As for etymology... definitely some cool discoveries to be made there.
And great you mentioned the “whether the meaning is true or not” - given it might not always be, as not all language is pure, some of it founded with certain cultural biases, or from lower levels of awareness that were common hundreds or thousands of years ago.
And then sometimes, language still doesn’t perfectly suffice to communicate the essence of what’s being attempted - meanings getting distorted as trying to translate aspects of experience that don’t alway lend themselves to logical description in limited language.
Sevan Bomar is one seriously badass interdimensional explorer/teacher who’s dove pretty deep down the etymology rabbit hole. Can’t recall specifics of where he gets into it, but I bet you’d like some of his insights into it...
Let's see. I'll check him out!
But you're right. All kinds of things are very distorted. It can be a rabbit hole indeed.
