Dear William, >> What would be the manipulation of essential meaning? Something along the lines of creating new meaning, or new expressions of essential meaning say through consecrated artistic creation? Or mediating new understanding to others including elemental and other spiritual beings? << It is the alteration of existing essential meaning and the combining of essential meaning into new forms. As Bardon put it, it is the *Power* of the Word. This precedes, and determines, the form of the Word itself. My best to you, :) Rawn Clark 14 Jul 2003 rawnclark@... rawn@... http://www.ABardonCompanion.com http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BardonPraxis http://E.webring.com/hub?ring=arionthebardonwe
