| 1 | What use is a symbol or an arrangement of symbols if they have no meaning? |
| 2 | For if a symbol or a group of symbols has no meaning, or definition, or context, then they have no practical use in philosophy or true science. |
| 3 | Similarly, if a symbol or a group of symbols have an unclear meaning, or too many meanings in order to make sense of their context, then it is difficult to proceed. |
| 4 | This is not to say that when we do not know the ultimate meaning of something, we cannot continue, |
| 5 | For when some thing is defined as a variable, then it has meaning in that context. |
| 6 | But when the very tools we need to use in order to investigate our world, our universe and the knowledge of civilizations are themselves unclear or contradictory, |
| 7 | Then our ability to make sense of knowledge and of science can be compromised and even unintentionally skewed. |
| 8 | Thus, the beginning of all science is the beginning of all philosophy and the beginning of all searches of knowledge, which is the quest first for certain meaning. |
| 9 | That quest inevitably begins with mastering at least two or more languages, |
| 10 | A “language” being a model for the conceptualization, expression, communication and memorialization of meaning by attaching certain building blocks of meaning to groups of symbols or sounds. |
| 11 | Mathematics is an example of a language, considered fundamental to learning and exploring science. |
| 12 | English is another example of a language, considered fundamental in international commerce, science and diplomacy. |
| 13 | In both cases, groups of symbols and individual symbols are given names and basic meanings as the building blocks of more complex meaning. |
| 14 | The study then of these “building blocks of meaning” or “meaning of meaning” is called etymology, |
| 15 | With the word etymology derived from the Ancient Greek word etumologia from etumon meaning “true sense” and –logia meaning “study of”. |
| 16 | The first rule of etymology and the meaning of meaning then in philosophy and science is that “every symbol and meaning has a point of origin, which defines the base characteristic of the symbol(s) and their use”. |
| 17 | In other words, at some point in history, some one invented the use of the symbol and attached the first meaning to the symbol. |
| 18 | Why is this important? Because as the ancient Egyptian priests of the Hyksos once declared “to name a thing for what it is, is to take hold of its power”. |
| 19 | Unlike modern times, the highest ancient civilizations knew that the original “genesis” of a symbol and its meaning captured the spirit and “soul” of the knowledge. |
| 20 | The Hyksos in particular, placed great emphasis and respect on the proper pronunciation of words and the accurate preservation of their meaning, partly in the manner of hieroglyph writing. |
| 21 | Therefore, to ignore the true origin and meanings of words and symbols in philosophy and true science is to accept a level of ignorance and bias into ones conclusions. |
| 22 | Ignorance, especially willful ignorance, is the enemy and the complete opposite to Philosophy and any true scientific knowledge. |
| 23 | Sometimes, the etymology of words and symbols is misconstrued by false presumptions. |
| 24 | For example, when Summa Elementis Theologica speaks of the Divine Creator of all Existence, then such a concept cannot be trivialized down to an image on a ceiling or fresco. |
| 25 | So when people seek to belittle, or diminish an argument by calling upon such false presumptions as their interpretation of meaning, they weaken their own credibility in any objective scientific debate. |
| 26 | Sometimes, the etymology of words and symbols themselves are deliberately corrupted for ulterior motives. |
| 27 | Sadly, this is very much the case in respect of the English language, which is riddled with deliberately obscured, occult and contradictory meanings. |
| 28 | For example, the word “Belief” did not exist prior to the 17th Century. Yet the word “Belie” did exist. |
| 29 | Belie is the root word for “Belief” and “Believe” when it was formalized in the 16th Century. |
| 30 | Yet the meaning of Belie appears very different to Belief and Believe, |
| 31 | As the definition of Belie means to falsify, misrepresent, misquote, misreport, pervert, distort, slant, twist, embellish, trick, disguise, camouflage or mask. |
| 32 | So when the word Belief was created in the 17th Century it was given the occult and obscure definition of “giving credit” as in the surrender of energy or trust or money to another. |
| 33 | It was not until the 19th Century that the word Believe appeared to acquire a pseudo-scientific meaning associated with reasoning and argument. |
| 34 | Sadly, this is not one isolated example, but an endemic problem within English whereby many hundreds of words have completely opposite original meanings to their common usage. |
| 35 | Men and women may think they are expressing one concept at one level, completely unaware that they have declared the opposite spiritually and mentally. |
| 36 | Thus, it can be concluded that the word “Belief” was deliberately occult and intentionally designed to manipulate the mind and spirit of all men and women regardless how it is viewed. |
| 37 | Be Lie, or Belie, or Be Evil or even Be Fealty. Many foundational words within the English language have been created to cause people to curse themselves, to condemn themselves and to entrap themselves. |
| 38 | Thus Summa Elementis Theologica must rely upon the bedrock of meaning and words so that there can be no misunderstanding or confusion. |
| 39 | Summa Elementis Theologica therefore relies upon the Lexica Dei Divinus and the Astrum Iuris Divini Canonum of twenty two books of Canons of Law in order to be certain as to the truth of meaning. |
| 40 | For when Summa Elementis Theologica speaks of the etymology of symbols and words, its source and presumptions are clear. |
| 41 | Furthermore, before one can truly appreciate the words expressed in Summa Elementis Theologica, |
| 42 | The first ten books of Canons of Law (Astrum Iuris Divini Canonum) must first be read and reviewed and comprehended. |
