upo-

PIE base ‘under, up from under, over’.

[Pokorny *upo-, up, eup, (e)up-s-, pp. 1106–1107.]

assumption

When we make assumptions about the world we live in, based on those that our parents, teachers, and other forebears have made, we are inevitably led into delusion. We cannot even assume the postulates of Euclid, as ‘self-evident’ truths, for these do not originate at the Spring of all creativity.

Source

Source entered the English language in the mid 1300s to mean ‘support, base’, later that century meaning ‘first cause, origin’. Etymologically, the Source is something that has surged up, a most appropriate word to denote the way that Life bubbles up from the Divine Origin of the Universe, like a sparkling fountain, in the Eternal Now.
