Let me get clearer. Is HGA supposed(or does it happen regularly), to give a particular word and to base a lot his teachings on such a word? In a way similar to the Magus who will give a word to humanity, say "thelema" and then base most of his teachings on this?</p>
<p dir="auto">Maybe i can get even clearer. A great difference between what i consider my HGA(for about a year) and other subtle beings is he does this stuff. It's a very specific way of comunicating which i never noticed from anyone else. It makes me associate with this "magus stuff".</p>
<p dir="auto">Basically he told me a word, and almost nothing else ! But he SHOWED me many many ways of interpreting and applying this same word. I notice this word has deep meanings and consequences for me. I'm surprised i still consider it a mystery after a year meditating on it. I may continue for years on that same word as it seems endless.</p>
<p dir="auto">Also, i noticed it's important for that being that i continue meditating on this. There's no way i can keep contact without keeping on this. I know there's not even a point in talking to him again(for months now !) before i apply better this word in everyday life. He keeps watching and will remain silent till i'm ready for the next step. I must apply better to get further teaching. Is this pedagogy something related to HGAs? Once again it never happened with any other being.</p>

The word "word" isn't necessarily meant literally. It has a wider meaning of an impulse, an utterance of intention, etc. The True Will is the voice of the HGA streaming through us.</p>

<p dir="auto">But often there is also a literal word. In fact, the Angel's name is commonly the most characteristic example of this. (To take a public example: Crowley's HGA had a name that enumerated both to 93 and 418, he formulae of Crowley's own Will and Work.)<br />
"</p>
<p dir="auto">Yes the meaning is very wide and subtle... thus the endless puzzle, associations... it feels like both writing and reading a story at the same time. And yes there's a will implied, so there is intention, impulse, a "frequency adjusting" and alchemical ways to achieve that on all planes... all related.</p>
<p dir="auto">The being "showed" me directly by "doing" partly what i'm supposed to do. But it's very challenging to say the least. Like if rafael nadal showed his service to a begginer and told him:"now your turn ! do the same" and left him on the tennis court until he does the same service. If i could master what he did the way he did it(HGA, not Nadal  <img src="https://thelema.org/forum/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f606.png?v=b470f3dfed9" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--laughing" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title=":laughing:" alt="😆" />  ) , i would probably be an adept. I swear i will do someday. Whatever it takes. No way i refuse such a challenge.</p>
<p dir="auto">Now reading this i realise i "forgot" associating the word with the name. I dont see manifest correspondances but it may be a tree hiding a forest once again. Whats funny is both word and name begins with the same letter. And now this double letter makes me associate with some life experiences ! And people ! And numbers ! <img src="https://thelema.org/forum/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f632.png?v=b470f3dfed9" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--astonished" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title=":astonished:" alt="😲" />  Also there are various related correspondances in all the four langages i know. I will associate all of these with hebrew and see. I love this stuff  <img src="https://thelema.org/forum/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f600.png?v=b470f3dfed9" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--grinning" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title=":grinning:" alt="😀" /></p>

<p dir="auto">Yes, this sort of encoded arational puzzle happens with some frequency</p>

<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">"This may also appl to non-Magi working within the stream. For example, my 1985 magical retreat delivered to me, in its last minutes, the phrase that fully aticulated my True Will, everything I had been doing unconsciously all of my life, everything I'd been unthinkingly preparing for: "Train all to know and to do their True Will." Wanting to reduce it to a single word, I broke it down Qabalistically to LAHVTY <em>(Lahoti)</em>. It enumerates to 61, which wa a warm belly-laugh of an inside joke for me. - Sometime later my mind went to, "Yes, this is for me, but it's not whatI would <em>utter.</em>" I realized that the message, from this, that I would utter to others was, "Learn to know and do you True Will!" It meant dropping the Lamed from the front. The resulting word - AHVTI <em>(Ahoti)</em> - enumerates to 31.</p>

<p dir="auto">This wasn't the Word of a Magus, but he Word of a Zelator. It has served me in my life very well since then, though."</p>
<p dir="auto">Maybe that helps?</p>

Instead of it being THE WORD OF THE AEON,<br />
It is the Word of YOUR AEON (movement from general to particular)<br />
I may go as far to say it is the key to your True Will<br />
This, of course, is speculation based off my personal experiences <img src="https://thelema.org/forum/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f604.png?v=b470f3dfed9" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--smile" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title=":smile:" alt="😄" /></p>
