Words are excellent tools to help us communicate, but they are limited. Here is how the authors strive to use these words:

Best Guess: Our best guess. While this phrase is self-explanatory, recognizing that is what we are working with, may not be obvious. Our intent is to use this phrase to remind ourselves (and you) that we are working with a guess. This can be related to our Level of Experience. When we are working on the edge of our knowledge and experience, we often need to proceed based on our best guess. Sometimes, best guess is as good as it gets.

Dimensions: A level of consciousness, existence, or reality. We are connected to many dimensions. Some we are aware of, and some we are not. Examples of dimensions are the Physical, the Mental, the Emotional, and the Spiritual. What happens on one dimension can affect other dimensions.

The Divine: Spirit

Divine Essence: Soul Essence. This is the pure energy that spun off The Divine when we were created.

GOD: We use this word in all capitals for that Presence that is that is infinite and beyond description. In a sense, it can be thought of as the summation of all views of God (Spirit, Source, Creator, Father God, Allah, etc.) Or as one soul said, GOD is beyond what we can imagine, and even beyond that.

Intuition: The ability to be aware of, or know something from other than the logical mind. This is sometimes called the sixth sense.

Soul: Our deepest and truest nature that we came in with and what continues after death. Some sources do not consider the Soul to be our pure essence because these say that the Soul also carries things from life like memories and karma. However, the Soul is still seen as being connected to or a part of GOD (the Divine, Truth, God, Great Mystery, etc.)

Soul Essence: This is the part of the Soul that contains the pure spiritual energy that was spun off of Spirit when we were created.

Source: The source of everything. This could be called God, the Creator, etc., or it could be considered as a part of GOD.

Spirit: The source of Spiritual Energy. When the energy is called the life source, then Spirit is often called the Universal Life Source. This could be called God, the Creator, Source, etc., or it could be considered as a part of GOD. Instead of having to agree on a view of the source of the energy, we suggest that there is a source and that we have chosen to call this source Spirit.

Spiritual Energy: Each one of us has an energy that animates our physical being. Sometimes this is called the life force. We have chosen to call this spiritual energy and to consider that this comes from Spirit.
