Decades ago, I remember hearing about linguists who studied word use among us. They noted that white people tend to think of the word white as implying clean and pure. They used words like "dark" and "black" as words to describe not clean or not good.
Sub-Saharan peoples, OTOH, would more often use "black" to denote good health and strength, and white to imply weakness or incompleteness.
I studied the Japanese language for a couple years and noted that they use the same Japanese word for clean as for attractive. I figure that helps explain why they are fanatical for bathing, grooming and dressing in new-looking clothes.
This quote from Ra may explain the use of the word "greeting" for an unwanted contact from an Orion entity where we would use "attack." They greeted Carla to nudge her toward their way of strength and control. When that didn't work, they wanted to rid our world of her because her group was encouraging that sloppy, awful STO lifestyle.
Thank you, spero, for the quote.
