Abstract
This article presents a discussion of the evolution of the language of the Science of Unitary Human Beings from the terms used by Martha Rogers in her 1970 book to changes in terms Rogers introduced in her publications over the ensuing years to new terms and language offered by Rogerian scholars before and after Rogers’ death in 1994. The article follows from Rogers’ insistence that the language of a science, which evolves from general language, should be specific to the level of abstraction of the relevant concepts.
