ABSTRACT
The primary function of language was to embody the rudiments of primitive knowledge, as one of the vehicles of freedom. Religion or magic taken as a system of belief, practice, and rules of conduct is, as a rule, the central or focal point of all cultural values. Both religion and magic essentially contain in one way the occurrence of miracle, that is, of an event brought about through the contravention of natural determinism, with a minimum of miraculous rapport with the supernatural. The Buddhist in the more refined atheistic form of that religion experiences the miracle of escape from the world. In reality both magic and religion are not the denial of determinism. It is found that freedom refers to a purpose which is believed translatable into action. The magic of totalitarian propaganda has been capable not merely of producing a mystical integration within their own nations, but also of sapping the spiritual energies among the victims.
