A word only has power if you allow it such. Deemster, DMT, Spice etc are all terms coined by humans and only mean as much as we choose them to. Good connotations created by using one or the other are only subjective. If you judge someone by whichever word they use, rather than the meaning behind those words, it is only you who must consider the intention of your judgement. Despite words being the only medium of communication here, the overall message of his post is clear and I doubt anyone can detract from that.
In short, it really doesn't matter.
It sounds like Epiphany had an amazing experience. I wish I had been present for it, although he contacted me shortly afterwards. Hopefully soon I'll find myself prepared for my next journey.
