High Priest,
I'm confused by your usage of the words 'solidify' and 'crystallized', by the context I'm taking it that 'solidify' is bad and 'crystallized' is good. Could you please explain further?
What linguistic crutches do you see the Cult using?
I do agree that many of us, myself included, use linguistic crutches too often. I notice my usage of certain words more times in situations of stress, when I'm scolding my kids it seems that I use the same words that my father used when he was scolding me. I know these to be crutches but I never knew why I was 'crutching it'.
In times of relaxation I know that I also use crutch words but I'm less apt at noticing myself do this. I need to pay more attention.

You have inferred correctly, A:.O:.
When we become solid, nothing can grow. Vibrations won't resonate within us. The possibility of Godhood stops. In essence, we die when we remain solid for too long. So, what is the alternative? The polar opposite is liquid; chaos flowing uncontrolled, random. One would think there's enormous freedom and untapped potential in being as liquid. However, that is another type of slavery. Always moving, always changing. There is still no conscious growth.
Crystallization, on the other hand, is a conscious solidification. It is controlled liquidity. Crystals are transparent, they store/release energy, have a precise atomic structure, and can accept vibrations which may come from a Higher Source. When something crystallizes inside of us, it becomes a living part of ourselves... coloring and shaping essence.
It depends. Some may use Awakening constantly without being inside the moment of what that word means. Awakening, like other occult buzz-words, is a process. To speak a word or phrase without occasionally going through the process is to use it like a crutch. Some short handing of common experiences is necessary, but we need to be mindful of condensing our understanding into something lifeless and flat... in other words, mechanical.
How to defend against linguistic crutches? Observation. Watch yourself as you speak, and pay close attention to words you use often.
Awake!
