Hey, thanks for reading & for your observations!
Regarding the cosmic trinity, yeah, my take is more from the thoughts and emotions side, with action stemming from them later.
Interesting point about the etymology of suffering! But it is also the case that we can't control many things in our surroundings (and even within ourselves in some cases) so some of it just is, and as such, has to be accepted. At the core, I think this is the gist of it:
"Suffering exists either way, I think. Love is what gives it meaning, a reason, makes it bearable. If there is love, you can transcend suffering."
Regarding definitions, yeah it may be a good idea, but at the same time, I kind of like some of the ambiguity and the fact that every person can read those passages from their own vantage point, according to their own definitions. Besides, I'm not sure how great I would be at definitions - meanings of words depend on their particular contexts...
No; words have resonance and carry power; the ancients knew the power of words when certain vowels and consonants are combined! thus, the original meaning from Latin & Greek and even paleo-hebrew is the closest correct interpretation of the sounds;
watch Language of Creation for clarification;
modern language controllers make people believe that u can attach any meaning to any word depending on the context; be very careful how u wish ur message to be interpreted;
in a world where Anarchy (an-archony = no ruler) no longer means Freedom, everyone who believes otherwise is probably an enemy;

Ohh I'm definitely going to watch Language of Creation! Words, sounds and meanings are something I'm always interested in (my artist name is no coincidence!). Again, many thanks for the recommendation.
