A Southern belle is not only a lady, but a notable lady who is charming. It dates to the French about 1600, but goes further back to the ancient Latin bella who had both those attributes as well as being well-mannered.

At one time in America, they wore hoopskirts and would sashay around as they danced. It sounds silly, but when ladies wear some costume from that period, they get very girly ie feminine and it is pleasing.

The period historical drama The Beguiled was fairly recently remade in which an Irish immigrant, who takes a job in the Yankee army during the Civil War, is wounded by shranel. He's found by a female student at a young ladies school in the South. They all end up caring for him, and primping and commence to be quite taken with the rogue and sashay around to get his attention...despte him being technically "the enemy".

It is well worth watching.

Re: The language we were GIVEN to use?.....heh, be circumspect of the words you say
I mentioned in a post yesterday about how language is a big tool of control. We truly don't have the whole story with what we've been "given," and what story we do have was made to subjagate.

I started writing and kept on going, so it's a little long....if you read it, then you were meant to. If not, your choice.

I'm starting with an extremely common phrase used everyday, by millions upon millions. It's a pharse we automatically respond with to, "Thank you"...."You are welcome."


"You are wELcome".....you see the w? That's a message, a SYMBOL to open up your consciousness, opening your mind up to deliver the message....EL come. EL is an ancient word for a god....and we of course know what "come" means....be with me now. That it's an ancient word points to it's "universality" of usage, its ease to enter your mind with, because your consciousness has heard it for lifetimes. We've become "accustomed" to it.

It sounds beautiful, yes?.....god, be with me now. It's almost as if your saying to the person thanking you, may the god within you be with me now or may the god within me be with you now....but that is not the words coming out of our mouths, are they?

In this land of duality, doesn't it only matter when you know what god you're welcoming into yourself or projecting onto another?....because therein, at least you have choice. Most of us will always line up for a benevolent god, not a malevolent god.

But what if you don't know about the power of the words "you are w**come".....at least not beyond it being a surface pleasantry and a massive CUSTOM....check out that word, while you're at it. I'm not going to tell you about that one, because if you're interested in it, I want you to decipher it yourself......rimshot 'feed a man or teach a man'.

What if we are welcoming whatever "god" out there to be with us, in our ignorance of what we are saying?....oh so very many countless times in a lifetime do we say those three little words, "You are w**come," and every time we are participating FREELY in our own stink pot training....if our heart isn't constantly trained on benevolence.

Duality dictates that holding any one thought is difficult, it's easier with your heart....that's why we're to still our minds, and go inside our hearts to "listen" to to our god-self expanded selves --

I'm sorry, I really do so dislike the word "god"....such a small word that's made such a cluster fuck of everything here on the Big Bluesy Marble. It's not that I don't deeply love the concept of high vibration beings, it's that it has been used by dark forces to retain us in a servitude mindset. It is incredibly sad, what they've done to the concept of a creator.....because we are all creators, we're just at different levels of creative abilities while in body. Heh, some of us have bashed ourselves in the head lifetime after lifetime, because we're constantly having to learn how to rise above our minds, and drop ourselves into our hearts.

If you've a soul, then you are, at any soul level of experience, a creator....not a "god" - pewie! *spits* - a CREATOR. Know the difference, because they are different. Human beings were created uniquely....we honestly were not created with god complexes and a drive to become a god or to serve a god. We were created to experience....and our creativity is one way we describe our experience with and in life.

It's one of Humanity's most beloved attributes, our ability to create. We do it everyday, but how many of us realize it, and realize it to the depth it would rock our world of people if we all got on the same page and said these three simple words, "All is One"?

Heh, ".....and the walls of Jericho came tumbling down."

Thank you, C's (a personal note to "Us")......hf


I'll tell ya, I do not say "You're w**come" anymore. Given that I KNOW it's a tool of design to subjugate Humanity, how can I use it? How can I say that to a fellow human being on the same road as I, tryin' to get "home" just like me?

I can't because, because I love Humanity.

Now I just say, "Not a problem" or my favorite, "It was my pleasure"....because that's what you are receiving IN SPIRIT given using the word of w**come, you are receiving good energy from someone who is telling you thank you. Be grateful, don't damn your benefactor of goodwill to hell, with a smile on your face.....like an ignorant idiot.....

.....because if you have any concept of evil in your consciousness, whether you're down with it or not, then you are subject to the deleterious effects of it....things are just that messed up here in 3D Land. We seriously barely know if we're coming or going. One has to live from within their heart to stay true to the one path that walks us to liberation.

Why use the word and the phrase?....throw it out. It is trash....it is "refuse," environmental garbage....it is a tool to re-FUSE us to the will of what is less than what we want and strive to be.

