"What day is it?"

[wolven7]

"Will you please tell me? what day is it? I'm confused you see..." i dunno... long day, again, today. Talking about Mysticism, and various belief systems all day... my brain is still mulling these over... nothing i want to talk about, here, though. Not yet. i think i'll like these classes...

Prodigy - [Breathe]--- Blinding pain in my should blades. It's good for me, really... blah. i Don't know... what's on? Spiritual searching, awarenes, Thing. Two days out of the week, i'm Surrounded by people trying to find themselves, and understand the Multiverse around them. That's so nice... Actual idea exchange, and stuff...

Alice In Chains - [Get Born Again]--- Had a nice talk about different -Isms, today. Animisim, Pantheism, &c. Realised that many many people are cross-seeded in the isms. Which makes me wonder: Why the hell do you keep trying to fit into one? Or several? Be you. If you ARE an ism, then, well.... i'm sorry. i hope that all works out for you. Otherwise, why not be yourself, and understand that what you are existed, in pure form, before humans ever had the words to express it....

System Of A Down - [Storaged]--- Sounds strange i'm sure. Write more Later.

howEVER, people, well, many people anyway, are HUMAN. That gives them one of the biggest human traits, falling just behind the need for THINGS, the need for WORDS.
Humans need words for what happens. Maybe this is just reflection on what Terry Pratchett said through Angua about wolves not having names, but I don't think so. I mean, Angels didn't have names until their responsibility was shifted from general worldguardianship to Humanity. Manymany faeries still don't have names.
There's something about the skinless realm that is the focus of this year's spection. It needs more than one word to EVERYTHING. Octarine is named because humans can use it. Faeries are named, generally improperly, because humans see them. Angels are named, often by their duties, Morning Star's being "The Adversary."
But Octarine aside, what in the world where we, not the we that includes they but just WE, spend most of our time has a single-word name? Spirit is about as specific as "Bird." There aren't words. There are only sets of words, matrices of language set up to hit it, as it were, "in between."
Octarine is greenish purple. I bet you can actually picture that. Tankens is silver-blue. He has bug/faerie wings when he bothers to have them, carries a staff that is about the thickness of a thumb, and has long black hair and short spiky silver hair.
Tankens. The word is the connecting point between all that description and any person hearing the word for the second time.

That's the thing, isn't it? Connecting points. Names connect a sector of our minds with specific prerequisites. Following that random "Multiple causation" crap I was spewing a while ago, people seem to believe that, since they MUST have a name for their religion in order to be religious (Otherwise they're only spiritual, which doesn't go over as well socially), they can simply pick the one that fits most of their predispositions/pre-eminent beliefs.
