DEFINITIONS: Foundational Meanings for an Awakened Humanity is an emerging reference book of sourced definitions of key words and phrases that are often used in spirituality. DEFINITIONS is co-arising with Ontology of Supreme Perfection and Beyond Every Teaching, and each of the three books is informing and clarifying the other two.

The primary function of DEFINITIONS is to illuminate the root meanings of spiritual terms from the perspective of Source, which is the Source of all meaning. In profound clarity, every concept serves awakeness, and supremely clear definitions turn words into enlightening transmissions. As communication becomes increasingly lucid, confusion and unawakeness disappear from the Mind that is all minds. When the Mind is completely void of confusion, all that is is known directly and the need for definitions disappears. Thus one purpose of this book is to render itself unnecessary.

Although DEFINITIONS is in the seed stage, the work in progress is being shared for the benefit of early readers and as an experiment in defragmenting the Mind. The process of sourcing and refining these definitions clarifies the field of consciousness regardless of how many people read them. The definitions will continue to be distilled and refined for clarity until they are no longer needed. Meanwhile, it is anticipated that the first edition of DEFINITIONS will be completed in 2025.

Notes:

1. All of these definitions are still emerging and evolving, and more will be added. Although the book version of DEFINITIONS is anticipated for 2025, this draft is being shared for the benefit of early readers.

2. If there are bold terms in the table of contents, these indicate that the associated definitions reflect a new level of clarity. Other entries will be revised as needed to reflect this greater degree of clarity.
