Just another nut?

I really don't think it's that hard for you to lay out a premise and then begin to explain it, citing sources and answering questions as they come. The reason you're catching flak now is because you're doing what most believers do, which is saying you've found something, then saying we won't understand it (without even knowing the bona fides of the people on this forum) and thus you can't explain it.

Just read the wikipedia article about Cratylus. Not sure why that would support that there were inherent deeper meanings behind words, or that some words stood for a code, or what "spell" you're referring to. Perhaps you can send me to either the full work or the source that gave you that connection.

My use of the word "spell" was intended to indicate that there is a connection between the Plato's ideas about how words can be disguised by altering spelling and the true nature of "magic". Magic is yet another cover under which allegoric ideas are communicated. You don't really believe in witches and wizards, do you?

For example take a "bull" in Greek - "taurus" and add an "s" to get "staurus" and voila', you have a "cross". ("Staurus" is Greek for "cross".) Waive your "wand" (or writing implement) again and you can make taurus become "Tarsus", the Apostle Paul's home town. (Paul's name means "small" so you might also say that "Smallville" was also Paul's town.)

A link for Plato's Cratylus is : http://classics.mit.edu/Plato/cratylus.html

I have also created a thread in the Christianity section that offers a small sample of how I interpret allegory.
