And would you care to explain what "fragment" and "embankment" have got to do with the mind?
Go to a standard dictionary and look up the suffix "-ment". That will tell you.
I am not looking at the standard dictionary, more so the word broken down, origins, and it's meanings separately. It doesn't have to be a prefix or suffix, just the word itself broken down and analyzed.

Are we in agreement?
Qestion is:
Are you yet?
Here is the problem I have, we are pointing and looking at only one source. A dictionary Standard English. Have you ever heard the term "Lost in Translation"? Because when I translate Italian to English, or vice versa the meanings are many times completely different.
government (n.) late 14c., "act of governing or ruling;" 1550s, "system by which a thing is governed" (especially a state), from Old French governement (Modern French gouvernement), from governer (see govern). Replaced Middle English governance. Meaning "governing power" in a given place is from 1702.
Origin:
1375–1425; late Middle English < Late Latin mentālis, equivalent to Latin ment- (stem of mēns ) mind + -ālis -al1

So tell me, since you are fluent in Italian, does government mean mind control? translation.babylon.com... type in "governo"
How about in French? translation.babylon.com... type in "gouvernement "
In any language?
The origin of the word:
government (n.) late 14c., "act of governing or ruling;" 1550s, "system by which a thing is governed" (especially a state), from Old French governement (Modern French gouvernement), from governer (see govern). Replaced Middle English governance. Meaning "governing power" in a given place is from 1702.

mind in English is derived from mente in Latin... because mente in Spanish means mind. The Spanish pronunciation is: 'men tee'. Or just click on the speaker icon for the word in the link.
Mente, or actually the evolved, processed, derived, English form of the word- is used in the word 'mental'. Dictionary.com, Origin section for the word 'mental' has:
Origin:
1375–1425; late Middle English < Late Latin mentālis, equivalent to Latin ment- (stem of mēns ) mind + -ālis -al1
Spanish uses a lot of Latin words - in their literal original form, or close(r) to the original Latin word. English not so much... English words derived from Latin- from what I see- are processed more, to where the casual observer would usually not see the derivation/connection. For a good example - if anyone knows English and Spanish, try reading the Latin words with their translations listed in this article in Wikipedia.
Latin is the basis for most European languages, from Latin came Italian, Spanish, French, Romanian, etc.... English is made up of many languages, so sometimes direct translations do not work well and we need to go to the base language, or source language. Many times this is Greek, and/or Latin.
People that have multiple Latin based languages under their belt see the similarities immediately.
I just see a lot of similarities with Spanish whenever I see Latin being used.

Does "absolutamente" mean "absolute mind", then?
Does "perfectamente" then mean "perfect mind"?edit on 2/28/2013 by Chamberf=6 because: (no reason given)

In this case, Saturn, from another density, controls the planet, aligning yourself with Saturn is both homage, and assurance, so the symbol here is chosen because of something so deep as to be unconscious at nearly all levels.
Saturn, or the folks residing in a different frequency range known as Saturn, are our governors, no doubt the symbol comes from their realm and, from what I know of them and their influence, it will mean "mind control."
