Mid-morning. While taking a bath this morning, jets and bubbles, you raised your right hand like you were going to grasp something out of thin air and thought, “Fingertips are as a Betweener.”
What came to mind is that a Betweener is as a Caretaker, as in the story of Adam and Eve as caretakers, their original assignment in the story. Only in the books the Supervisor has between three and five universes – and SheanHe keeps the physics ordered. A tweak here and there would be mostly unnoticeable. So, whatever the Dead think of the Supervisor is not a deep enough or far away enough thought. Also, SheanHe keeps the heartansoulanmind ‘ordered-in-reason’ also. This is done not by power but by Presence alone.
Can this be used or alluded to, Amorella? Alluded to in specifics, not some generality as a cosmic force, or the Star Wars sense of “the Force”. I want some mechanisms, some mechanics. We have quantum mechanics, why not metaphysical mechanics? There can’t be that many differences, but it would be neat to come up with a couple of ‘rules’ that separate the two. That would be cool. I love this kind of stuff.
You have the cart before the horse, boy. Later. Post. – Amorella.
Early afternoon and you are waiting for Carol at Kroger’s on Kings Mill Road near King’s Island. You stopped at Walmart and Best Buy looking for a sleeve for your Air but had no luck. Later you will stop at a UPS and see if they can rig up an air bubble envelope for you. Two, one for each car.
Dining in for lunch (ham sandwich) and supper (ground meat, veggie and rice stuffed green peppers). So, a trip to UPS after we return home. I should probably look at MicroCenter first, they sell Apple and everything else. It will give me something to do.
You did find a sleeve for your Air. Home for a rest and a couple of TV shows copied earlier this week. Carol went to bed early while you watched the most recent episode of ‘V’. Before that you and Carol also watched tonight’s NOVA program about the intelligence of animals and it reminded you of the question: How would anyone be able to measure another’s actual intelligence, particularly if the person being measured were more gifted. And, the other question it brought up was: If there were a real Betweener (that fit the profile in the books] how would the Betweener, an outside the universe intelligence learn how to communicate with a less intelligent species – similar to the difficulty humans find in communicating with other species, particularly a cephalopod, an octopus.
NOVA showed humans cannot carry on a conversation with an octopus or even a dolphin. This matter may not relate directly to the Supervisor in the novel, but it brings up an interesting problem. And, it reminds me of another question: How would a human ‘know’ an Angel was also present in the room? [Know that she or he was sharing a room with an Angel? Or, a spirit of any kind?] What in a Betweener’s Presence holds the physics of the universe and the heartansoulanmind of human-like species intact? How can the Dead ‘live, think (have consciousness) and move’ within this Presence?
Too much of a scattergun approach here, boy. You need to focus not on the human perspective, but on the Betweener’s perspective to physics and to the human heartansoulanmind. The idea of a single Betweener’s finger touching a particular universe will work for a start. It is the touch first, you see, that allows the presence second. This is a rule. Post. – Amorella.
