Words and Meanings
For your easy reference, we’ve included a glossary (meaning/definition/use) for abstract words, and phrases used throughout the site.
This glossary is important, because for abstract concepts there is a nuanced difference between definition and meaning. Definition defines or identifies, while meaning uses or actualizes.
One of the main causes of misunderstanding is that while there may be an agreed upon definition of a concept, no shared meaning of the actualization may exist. There have been many arguments surrounding the epistemologyEpistemology, the branch of philosophy concerned with the nature, scope, and limits of human knowledge, delves into the fundamental question: More between experience vs research. This also leads to a discussion about fact vs. truth.
Below are a few linguistic situations that may be unclear to our new members.
It’s important in Bible reading to note the difference between some capitalized words and lower case words. Their use can be more than grammatical, it also infers meaning.
Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I have said you are (lowercase) ‘gods'” ? If he called them ‘gods,’ to whom the word of (capitalized) God came—and Scripture cannot be set aside . -John 10:34-35
In the Bible, the capitalization of ‘Lord’ versus ‘lord’ or ‘God’ versus ‘god’ often signifies different things: When capitalized, it refers to the divine name of God. This capitalization emphasizes reverence and respect for the Almighty. When written in lowercase, it usually refers to a title of respect or authority, such as a ruler, master or judge. In such instances, it doesn’t denote the Divine entity but rather a human or earthly figure in a position of responsibility for others.
For example:
“The Lord” (capitalized) often refers to God in a monotheistic sense, as in “the Lord your God.”
“The lord” (lowercase) can refer to a human ruler or authority figure, as in “the lord of the manor.”
The distinction in capitalization helps readers differentiate between references to the Divine being and references to earthly figures or titles. It’s a way to maintain clarity and reverence in the text while also respecting linguistic conventions.
Throughout the site you will often find similar capitalizations like; divine vs Divine, spirit vs Spirit or son vs Son.
Some words wear different faces depending on where they are used – one in natural language, and another in mathematical language. I want readers to be aware of this possibility and to always take context into account as we move forward. Certain words, like complex, chaos, rational, real, and imaginary, are perfect examples of this dual nature.
- Complex:
- Natural meaning: Something complicated, layered, or difficult to understand.
- Mathematical meaning: A number made of two parts : a real part and an imaginary part combined into a single expression (like 3 + 4i).
- Chaos:
- Natural meaning: Total disorder, unpredictability, or confusion.
- Mathematical meaning: A highly sensitive system where small changes in initial conditions lead to vastly different outcomes, yet the system itself still follows deterministic laws.
- Rational:
- Natural meaning: Logical, reasonable, or sensible behavior.
- Mathematical meaning: A number that can be written as the ratio of two integers (like 3/4 or -7/2).
- Real:
- Natural meaning: Existing in fact, tangible, not imagined.
- Mathematical meaning: A number that exists on the continuous number line including integers, fractions, and irrationals, but without any imaginary component.
- Imaginary:
- Natural meaning: Something made up, fictional, or existing only in the mind.
- Mathematical meaning: A number that is a multiple of the square root of -1, denoted as “i,” representing a dimension outside the real number line.
Understanding these dual meanings helps prevent confusion, especially as we dive deeper into topics where the language of mathematics and the language of spirit often weave together.
Context is everything. The same word can either describe emotional complexity or the very structure of multidimensional numbers. Depending on where you are standing.

You may encounter a curse word or two. This isn’t due to lack of education or mental fortitude, it’s an understanding of emotional release.
LalocheziaLalochezia is the emotional relief that comes from swearing or using profane language. The term stems from the Greek words More is the emotional release that can come from using strong or profane language. The word has Greek roots—lalia meaning speech, and chezo meaning to relieve oneself—and it describes that very real feeling of tension easing after a well-placed expletive.
Out of respect for all readers, any posts that include profanity will be clearly labeled. LalocheziaLalochezia is the emotional relief that comes from swearing or using profane language. The term stems from the Greek words More
While strong language is often viewed as inappropriate or unprofessional, especially in formal or sacred settings, the idea that only the uneducated rely on profanity is more myth than truth. Sometimes, “bullshit” cuts through the noise better than “sophistry.” And “ass-kisser” might capture the dynamic more clearly than “sycophant.”
That said, language has power, and with that comes responsibility.
When I use strong language, it’s not to shock or disrespect. It’s to communicate something clearly, emotionally, and honestly. It’s a tool, like any other – best used with intention and care.
Although swearing is seen as rude or inappropriate, lalocheziaLalochezia is the emotional relief that comes from swearing or using profane language. The term stems from the Greek words More serves a purpose in allowing individuals to express their feelings in a powerful and cathartic way.
The Psychology behind Swearing
Swearing has long been associated with strong emotions such as anger, frustration, or pain. When we experience intense feelings, our brains go into fight-or-flight mode, triggering a release of adrenalineThe "Fight or Flight" Chemical Adrenaline is a remarkable chemical that equips the body to handle acute stress and high-energy More and other stress hormones. Swearing can act as a release valve for these emotions, providing a sense of relief and helping to regulate our emotional state.
Research has shown that swearing can actually reduce the perception of pain. A study published in the journal NeuroReport found that participants who swore while submerging their hand in icy water were able to withstand the pain for longer periods of time than those who used neutral language. This suggests that swearing may have a numbing effect on the brain, helping to lessen the perception of physical discomfort.
