How do you explain all the words that contain the suffix -ment which have nothing to do with the mind?


Give us an example of a word ending in ment that doesn't pertain to the mind. Exclude the word government since that's the topic of our discussion.

Engorgement. Disfigurement. Fundament. Impediment. Abandonment. Instrument. Augment. Establishment. Pavement. Firmament. Emolument. Banishment. Compartment. Monument. Apartment. Refinement.

Perfect. You have decided (in your mind) to marry that person (or you both have an agreement of the mind to wed).
Incorrect. Deciding to become engaged is a different thing than the state (state) of being engaged. -ment implies the state of being engaged. This is true of all the words (at least that I can think of) that end in -ment. Amusement is the state in which you are amused, for example.

Any what precisely is the "state of being engaged" other than the decision to become a married couple?

Amusement... again, we've been over this. A state (of mind) of being amused.
 
Every state of being is a manifestation of mind. You may not necessarily recognize it as such. You may instead attribute this state of being as to some "natural" consequence.

Here's where it gets fun. The word nature comes from the Egyptian 'Ntr' (no vowels in this language) meaning "of the spirit". Mind IS spirit.

But again, let me flip the script. Is it reasonable to think that the state of engorgement has anything to do with the chin? How about disfigurement? Fundament? Abandonment?
 

"...the forces or processes of the material world..."

Forces have no material manifestation. They have no material existence. They come from somewhere but it's not the material world. What could we be describing here?

Let me try from a different perspective.... something can't manifest itself, right? The universe can't create itself, that would be something from nothing. So where did it come from?
