This isn't about the Illuminati - it's about the way words contain their meanings within themselves.

You take the letters in a word, use them to make other words, and see what you get. You can only use the letters in the original word for each new word.

I read it in Linda Goodman's Star Signs. She gives the examples: 'North' = not hot
'South' = so hot, along with many others.

And then there's 'pirates' - rape at sea/tears at sea/prats at sea

And Earth - tear the heart/eat the heart/heat the heart/hate the heart, etc

Heat = hate

anger = rage

teacher = reach each ear/teach each ear

Believe = veil evil lie, etc

It's fascinating doing it with people's names!

I find her books interesting too.

I think words have messages in them often, but I'm not sure about always.

I don't think you can always tell everything from making sentences out of words or names, but sometimes words that pop out of words do resonate for me, such as:

Nature- true tune

Forrest- for rest


There was an interesting thread here about Linda's missing daughter, Sally. Did you read it? It is going back a few months ago, I don't have the link saved though.

Hey

Cheers. No, I didn't read it - I'll have a look for it. Dreadful thing; poor Linda.
