Recent Choice Tweets

I didn't dive into Twitter right off, but the more I've used it the more I find myself using it. :)

Some recent choice tweets:

From asdquefty^: "Next total lunar eclipse is in 2 years 3 days 9 hours, on 12/21/2010, just so ya know. Will be visible from North America and South America."

From datafaucet^: "Definition of EVIL: Ending the X-Men movies at 3 and continuing Saw to 6 or more."

Yes, friends and neighbors, the FBI has been in URGENT CONTACT with yours truly.

I'm sure you've all heard of the "Nigerian Bank Scam." (If not, click here^.) Well, YOU MUST HAVE REST ASSURED that the FBI is totally on top of this.

Or ... maybe not. You decide.

The Next Step

It's darn hard to be productive with interruptions every 90 seconds or so.

The last two days have been largely dominated by indeteric study ... Yes, I just made up a word. :) As a word smith (and linguistical artist), I get to do that.

Sheta Kaey^ and I often run into problems communicating ideas because of terminology. She has studied the work of others and has a massive working vocabulary of terms used by mystics, magic(k) practitioners, and energy workers. I have not, and do not. (Not that I haven't tried; I get frustrated too easily with other people's attempts to explain, and admittedly disgusted with the ego that too often pervades the documentation.)

So we have agreed that the best route is coining new words, history-free, to share experiences. A few days ago the mission was a new word for energy work in general, something generic and without previous meaning so that it can be accepted and understood by anyone, regardless of background, prejudice, and experience.

At the time (more or less) I suggested "esoteria," but I wasn't satisfied with it, as "eso-" is only half of the equation (the other half being "exo-").

So, as these things often happen, this morning as I was attempting to do other things between interruptions, my speech center finally cooperated with "indeteric."

inde, from the Latin prefix for "next," "succeeding from," or "as a result of," and -ter-, Greek root for (?) knowledge, experience, reality, etc.

Thus, indeteria is "the next step of experience," the study of both overt and subtle actuality; indeteric is an adjective describing the focus of such study. (And just to be tidy with the etymology, "indeterium" would be the singular form, indicating a unit or specific sphere of study.)
