septicious

A polite way of saying what is of or like that which is septic, that is to say: "shitty". Also, in Latin a septum is a wall, so something septicious walls one off from that which is pleasant.

poa constrictor

This is a person who either consciously or unconsciously constricts the spiritual development of others due to treating others and oneself as a mere pile of atoms (see poa). This is a double pun as both a play on the phrase "boa constrictor" and the more subtle pun that such a snake inhibits breathing of the victim. Breath is known in Greek as "pneuma" and is synonymous with "spirit".

She showed herself to be a poa constrictor when she never offered any positive assessment to the fledgling spiritual questions asked by her children.

Syndeucy

A variation of Acey Deucy (which is a variation of Backgammon). In Syndeucy, the pieces all move counter clockwise with both opponents coming onto the board in the same quadrant. This makes for a much more active game with much opportunity for revenge.

They played Syndeucy into the night, oblivious that Sean Richardson (the creator of Syndeucy)had passed his idea to them through a chain of players.

yeshic

This means of or related to the original way of Yeshua (the Aramaic name of Jesus of Nazareth in his mother tongue). Hence, this refers to the master and disciple relationship by which Yeshua taught in order to pass on to the disciples teachings aimed at developing higher states of consciousness exemplified by Yeshua's own development and example. A somewhat more derivative approach might be congregational but still aimed at development of similar love, compassion, and egolessness. That which is yeshic is contrasted with the many ramifications that characterize the modern splintering of Yeshua's message that can all too often revert to personality adoration, bland repetition, or overt ego inflation and control of others in the name of Yeshua. A yeshic style aims at developing the living Yeshua (Jesus Christ) within so that the practioner is transformed in consciousness and behavior.

The minister's yeshic teaching aimed his congregation toward deep love and service to others in the way of the master they sought to follow.
