But, of course

Month, Day: 166, Speech, Speech (Beauty)
Month, Day: 166, Speech, Questions (Perfection)

Before Questions, the basis of science, we would have praise and prayer.

Aqdas #31: Then, with radiance and joy, celebrate therein the praise of your Lord, the Most Compassionate. Verily, by His remembrance the eye is cheered and the heart is filled with light.
Aqdas #12: It hath been ordained that obligatory prayer is to be performed by each of you individually.

SAQ #62: Therefore, children, in return for this care and trouble, must show forth charity and beneficence, and must implore pardon and forgiveness for their parents.

Without Speech, what would we not have?

There are very many references that could be used.

One particular prayer says this: ... they may busy themselves at the Threshold of Thy oneness with servitude and worship, with salutation, adoration and praise. “I have not created spirits and men, but that they should worship me.”

The Motivational would deal with goals. How to be independent, yet world embracing in the proper mode, meaning non-hubris-tic?

This time of the year is definitely a time to consider the yearly measure. We're in the 14th month of 19. Looking forward, we have Questions and Honour prior to the time of the Ascendant, especially Loftiness.

We can remind ourselves about this.

• The Valley of Contentment: The tongue faileth in describing these three Valleys, and speech falleth short. The pen steppeth not into this region, the ink leaveth only a blot. In these planes, the nightingale of the heart hath other songs and secrets, which make the heart to stir and the soul to clamor, but this mystery of inner meaning may be whispered only from heart to heart, confided only from breast to breast.
• The Third Valley: The denizens of this plane speak no words—but they gallop their chargers. They see but the inner reality of the Beloved. To them all words of sense are meaningless, and senseless words are full of meaning.

There is an interesting thing to note in this regard. There are aspects of mathematics that relate to being, namely that which the human does and that which the computer performs. Yet, much of the discipline is language'd and can be spoken. Only to a certain extent, though, as we see with the inability to express some concepts in a native language, that is speak out the meaning of what is represented in a whole collection of mathematics. No, rather there are different rules that are applied.

But, some type of association with 'being' as it involves Creation must be describable via mathematics, as we see with operational effectiveness, even though none of the Writings can be said to be so formal (but, embedded are metaphors, etc.).
