(Note: Within this web site version of these Articles of Organization, any interested reader should be able to use the following list as an index, in combination with their browser or word processing utility edit menu find selection. The glossary entries which have been completed and posted, hopefully will be helpful.)
Within the Index we have included some Glossary type entries, both for some less frequently used English words and for words that are printed in the M̅êя̄ē ĕñ H̅êʜ̇ Phonetic Alphabet (the construction of which has been a Temple project for approximately the past eleven years). The main reasons that we use some of the phonetically spelled words, are twofold: firstly, when there is not a serviceable English word that could be used without bringing in some other implications or inferences that are irrelevant to the meaning of the word when used in the Temple context; and secondly, since these words are not in common usage, they can be given exact definitions for the Temple context. Most of the phonetically spelled words have Archaic Greek linguistic roots, for the same reason that most precise metaphysical words in English emerge from those root words, such reason being that, of the Western Cultures, the group of cultures which modern civilization refers to as the Archaic Greek, are the most recent and thus accessible of the cultures which spent massive time and energy developing a Language possessing a vocabulary precisely to enable comprehensive discussion of the most intricate of metaphysical concepts and positions. The M̅êя̄ē ĕñ H̅êʜ̇ Phonetic Alphabet was originally developed to construct Chants and other Celebratory elements of which would benefit by exact, easily determinable pronunciation, which would be impossible in the English alphabet since almost any English letter has many variations of pronunciation. We have tried to limit redundancy as much as possible, for example, we do not define the Sacraments again in this Index/Glossary; since with the index entries, it is a simple matter to look them up in the main body of the text of the Articles of Organization, in which they are all delineated together in one section.
| Special Note: Garden of Life uses a large number of specially purposed English words, often spelled slightly differently than regular, to make their more specific meaning more apparent. We also use a large number of neologisms, specifically constructed for Temple use. All of this type of terminology is defined in several places on the website, here in the Articles of Organization glossary, in the Garden of Life website Definitions pages, and such. If you are viewing this page in a browser which doesn't support full current Unicode coding (such as Microsoft's Internet Explorer - though version 8 is almost there) or if you haven't installed current free Unicode fonts, such as Code2000, many of the phonetic characters, diacritical marks, and symbols in these pages will not show up or will show up as boxes. We welcome all feedback, though as an entirely volunteer supported website, we do not guarantee to process it within any time frame or for other than for ascertainable accuracy and usefulness. Thanks. |
