Name embedding in customs

There are a lot of people out there with our name
So if we install those beliefs in our subconscious about the owner of a particular name including ourselves, would we have same beliefs about other owners of the name?

Are you asking whether people with the same name as you will end up having the same beliefs because you listened to your custom?

I believe he’s asking whether or not the effect of his self-perception will be the same as the way he perceives people with his own name.

So if his name is Mohammed and he runs an ‘alpha’ focused custom, will he perceive all Mohammeds to be alphas in the way he perceives himself; I believe that’s the question.

My personal opinion is that it wouldn’t affect a thing because our brains are able to perceive a sense of self vs other.

It depends on how Saint and Fire have built these titles in relation to your name.

“You, Mohammed, are…”

“Mohammed is…”

“Have you considered that fact that you, Mohammed, are…”

“Mohammed seems to be…”

These each feel different, no? I guarantee that I’m not using examples that follow the lines of how they do this, but yeah.

And I’m no linguistics expert.

Is it possible to have a custom in your professional name for business ventures subs and your nickname in other personal customs? I use both, but when talking to myself, I call myself by my nickname which is personal.

Think about the concept of homophones for a second: they’re words that sound exactly the same but with completely different meanings. And yet we’re able to distinguish their use in conversation automatically 99.9% of the time, because despite how they sound there is a meaning to each word that we intuitively understand because of the context in which its used.

Words are a medium from which meaning is exchanged. They are placeholders that we refer to, but the meaning behind these words are understood because of everything around the word, and not necessarily the word itself.

It doesn’t matter how the scripts are written, unless they’re written as “All Mohammeds are…”, which we all know is not the case.
