to indicate "words of power" and secret symbols by which humanity is alchemically processed. The leading exponent of Downard's twilight language theory is Michael A. Hoffman II who claims to have extensively tracked and decoded this supposed phenomenon in Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare and subsequent essays and articles. Twilight language enthusiasts cite the 2001 movie-biography A Beautiful Mind as demonstrating the process of twilight language detection, though in a milieu in which the act of detection is debunked and vilified as a symptom of profound psychosis.
