I know this has probably been answered and I think I've even read it somewhere, but how do you interpret a lexigramed phrase or name that contains 'not' or such a word? I was playing around with my name and it contains 'a healer' but also 'not a healer'. What about 'death' appearing in someone's name? I'm an amateur at this, so I'm sorry if this has been discussed a million times.

I believe it would be hidden in the whole context of the name. What other messages/words are there? A pat answer wouldn`t really fit without k-nowing the whole set of letters/phrase. For instance, to soften the "not a healer" it may say "not a healer but a helper or minister or whatever". Does that make sense?


Maybe someone else has a better answer for you... lexiers?

Good point juniper and I agree. I guess the only thing would be that if there's a 'not' couldn't anything it says then have the not in front of it? And so it ends up saying the opposite of everything... that was awkwardly worded... anyone else?

No and not generally refers to negative things (reverses or negates them).

Hi 8degrees,

I agree that NO/NOT normally negates THINGS and normally refers to "THINGS" rather than persons... very often a question crops up, ie: Is it a sin? or Is it for me? and then you can generally see either a YES or a NO/NOT in the lexi...

But then again, your S-elf knows best, listen to it and it will speak to you and you will see the RIGHT message.

Let us see what you come up with!

Interesting topic....my last name is not spelled backwards, and as far as lexing my name, it brings strife because there are so many awesome things in it, but my last name would in essence, negate them.

Not surprising, I have hated my last name my whole life, and I don't even like saying it out loud- even many many years before I came across the art of lexigramming. Someday, I hope to be able to change it, but I still haven't found a name that inspires me to change it.

Mother, Miracle and Randall- thanks very much for your respective two cents. I found an example from a website that is perfect for what I'm questioning, a lexigram for abortions:

ABORTIONS

IT IS TORN. IT IS NOT BORN. IT IS A ROBOT.

A ROBOT IS NOT BORN - NO SIN

IS ABORTION A SIN? NO. IT IS NOT A SIN

Obviously I can't make any claims on who did this lexigram, but especially in the last sentence- couldn't it also say "IS ABORTION A SIN? IT IS A SIN." ? Just because the NOT can be found in the word, does it have to be included? It seems like you can arrange them to say what you want them to say.

I'm not trying to sound like a cynic because I truly do believe that lexigrams can be sources of wisdom and that language contains a lot of secrets. I guess I just want to clear this up for myself. Anyway. The light in my room just randomly turned off. So I'm off to sleep.

Linda wrote that Lexigram. To have something negative in the word and NO or NOT means that it will be falsely accused of that.

Greetings...

These are what I refer to as a test of faith. When a Lexigram such as ABORTIONS contains seemingly conflicting ideas... then each person must choose for him/her self what they believe.

Linda was of the opinion, in light of this Lexigram, that abortion was not a sin, and was trying to use the power of her writing to comfort people who have made the decision to abort.

The conundrum is to investigate what YOU believe to be the case based on the evidence presented by the Lexigram.

As you say, the sentence could as easily be rendered:

ABORTION IS A SIN.

OR

NO, ABORTION IS NOT A SIN.

It has certainly been a debate that has raged for decades, and there are people on both sides of the fence. So the actual question is not which view is CORRECT, but rather, which view do YOU Accept?

Isn't that the purpose of Lexigramming.. to uncover secrets that are truly hiding in plain sight, and to meditate upon them that we may grow and evolve?

Blessings in the Light...
A

Hi 8degrees,

I understand that you might be somewhat confused...

The above lexigram is Linda's and it belongs to the section of Star Signs where she very clearly, in simple words explains THE ZEBRA RULE.

With the zebra rule, there could be no confusion. The rule makes yes/no/not lexis crystal clear. And it applies to the above lexigram.

Get Star Signs! Quick.

Okay. I have come to terms with this. Makes sense now. Like everything in life, the only truth is what we decide to believe. Thanks all! I've read Star Signs but I'll reread the Lexi chapter.

Ciao!