God is a word I'm still working on understanding within myself.....although I do think I worked through some of my misgivings with its use here: I just don't like it, like it's used in 3D Land....I cannot grow "accustomed" to it, heh.


At the depths and heights of our beings, as expanded ones, we are not separate.....and All is One.

If you're not already, then do start being circumspect of the words you're using, especially the ones we hold as meaningful....because those who screwed up language in this reality to the extent it has been?.....they are never going to give up, I assure you.

Remember, you are using these words with your children, your spouses, your siblings, your mother and father, your grandparents....all people you love. For millennia we've being doing it.

Be aware, okay? Use your power to choose what words come out of your mouth, so we're not constantly compounding our subjugation into existence every next moment.

We may eventually rise up above this very base reality, but we are not getting there without having to put up one unholy hell fight....righteously, I hope, but I won't fault anyone who has to fight dirty to claim your life as your own. It is indeed a fight with un-whole-liness.

Being vigilantly circumspect of words and language, consciously choosing not to use words you've identified as control tools, is an awesome undertaking and productive. Begin CREATING your own word choices and phrases of common use, ones that make you feel "lighter," more buoyant, jumped into the river of life and going with the flow, rather than positioning yourself for evil, the anti-thesis of live, and living well.....like what "It was my pleasure" does for me.

And having choice is one of the good things about a duality realm, and it is a "power" for good when used correctly. Our choices can uplift us, they are that powerful.

Being circumspect in this manner is a service to yourself and to others....you will be doing a benevolent service for All.

Heh, it is our highest calling right now, to be in Service of All, including ourselves.....our humanity needs us now more than ever.

Just watching what comes out of your mouth is a perfect place to begin or continue on from. KNOW what you're saying, so you're actually meaning what you say.


Heh, and thanks for making it to the end of this, if you did.....hf

Lovely, I've been watching out for these words that come out of my mouth for a while and talking to others about it. It give the word "Logos" a whole new meaning.

A whackjob is an person who is mentally ill and is extremely eccentric and plausibly dangerous who has such extreme kooky ideas that one cannot relate to them on any level. They do not inspire sympathy as ordinarily might be the case.

It dates to 1719 where newly mechanized equipment had taken a hard jolt and that had knocked gears loose and so the gears did not mesh anymore. Thus the mechanism could do no useful work.

The phrase "he has a screw lose..." has a similar origin. That one screw was the last one that kept that mechanism broken but functional, and now, it's badly malfunctioning...typically due to extreme vibration and poor maintenance.

Coming off the rails is similar too. If a jackleg ie a poorly trained worker who on his own made only terrible mistakes and had to be constantly supervised, say was feeding a coal hopper on a locamotive, and he overloaded it, all that excess power would hurl the entire train down the tracks. And going round a bend that was rated for far less speed, might then jerk boxcars off the rails.

You don't want that that to ever happen as they tumble ruining the cars, the freight, the tracks, any passengers and workers. It's a disaster.

The word pink arose from the about the mid1500s.

[link to wordhistories.net (secure)]

There are various possible entymologies related to female virtue like innocence but also blinking ie like batting eyelashes as an innocent wide eyed ingenue.

Anyone else appropriating it for feminism then is perverting the concept. Pink was emblematic of a maiden ie a female who is pure and untainted.

That is why pink was used for daughters.

Blue is of the sky and is an ancient pre-Greek god origin relating to Uranus who was the sky who was the entire universe who glanced at Gaia the earth and fell in love.

Thus originallyis masculine and was used for sons at their birth.

Far far later it changed in medieval Christianity under Roman Catholicism in western Europe to be emblematic of the Virgin Mary. Then artists would use blue for that symbolically.

That is why young maidens wore blue ribbons in their hair.

The urban slang terms "word" and "church" are emblematic of TRUTH because so many African Americans have a Baptist affiliation. Thus "word" recollects the Bible as the Word of El Shaddai and Jesus as the Living Word.

A jackleg is a poser who is dishonest and incompetent. They pretend to be knowledgable, but straight away lack the tools of an artisan. In the old days, they had goofy combination knives rather like a Leatherman tool and would show up at a work site and be soundly mocked.

Catawampus is associated with a jackleg. A jackleg being such a miserable worthless carpenter wannabe could not produce a square perpendicular angle or any other kind of angle consistently in the furniture he built.

Imagine such a moron building a cabin! It would be a disaster and the floor would be tilted and the roof would leak like a sieve. That is catawampus. Everywhere one looks, the whole kit and caboodle is off kilter.

