Up early at the West Bank Inn on Lake St. Mary’s in Celina. Wonderful wedding according to Kim and Paul. You are packed and ready to go. You are taking everyone to breakfast for Mother’s Day, probably Bob Evans. Later, dude. – Amorella.
On the way home you got off I-75 at Springboro and took SR 73 over to SR 48 and up a mile on SR 48 to Grandma’s Garden. Carol is busy looking. Chore when home, re-measure the top of the new fridge at Sears with a ‘straight stick’ to make sure it fits under the cabinet. Tomorrow the plumber is supposed to be here in the morning to put in the copper line for the refrigerator. Doctor’s appointment in the early afternoon. Tuesday up to north Columbus to see Andy and have lunch with Mary Lou as Cathy and Tod are in New Orleans or Tampa.
You took several notes last night while listening to Ancient Egyptian music – must have put you in the right mood for free thought. You might as well work on them.
Notes written at about midnight:
The Rebellion [partially] fails because of the lack of coordination of the Dead with the Living. The Dead spent too much time coordinating among themselves.
How to get the Dead together for a Rebellion in the first place? Initial answer: to return to the Living to explain how it is Dead, so the Living can learn to live better for their children’s sake.
The older Dead are more interested in returning than the more recent Dead. The older Dead are more positive than newer Dead – opposite of the Living where the young are more optimistic.
How to arrive back on Earth without causing panic and fear among the Living – using archetypical symbols of peace. Later, what about the alien Dead in all this? is Takis’s question.
A common cause like the Declaration of Independence without the politics. To get along together (the Dead) and separately via reason and dignity of the individual and group.
Division among the Dead is anticipatory to Athens and Sparta thinking, i.e. the philosopher king as a benevolent leader.
Also, debate anticipating Plato and Aristotle and Socrates. Problem: excluding the environment of the Living – practical survival thinking. The Dead don’t have any environment but their own mental projections [or do they?]
The Dead have no power (over one another or anything actually) and they don’t want any power as it is not practical where they are. The Living need power and will and courage to survive as individuals and also need to be in a group(s) but not the species as group like the Dead do.
The Dead think in concepts first and longer than the Living, and many begin to observe they do have influence even as Dead when they see the rise of their ideas in Socrates, Plato and Aristotle. That without their knowledge a connection was made with the Living. The next thing Later, after the Rebellion is how to exploit this to the advantage of the Dead; then later still, how to exploit this to the advantage of both the Dead and the Living? [a part of book six?]

You typed most of these notes while watching Sixty Minutes and waiting on Andy Rooney. Then you caught up with Flash Forward on Carol’s iPad while she was talking to her sister in Florida. Trash out for tomorrow and you are done for the evening while Carol watches Desperate Housewives.
Why is this stuff important to put in here, Amorella. It reminds me of Boswell writing Dr. Samuel Johnson’s biography. Minute detail, so very unimportant.
Because you are very unimportant, orndorff. – Amorella.
Well, that makes sense, I am in and among all the other trivia of life’s smatterings.
That you are. Now, post what you have and relax for the rest of the evening.
But we haven’t done this scene.
I haven’t written the scene for you to read, orndorff. You have your Free Will and I have my own just like all the other book characters in your head.
You are not a book character.
What am I then?
I really don’t know . . . other than I think of you as a ‘gift’.
A gift from whom?
A liberated gift from myself I presume. Some people say they have been given a gift from G---D to be a great artist or entertainer or doctor or whatever. My parents and the hospital I was born in gave me the gift of life, if it is indeed a gift. My parents and the hospital where I was born gave me a chance at life. That is how I feel about it. The show, Fast Forward, talks about Fate and Free Will. That is part of what makes it fun and interesting to watch. What we observe is unconsciously changed by our observations. And, how I am observed unconsciously changes my observations. That is what the show implies but I don’t know that it is true.
If we were all observed by angels or G---D then we should be changed by this observation, at least in theory. The theory is probably incorrect at least as far as angels or G---D is concerned but perhaps not by human observations.
What about readers who have read your works and all of your notes?
No one has as far as I know.
What if someone has?
I would feel ‘changed’ by this if it were a fact. You are right. How is this important?
How would Takis feel if he ‘communicated’ directly with the Supervisor in the book?
How would he know? This is like one of those old seventeenth century metaphysical questions: “How would one know an Angel was in the room?”
If a ‘Presence’ communicates, or appears to communicate, this is different than ‘sensing’ an Angel in the room that does not respond to normal human senses, is it not?
It would lead to madness. The human brain is not capable of dealing with metaphysical species such as angels. That is what I think.
What about the human mind? Or, within the book, the human heartansoulanmind?
I do not know. I do not have such a co-ordination of heartansoulanmind in real life. It is imagination and passion and mind in real life. That is how I observe it. I am anchored in reason with this concept.
Do you see what can be done with this thinking as far as the shamans are concerned?
One major difference is that in my imagination and consistency of reason they are Dead within the confines of the books. The substance of the words in the books is real but it is as far as it goes.
If this is the case how can the Dead hope to effect the Living? How can the Living hope to effect the Dead?
By appealing to the heart and soul.
Therein lies the Rebellion. Post this, then think about it. – Amorella.
