WHAT'S IN A NAME?
What's in a name? Much and sometimes nothing. That is when you don't understand the different layers, that form a word. The way you spell it, the historical roots, the emotional aura of a word (f.i. Democracy) and so on. Names also have a meaning in the spiritual world. When you know some-one's name, you have power over him or her and certainly over animals and game. Names have a long way to go and they have a local meaning too. My first name means in the local dialect “an adopted child”. When a servant got pregnant by a future hero or leader, a marriage was arranged and the husband was paid for. By a job or to give some-one the chance to hide his homosexuality. Is that why I got that name? But my name is one of the most common ones there is? Kings, emperors, martyrs and popes wore my name! What's the meaning of that.
Words and names can also be used is an anagram or to give a message when read from left to right. I will give you some examples and tools, how to analyse a word or a name. Let's see, what is “inside” the names of ancient and recent names of gods and goddesses. First is the Babylonian fertility goddess “Ishtar”. Her name is still recognizable in the present names “Esther” or “Isa”. The first association is with the Egyptian sungod Ra, also worshipped as “Amon” (yes, Toet-Ankh-Amon) and his name ends a christian prayer. “Star” is obvious, but it gives a link to a tarot-card and is there a reference to the tv-medium Shar?. Etc. And what do you think of “jupiter – reptile?” Strangely enough, Jesus is easily transformed into Zeus, the Greek supreme God. Jesus is also a powerword. When used in extreme situations it may help to keep your enemies at a distance. But there are more words like that. Some may freeze an animal or a person, some can even kill.
But I saved the lives of my dogs several times, by making them stop immediately. I know their names.
Some people read from left to right. What does a muslim read when he sees the word “God”. Is that a joke or something.
