The Ideology of Huiswerk
Huiswat Kampus (the secret society) was founded in 1795 in Amsterdam by Johan Huiswerk, a Dutch government minister. It is an organization whose only aim is to keep the secrets of the spirit alive. The organization has no board or management structure.
At the start of his life, Huiswerk said that he had been having visions of a strange collection of words on various symbols and colorings, along with a language and rules of a mysterious culture. It was his constant quest to find out more about this culture and to establish contact with it. It was only later that he discovered he had been accepted into a secret society in order to learn about the history of the language, the body of literature, and the art.
Huiswerk spent years traveling to different countries, studying, and writing new editions of his books. He produced forty volumes of his collected works. He wrote several books on language and dialects. In one of his books, Huiswerk revealed the truth about how the letters of the language had been formed.
Huiswerk felt that he was to create a dictionary of the language as there were now over twenty-five thousand different words for which he had no definition. He also believed that the language had not been fully represented in any dictionary.
Huiswerk wrote in one of his books, “There must be a language which contains many words to give a full description of all the meanings of all the verbs.” Many other translators tried to do the same. None of them ever managed to produce a complete dictionary of the language.
Huiswerk wrote in one of his books, “To call this a dictionary isnot a good idea.” Although he wrote a dictionary of the language, he did not believe that his dictionary was an accurate representation of the language. Huiswerk believed that the English language was far superior to the Dutch language. He believed that the Dutch language was actually confusing.
Huiswerk claimed that he had two copies of the meaning of each word in his dictionary. He claimed that he had a “present time” meaning for each word, but that he would translate the word a few days later and use the correct meaning. He could find no translation for many of the unknown words in his dictionary.
The theories that Huiswerk gave out was to prove that languages were similar and that different languages are not completely separate. He said that languages were nothing more than a connection of sounds and meanings. He also claimed that some language existed just for the purpose of keeping the secrets.
Huiswerk believed that one language had been created so that each member of the society had to keep a secret to continue to stay one step ahead of everyone else. If one person had information that the others did not, he or she could be executed for treason.
It was this motive that inspired him to write about the movements of the moon and stars, to watch the different colors, and to study the language of the various birds. However, most people assumed that he was a lunatic. Several of his works were shown to be complete fakes.
He was exposed as a fraud and he never gained acceptance in the society. He died in poverty. He was very proud of his ideas, but was a poor writer and was quite miserable at his life.
Huiswerk believed that language was a useful tool. He believed that only a few people could understand a language and to speak it perfectly. He was deeply pessimistic about the future of the language of the world.
