New Words Coined.

1. In the past, so as to differentiate between mental activity [commonly called thinking] and thinking [by which I mean those thought processes that do not involve the mind], I coined the word mentivity. Today, as a result of something new that is happening with me, I have coined another two words.
2. To differentiate between the Sanskrit darshana generally meaning anything seen and sometimes meaning something not seen with the eyes; a vision which has many interpretations; an epiphany, which implies something instigated by God, and a realisation which has a mental as well as a spiritual connotation, I have coined the word neopt, pronounced nay - opt, and its various derivatives, from old German and Latin. See below.
blisstasy n. that spiritual 'quality of being' or 'state of being' which is beyond the physical/mental (emotional) experience and surpasses joy, bliss, love et al.
blisstatic adj.
mentivity* n. mental activity commonly called 'thinking'.
ment* v. think; adv. to think; n. a thought.
menter* n. one who ments.
menting* v. thinking.
moul n. soul or mind - since I neopt them to be the same.
neopt (nay-opt) vb. neopts, neopting, neopted. to see without the eyes. [from ne (D) + ops (L) = no + eye]
neoption n. something seen without the eyes.
neopter n. one who sees without the eyes.
neoptic adj. a neoptic incident, occurrence etc.

In THE CONTEXT in which my understanding of dyslexia has been established through ART and ”dyslexic artists” and the evolving neuro-scientific understanding of how the brain processes input and output, I am sure you will all understand how IT has been particularly difficult for me to put ALL my understanding into words.
Words are dangerous for dyslexics ! … such that they have to be said in a multi-layer contextural manner … in order that “the picture of what is to be said” can be communicated in as few words as possible, rather than the 1000 words which the majority of lexics seem to require to do the same job.
Bravo & ALL hail to Ian for likewise converting his “neoptions” into words …
