There’s some communities and circles out there that use the term Grand Rising instead of Good morning.
The story is that good morning sounds like ‘good mourning’ and often evokes a dread or dreary response by using subliminal messaging from homophonic speech patterns. Essentially Words that sound the same may elicit or borrow or evoke the meaning. It’s like a sort of subliminal hypnosis suggesting an idea within the hierarchy of meaning assigned to the words you use or hear.
There are of course other theories, such as this comedic skit (warning profanity included);
I dislike this association with ‘mourning’ and consider it a psyop, mainly because the term ‘good morning’ originates from Germanic ‘good morgen’ and isn’t meant to directly relate to the term Mourning.
Perhaps someone or some group altered it for a reason. I doubt it’s intentionality but there persists a better point I’d like to elucidate.
The point being, the stronger narrative of the origin of a story gives it more purpose. If you want to say grand rising, then by all means. If you want to think that good morning is related to a mourning ritual or mourning, then that’s also your choice.
But if you are avoiding the term morning because it has homophonic connotations with mourning out of fear, then you’re lapping up the psyop and operating out of a fear based modality which is actually not very spiritually attuned (in my opinion).
I would suggest not living in fear, but hey, I’m just a guy on the internet. You are fine to be mindful of your word choice and usage, and you are also perfectly within your own reason to ascribe your own meanings and stories behind these words, signs, symbols, and logos.
Side note
If you want the fear based approach, sure, I’ll cook you up something for ‘Grand Rising’ as a replacement. Grand Rising sounds like Grand Writhing where your soul is writhing and tortured in pain within the awakened dark and grey world we inhabit.
-or Grand Rising sounds like a greeting that you give to the damned and the dead for resurrecting themselves. Allbeit, when we ‘wake’ up we come back to life and our consciousness resumes it’s being in our bodies. Thus the term Grand Rising can evoke connotations of ceremonial necromancy, this is of course fear based if you have negative views or fear on necromancy and/or magic.
Additionally, saying hello sounds like hell or hel depending on your specific pantheon. So you could be referencing hell itself.
See, you can make subliminal hypnotic languaging by ascribing a story into the meaning of the words. The stronger your belief in that story, the more power it holds over you. Worst case scenario, you find negative and fear based stories on all words and their double-edged meanings and you become silenced afraid to make any sounds in this cacophony we called a universe.
It’s okay to make noise, and intentions matter.
Epilogue
I just had a small gripe with people parroting the story of good morning being a mourning thing and often times people spread this story out of fear or some high brow spiritual subversion of linguistics. Honestly, Grief and mournings aren’t something that is purely negative or evil, it’s not supposed to be something that you ignore or shy away from and run away. In fact you have to sort of integrate the shadow sides of reality and life or else you’ll sort of repress it and be blinded by the light.
Also, I’m not a big fan of people that toot their own horn and become a high brow holier than thou person. If they breath and shit, then they’re probably mortal like the rest of us. It’s very, well, limiting and un-spiritual to not be egalitarian in everyone’s empowerment and spiritual prowess.
Sometimes perceived Holy people are actually just egoic narcissist putting up a front. But whatever, I’m just here to remind people that they have a choice to not live in fear and say the usual saying;
