Spelling is spell binding. Words were invented to control, confuse, create chaos and collapse within society. Before words we communicated telepathically, conveying pure meaning without error. Words and languages hinder our true nature, keeping us in our head where nothing is clear and mean-ing can change on a di me. Each word you choose may represent something entirely different to each person you meet.

GAY
GAIO from 12th century Old Spanish was a word describing one who was joyful, agreeable, charming and very pleasant. This morphed into the very social word GAY during the 14th century, used to describe the most friendly, merry, bright, carefree and gloriously beautiful experiences or get togethers, used freely and frequently to bring the ambiance of light and happiness to a conversation. Old German GAHI or WAHI, also morphed into GAY, meaning beautiful, pretty or splendid.
In the 1940’s psychological writing began using GAY as a slang words for homosexuality, or those who would wear attire associated with the opposite sex. This led to people shrinking from using the word so liberally, due to social misunderstandings. Today some take offense to its use, and some see it as a word that causes ridicule.
WOKE
The word woke used to mean aware, actively attentive, with a higher view capable of perceiving vast information all at once. Many perceive the word woke as meaning, awakened, enlightened, more savvy than others.
Recently, the word WOKE became more well known as a term describing what some groups term social inequalities such as their idea of sexism. It has also been used as slang for ideas involving identity politics and social justice, such as the notion of white privilege and slavery reparations. It has been weaponized by some to attack those who do not view things their way. To be WOKE now involves seeing things only one way; the opposite of the original meaning of the word.
RECESSION
Recession, from the word recede or move backward, used to mean economic decline during which trade and industrial activity are reduced. Apparently it now means the economy is booming.
BAD
The word BAD used to mean something that was not good; not preferred or ethical. Michael Jackson, with his song titled BAD, may have been a key figure in promoting the word BAD as a title for those who are more powerful or somehow looked up to as standing for good and fighting that which was once seen as BAD.
AWE
In the 1300’s, AWFUL meant worthy of respect and admiration; to be full of AWE. In the 1800’s it flipped to represent something unpleasant or negative, reverting back to its original root, prior to the 1300’s when it was acquainted with terror.
