OMEGA: This term of Greek origin is used by me to define subjective as opposed to objective contexts, whether in sensuality or in sensibility. Hence both noumenal subjectivity and phenomenal subjectivity, the metaphysical and physical corollaries of time-space evolution and of mass-volume evolution, are omega-orientated, even though distinctions have to be drawn between the sensual, or 'once born', and the sensible, or ‘reborn’, manifestations of omega.

OMEGA POINT: The goal and culmination of evolution in relation to the transcendental Beyond, a 'point' as far removed, in conceptual constitution, from the inception of devolution in the Cosmos as it is possible to conceive.... That which is omega-most in sensibility at any given time is closest to this envisaged culmination-point of evolution, a culmination-point originally conceived of by Teilhard de Chardin, but considerably expanded upon by me in the years and decades since.

'ONCE BORN': Metaphorical term intended to differentiate the sensual and outer from the sensible and inner, the latter of which has equally metaphorically been identified with the concept of 'rebirth', though not in relation to reincarnation, but solely on a Christian-like basis of male salvation, which rises from sensuality to sensibility, vice to virtue, in due ‘reborn’ terms.

OUTER: The opposite of inner, this term has reference to sensuality as opposed to sensibility, to 'once-born' contexts of outer sense as opposed to ‘reborn’ contexts of inner sense, and it applies to the subjective no less than to the objective, in both negative and positive manifestations.

OVERSOUL: Any mode of 'civilized', or sublimated, soul, whether loving, proud, pleasurable, or joyful, such that results, on whatever elemental basis, from an egocentric commitment to will and the spiritual transmutation of ego into mind, from which superconscious extreme a psychic rebound to subconsciousness can be anticipated, thereby achieving emotional redemption in oversoul, the sublimated counterpart to the brute soul, or undersoul, of the self, which is id-driven and therefore no more than a lustful response to instinct.
