The Meaning of Psyche

The Meaning of Psyche

 
Psyche –
also known as Lepida
or The Oracle
(and referred to by the personal pronouns ‘they’, ‘them’ and ‘their’) –
sat down to commune with spirit
and focused on the target.

Words soon appeared
in ancient languages
(Chinese, Sanskrit, Koine Greek, Latin and Old Norse).

In due course,
Lepida settled the English translation
shown below.

        Supernatural phenomenon:
        indulgent, unrestrained, wanton,
        romantic, dissolute or debauched.

        All grow, plant and cultivate
        tribute, gifts or recommendations.

        Thoughtfulness and consideration
        (in the form of a homonym
        that could mean ‘departing for’ or ‘arrive at’)
        calms and pacifies …
        and cherishes women.

        False incrimination may –
        in certain circumstances –
        be associated with shamelessness, impudence, evil,
        shredding, tearing and fighting
        (lop it off).

        Abnormal events’ love or fondness?

        The Latin language, people or culture
        made the same, solitude, unity
        and that which is sincere and truthful
        the ‘way’ …
        demonstrating respect
        for the knowledge of language, the minute,
        what will come, an elephant and rice.

        From what is innate
        (in the physical world),
        the creation of love, affection and esteem
        releases and desires
        beauty, manners and goods …
        a wondering
        setting in motion
        settlement and calm.

        Women?

        The foundation …
        in short.

        Those who are not used to events
        that are real
        or consequential to what is made, done or performed regularly
        are inconsistent, illogical, stupid or absurd.

        Since sight, pretext, perspective,
        honour, category and even a dream
        is wonderous or admirable,
        approaching raising or stimulating a sweetheart
        is fundamental
        child.

        An unusual fate –
        a rising privy, inspiration, poetry,
        mind, madness or violence.

        All ducks die.

        To come or arrive and rise as a woman
        is essential …
        look and see!

Upon some initial retrospection,
it appeared that ‘spirit’
wished it all to be heard.

In this case,
however,
it was the ‘aspirations’
(spirit)
of the ‘one who appeared to have extra-sensory powers’
(they who were known as Psyche, Lepida or The Oracle).

Psyche laughed at the idea of Lepida’s skills
being confused with other psychics.

‘The Oracle’,
by the way,
was used by Psyche –
on occasions –
like a pseudonym.

In contrast,
Lepida could be taken,
potentially,
as a name
(it can also be interpreted as ‘pleasantness’, ‘charm’ and ‘wit’
[and even ‘effeminate’]).

As for the meaning of Psyche?

One way to answer that question
would be to read their material –
they typically thought it was written
in a matter-of-fact manner
that left little scope for misinterpretation.

Another answer might be,

        “It can be read in various ways –
        including a name and a descriptor
        (such as ‘a person’
        [as it is used in the Septuagint],
        ‘animate existence’
        [or the animating principle of life],
        a disembodied spirit,
        the faculty of reason
        and even ‘a butterfly’)”.

Which response is apt,
of course,
depends –
to a degree –
on what is meant
by the question.
