Anglosophic Runelore 4010 - A
Anglosophic Runelore is a set of mental concepts which hopefully help a person make sense of the world.
Monos
The One. What there is only one of. The Universe. The whole of existence.
Monogen
That which generates, produces or gives existence to the Monos.
The qualities or ideals out of which the Universe is made, or by which the Universe can be explained.
Ashura
The Being.
The cause of all the movement in the world.
The source of all the different forms of movement.
Mazda (or Sophia)
Wisdom.
The cause of the patterning of activity in sympathy with what has come before and with the principles of relationship in order to produce good new patterns.
Archon
Governing power.
The cause of the way activities are deployed in the world.
The cause of the distribution of patterns.
Ashura-Mazda-Archon
Ashura-Mazda-Archon explains the production of the patterns of actual reality. If we liken the production of reality to the production of a painting then Ashura gives us the pallette of different colours, Mazda the techniques of painting to produce a good effect and the Archon decides what the picture will be about.
Drama
Action.
Where there is a boundary then Drama is the effect what happens on one side of the boundary has on what happens on the other side.
A person's drama is their actions on the world.
Karma
Conscious action.
Choice between different options of which one is conscious.
Drama & Karma
Drama are all a person's actions as normally understood, while karma are deliberate choices. Most of a person's activity happens without any reference to the conscious mind and thus proceeds automatically. Some choices of activity are given conscious attention and in this case there is freedom for a person to choose between options. All a person's activity is drama, but only in the latter case is it karma.
Artavista
Best joined.
The situation in which the way things connect to each other is the best (for the purposes of producing spiritual light).
Artalogos
Law of joining. Logic of relationship. Principles of interaction.
The cosmic law. The natural law.
The way things naturally join together or relate to each other.
Humanah
Good Mind. Good-willing Mind.
Mind in such a state that it tends to will good deeds.
Eudrama
Good action.
Action that has a good effect.
Samsara-Nirvana
Samsara is the state when a mind is connected to actual reality so that it the impressions being received by it bring up internal reactions within the mind (emotional response).
Nirvana is the state when a mind is emotionally disengaged from impressions made on it and thus remains placid.
Chrestiany
Chrestiany is a state of mind that tends to impel action that is useful in producing a benefit.
Opportunistic chrestiany is seeking to do good in situations as they present themselves.
Holistic chrestiany is seeking to be useful to the world as a whole.
Tanic & Urvanic Realms
The Tanic Realm is the material world, while the Urvanic Realm is the world of the spirit.
The Tanic Realm is open (the physical universe) whereas the Urvanic Realm is divided into multiple separate enclosures (the minds of living beings).
Urvan, Psyche, Ravan
The Urvan is either a) all the movement of a person's mind or b) the sum total of a person's drama.
The Psyche is the relatively stable aspects of a person's urvan.
The Ravan is the sum total of a person's karma.
(N.B. This Urvan/Ravan distinction is novel. Traditionally Urvan=Ravan and derives from a root reflecting movement. Normally translated in English as soul.)
Soul
The seat of consciousness.
What a living being has which a non-living being does not have.
