assumosis

This is the disorder of assuming, since "osis" is the prefix in medicine that means "disorder". One might say that assumosis is diffusion of an idea across neural membranes, yours and mine.

Assumosis is one of his greater flaws. He thinks he knows what I think and feel, but his assumptions are far from my truth.

yeshic

This means of or related to the original way of Yeshua (the Aramaic name of Jesus of Nazareth in his mother tongue). Hence, this refers to the master and disciple relationship by which Yeshua taught in order to pass on to the disciples teachings aimed at developing higher states of consciousness exemplified by Yeshua's own development and example. A somewhat more derivative approach might be congregational but still aimed at development of similar love, compassion, and egolessness. That which is yeshic is contrasted with the many ramifications that characterize the modern splintering of Yeshua's message that can all too often revert to personality adoration, bland repetition, or overt ego inflation and control of others in the name of Yeshua. A yeshic style aims at developing the living Yeshua (Jesus Christ) within so that the practioner is transformed in consciousness and behavior.

The minister's yeshic teaching aimed his congregation toward deep love and service to others in the way of the master they sought to follow.

gnosonarcissist

This word is a combination of "gnosis" (knowledge) and "narcissist" (a self-centered person). So, a gnosonarcissist is a person who believes in a self-centered way that his level of knowledge is correct and/or complete despite what others know. This implies a lack of understanding that others might know more in areas of knowledge in either a horizontal way (breadth of knowledge) or a vertical way (depth of knowledge).

Dudley was a gnosonarcissist who believed that his own limited understanding was better than the the knowledge of others who knew much more.

farmassist

This is a person who helps on the farm and is subject to the direction and complaints rendered by the farmoaner. Of course, the farmassist may eventually need help from the pharmacist who can dispense antidepressants.

The farmassist was sent about the farm to take care of innumberable tasks while the farmoaner complained from the shaded porch with iced tea in hand.
