Frequently Asked Questions

Once you can understand and speak it, does it feel as natural as English?

Fluent French
The portion I understand feels no different than if it were expressed in English. It's the portion I don't understand which makes French still seem fuzzier to me than English, as if there were a slight fog. Understanding feels more natural than speaking, where I am always aware of my accent. When I read a book in French and suddenly there is a quotation in English, the contrast is striking.

How does Killroy speak English?

Killroy and Tina!
Killroy speaks Universpeak, not English. Universpeak assumes that the unused part of our mind is partially for low-level telepathy, which Killroy uses as a sort of universal translator. So although he speaks his own language, it's heard in the recipient's native language (English, Japanese, Cat, Kryptonian) - like a movie that's been dubbed well. Killroy has a skullcap made of neuralium that adapts to his mindwaves, and helps him out with this translation, but he doesn't seem to need it anymore.

Be careful. If their ability to speak and understand English is essential to doing the job, this is a reasonable criterion to use.

Q 6. What are we to understand by pure breath? What are we to understand by natural breath?

Questions on Anapana
Ans. Good question. The plain, simple breath with nothing attached to it is called pure. The moment something is attached to the breath, it becomes impure. Something is pure if no foreign element is added to it. As long as the milk producer does not add water to the milk, it remains pure. The addition of water to milk makes it impure. Similarly, the breath is pure as long as nothing is added to it. The addition of any word or name with the breath makes it impure.
