Please note, the purpose of these words is for you to practice investigation by looking into the meaning and source of a word(s) — and seeing its connection to your study, meditation and life. You can take one word a day and spend 5 or 10 minutes doing research practice. You can start anywhere on the list. If you are a participant in the teachings and study with Theodore, then after your study and reflection, you may (if desired) email Theodore using the word in a sentence that indicates your understanding or insight realized during your research and investigation.
