We now borrow pieces from the previous message and add current understandings. A definition is the meaning associated with anything. As we continuously experience personal growth, every definition will eventually expand. This is in accordance with the process of progressing through levels of awareness which require more meaning. For example, from infancy to old age, our understanding of what “milk” means, changes:
1. No word for it but it satisfies.
2. No word for it but it comes from this place on my mother.
3. No word for it but it also comes from this thing I'm being given.
4. Bah-bah (bottle) is the word for it as best as I can say it.
5. Milk is the word.
6. Milk comes in a cup, a glass, a bowl, etc. I can use a straw or spoon but a fork doesn't work. Milk is fun to pour out.
7. Milk comes from the refrigerator.
8. Milk comes from the store.
9. Milk comes from a cow that says moo.
10. Milk comes from schools, restaurants.
11. For some reason Santa drinks milk but I don't question it.
12. More is learned about the process of milking a cow. I hear the word udder but make no connection to bottle or breast.
13. Sooner or later I hear about breastfeeding but make no connection to what I hear about mammals and mammary glands and why humans are called mammals.
14. Milk makes strong bones and teeth but I don't know how. Seems to me an apple would make my teeth stronger.
15. Different uses of milk in pancakes and ice cream and hot chocolate that Santa should be drinking, etc.
16. Milk has calcium and Vitamin D but I don't know what either of those are.
17. There's a milky way in the sky made of stars and one you can eat.
18. Milk comes from a lot of different animals but in most countries people drink cow's milk.
19. Cheese comes from milk, says who?
20. In some places people drink the milk of other types of animals such as reindeer.
21. Wait a minute, coconuts have milk.
22. Humans are the only animals that drink the milk of other animals.
23. Why do I still need milk if I'm not a baby? Do other animals drink milk all their lives?
24. There's something called the milk of the word.
25. Milking it is usually not a good thing, except in sports when you're winning. And this list goes on. All of our current definitions have gone through similar stages of change, some for better, some for worse. Most of our definitions are stagnant fragments functioning like repulsive magnets with each other while we try to hold them together in a holey worldview filled with gap-riddled thought processes.

Definition identifies and explains connections (relationships) to the Two Circles (Metaform & Metaphor, the After & the Before). Therefore, definition describes the relationship of what is being defined to all else.
We know definitions we use range from optimal to suboptimal, thus so do our understandings based on layers and layers of nutritious, far less nutritious and toxic definitions. A metaphor is a different form of sameness.
A metaform is the sameness of different forms.
As the Cycle turns the corner, our definitions also must be transformed back to recapture more optimal meanings so we can understand who we are in relation to who other creations are, thus make better use of our genetic potential, thus help make this world a better place. Word & Phrase Variations: finite, definite, infinite, destiny, divine, divination, divide, knowing self through something else.