A noggin is an old archaic term for one's head...like the skull. In the old days in Scotland, and likely back to Viking raiders, on the sides of certain trees a burl noggin would form. That scar would build. And a craftsman would harvest the burl and make a beautiful cup from it.

A noggin then had a ladle like attachment and some used to dip their noggin in the stream to quench their thirst. And if some fool got to close when also doing likewise, he might bump against one's noggin. That was a huge INSULT like clanging against another's sword.

Some irascible Scot might do it on purpose to start a fight.

"You struck my noggin!"

And so he would box his ears and bash his head in. So striking one's noggin came to mean bashing an idiot's skull in.

This poser who imagined he was a "cowboy" because he read some circular and didn't know shit from shinola, couldn't do anything right, so he was a jackleg but even worse, probably was lazy, and oblivious on the trail doing stupid shit that might risk the horses and cattle.

If you had a lady sweetheart and you were a gallant guy, you would ask an artisan to make her a very feminine cameo as your sweetheart had all the feminine virtues. It was a badge of honour for her. Some man respected her and bought one for her and they were expensive. It took time and special treatment to producce one.

Well a wouldbe artisan who was a jackleg or merely careless would make a cameo and didn't prepare it right, so it came out green and so was worthless. And to give your sweetheart such a mishapen monstronsity would be an insult and make a ranch had furious as he also had paid for it.

So pioneers would find some urbanite rushing west and most likely carrying useless things in his kit and caboodle. Thus he had to discard them on the prairie making him look ridiculous. He often couldn't start a fire very well and might have to cheat with charcloth (typically used by the weathy).

So he was mocked as a green horn, not always unkindly. Kind devout Christians would try to suggest better ways of accomplishing a goal as they did not want to see him fail. He probably had a wife and baby in tow.

Cameos are very old fashioned jewelry that goes back to ancient times.

A long time ago, a man without prospects say was the 4th or 5th son, might "go to sea" to seek his fortune. He risked it as he most likely had a sweetheart too. There was a high chance he would die at sea from storms, piracy, sickness, accidents, malnutrition etc.

Or not as the survivors could get decent wages and even profit from the cargo.

So sailors would carve in their spare time including ivory. This is called scrimshaw and a sailor got better and better as some had no way to afford a painted image of their sweetheart, but by memory would try to "capture her likeness". Her comely face was always in their mind.

Now if he could just get home and marry her.

Similarly, a sailor might make his sweetheart a Valentine box and it took a long time as he had to know carpentry and scrimshaw and collect little treasures in his caboodle and put it together and keep it safe and from breaking. Upon returning, have glass placed in the frame.

This is gruesome, but the noggin was also because a Viking raider might drink from the skull of an enemy by pouring beer or mead in it and quaffing it.

It was a psy-op for a Viking to say to a Briton, "I will drink from your skull tonight."

A redneck hillbilly from Appalachia might say, "Aww, I feel off kilter" when he is sick or she got her heart broke.

Kilter originally was kelter (health or condition) and so it means the hillbilly(whose ancestors were likely Scots) felt their overall well being was hurtin' because of that illness, and no illness is worse than a broken heart as it never truely mends.

They might shake their head and remark poorly made furniture is off kilter as well as it is made so badly, it wobbles.

For himself, a sailor had stuff in his kit and caboodle that were sentimental and little treasures and mementos of far away lands, shells, close calls where dangerous might happen, something that belonged to his "mate" his absolutely without question best friend in word and deed. A Viking would call such a man his shieldmate and they would fight back-to-back when in a real scrape.

Now shadow boxes are back in vogue and a kindly thoughtful wife will assemble a soldier's medals and a flag and put them in a shadow box. It's a big deal to him. That is an excellent present on Valentine's Day.

The worst thing that happen to a sailor was some damn fool did not anchor the cannons and so they broke loose during a storm. They were incredibly heavy and would dash to pieces the hold of a ship and crush sailors trying in vain to lock it down.

That is where the term "loose cannon" comes from. A loose cannon could kill one's mates.

"Yer outta yer cotton pickin' mind!

This used to be a common Southern saying as the worst job was pickin' cotton as only a fool or a desperately poor laborer who had no skills would do that job. There are sharp barbs on 'em that rip your hands open so you are bleeding. People would dip their hands in sumac water as that had tannic acid in it, and so toughen the skin. It sorta worked.

People wore gloves but that made it impossible to pluck out the cotton, so cut the fingers off.

A terrible farm job was when there was a hogkillin' afterward you had to clean the offal and reserve the intestines, remove fecal debris, so they could be made into casings for sausages. Meanwhile you would sweat and the salt would drip in your eyes and you dare not swipe it as you would get pig crap in your eye. Poor people would eat chitterlings plain.
