The etymological origin of the English suffix – ment is often debated, yet it is overwhelmingly clear that those who created the English language deliberately chose mens, the Latin word for “mind,” to mean “the state of” or “the condition of,” in direct keeping with the First Principle of Natural Law, the Principle of Mentalism, which demonstrates that in order for any particular thing, event, circumstance, state or condition to exist as it currently does in our manifested reality (the Plane of Effects), it must first have existed in mind (the Plane of causality).
