The Spell They Cast With Every "Shall Not" and "Policy States"

I wrote something for everyone who's ever felt their spirit go numb reading a legal document, zoning ordinance, or institutional policy.

It's about dead language—the tongue of control that speaks to your programming, not your soul—and how we can break its spell by reclaiming living language.

This isn't just semantics. It's a form of spiritual warfare for the mind. When you can't name the trap, you can't escape it. When your thoughts are framed in their terms, your freedom is already negotiated away.

The article connects this to real systems: the laws that criminalize homelessness, the doctrines that demand compliance over compassion, the bureaucracy that keeps us chasing papers instead of purpose.

The path back to a voice that breathes, connects, and creates starts with learning to translate. I see my work in "emotion decoding" and trauma mapping as part of this same fight: turning the static of pain back into a clear signal from the soul.

If you've ever felt talked at instead of talked with by the systems around you, this piece is for you.

I'm curious: what's a phrase of "dead language" you encounter that makes your spirit recoil? And how would you translate it into something alive?
