I do not know what terms of MEST are. I think we use quite a lot of the toltec/CC lexicon and some terms from the shamanic lexicon. Most importantly we use those we think will be understood. I agree with Pixie that it can overcomplicate things and one of the primary aims of communicating is for the message to be understandable.
Moreover, it is my personal preference to use simple language where possible. I have seen enough of clouding with fancy terms to the detriment of clarity (academia anyone?
A complicated way of talking to make oneself feel fancy and smart - I've had enough of those types of environments for a lifetime).
1) I assume your terms are ignored because they are not understood.
2) People have different terminology and language systems. The way they express themselves is proper for them and their aims.
rosy, what do you consider as terms of MEST? Which are the terms you would like to see used here? And what exactly is MEST even?
