After learning a language -Why can't anyone go back and narrate what and how one experienced during the first year?

It will be interesting to explore the reasons that fill the "gap of inability" between the most efficient language learning phase and "culture bound listening phase" as Patricia says . After learning a language what prevents one to go back and bring insights, describe from that efficient learning phase in one's life. Being convinced that these insights / description once known will be objectively measurable as well. It seems the challenge in using MEG has a bias. Thus - what are those factors that prevent one to go back and recall the baby experiences while a language gets learnt - it may add new vocabulary or use existing words in a new perspective to share with others.

Closing Statement from Charan Singh

Thank you all - the spectrum of responses - from Ed Schulte, Natasha Nikulina, Casey to Adriaan Braam- brought amazing insights on this theme. My question and replies were driven by the knowledge I acquired through some, available to humanity, core sources of Wisdom that are little explored - though seems extremely beneficial for solving our current problems. The reason to ask this question was to further explore and find equivalent knowledge terms that can be commonly understood by all. Must say I tried exploring ,not missing even a small reference about " The Word" and how little we know about The Word that manifests through language as our World. Interestingly, I learnt about a Oneness frequency C132/A 432 Hrz that further led me to a great related article link http://www.jwmt.org/v1n4/readlight.html and another book title: P.D.Ouspensky - The Fourth Way, that accepts and addresses to the question asked here " why one doesn't remember and how can one develop that memory that remembers everything " Present day Science or pedagogy - sorry to state, addresses or knows only about two dimensions of that memory that inherits the potential to be developed into four. It is not about religion or faith or worshiping - it is purely about the knowledge accessible to mankind that can be gained through - easy to make observations, experiments not subjective experiences, comparisons, analysis - and using all other tools a scientific mind would use or prefer to use.

I remain indebted to all who participated and shared their valuable inputs on this thread. Thank you.

    Mar 13 2013: Is language movement/vibration ....would that be described as language? Certainly energy exchange can be seen as language right?

      Mar 14 2013: Intrinsic Vibration movement - seems the foundation of what may be considered as outwardly spoken language. It will be interesting some one sharing on how energy exchange / transformation takes place. Yes it seems exchange of energy from vibration to sounds.

        Mar 14 2013: So what you would like to know it "how the universe communicates with us, that produces this reality. How information is exchanged and transmitted using celestial body's, and of course light which actually carry, store, read and writes the information in the universe?

          Mar 14 2013: In agreement - Chinese pictorial alphabets were inspired by the nature and shapes drawn that likely evolved into Phoenician beginning - a) How these alphabets origined - interestingly we have huge data of Chinese alphabets to match phonetic alphabets b) what and how without the vibratory movement as a foundation / movement through the diaphragm - mere passing of air cant porduce any thing, it seems

        Mar 14 2013: Everything is movement….everything. The earth wobbles which the mayan knew about, is that language? The earth spins is that language? Then is rotates around the sun, is that language? When the sun shines on the earth the earth actually gives back information. Topography of the celestial bodies could and can be seen as written language with the sun acting like a cd player reading and writing on to the celestial bodies(including self( ever hear of a thing called enlightenment)), could this be seen as written language absolutely. And is most likely how information is stored on a universal level.
        ( "Where does it get mass from?"

        As I understand it, when a wave is observed, it becomes a point; this is how mass is created.~ Chris Kelly )
        Since waves are movement and movement creates mass and language, this just refers back to the idea that mass/language is a external representation of an internal process “a thought/language/lexicon” place holder.
        What would we be holding into place? Existence, why because it is real if it wasn’t that would mean the gods are not real either and they are just as real as the reality that is around. All gods exist if man has put belief or faith into them then they are real. Its man’s/gods belief in other that makes all of this real. Now have things certainly got lost in translation absolutely.
        Ever hear someone say that the room is spinning, well truthfully it is spinning its actually really odd that it does not always feel this way.
        Or if I drop a pen did it fall straight down? Everybody says yes, the guy who asked the questions say no it actually moved x distance to the left. But thats wrong as well because he and we also moved x distance to the left at the same time
        …..On a side note language was created to give man something to complain about ;)

        Humbly Casey

          Mar 15 2013: @ Casey - Ed, may likely add some interesting resources on Scientific American speech-sound-vibration. It seems we are on the right track ..may find something interesting...It seems thee sound produced from these movement is FOUNDATION to any Language. Thanks Casey for your participation.
