Twenty-two hundred hours. You are freezing your brain because the computer added a minute during the time you were on the keyboard. Let it go, boy. – Amorella.
I think of the title and book, Heart of Darkness, a book I taught at one time or another. We come up with these concepts and today I read somewhere (probably in the several Time magazines or National Geographic I read as catch-up) – the darkness in the soul. The concept is easier to understand in the heart as passion does at times have a negative energy to it, a crime of passion as it were. But, darkness in the soul – I assume this means depression but I am not sure, and in any case, are these terms relevant to the books?
There was a popular song back in the eighties that you felt a personal attachment to and one of the lines mentioned “an eclipse of the heart”. We are using this in the book as such – the heart crosses in front of the soul and the eclipse is on the mind. The soul crosses in front of the heart and the eclipse is on the mind. The soul’s eclipse is darker on/in the mind. As with the sun and moon, both ‘bodies’ appear to be the same size though the soul is more distant than the heart, that is, it is deeper set within the Living. In the vernacular, a troubled soul, is where the soul appears between the heart and the mind. This is the way Tiresias and the early shamans expressed such things and this is the way it will be written in these books. The mind can also cause an eclipse. Thinking of the human ‘trinity’ in geometric terms think of an equilateral triangle where the heart and the mind are on the base but the soul is top point. It appears further away from the mind and heart to the Living but in reality it is not.
You found a couple of concepts in the June, 2011, National Geographic. Let’s go to it.
The first article is on page 34 + “The Birth of Religion” and it is about “Pillars at the temple of Gobekli Tepe in southern Turkey – 11600 years old and up to 18 feet tall – may represent priestly dancers at a gathering.” And, in the concluding paragraph on page 58:
Still, he [Schmidt] has already drawn some conclusions. “Twenty years ago everyone believed civilization was driven by ecological forces,” Schmidt says. “I think what we are learning is that civilization is a product of the human mind.”
In another short article titled, “Living It Up” on page 33, it is noted that the statistical number of people who have walked the earth in the last 50,000 years is 108 billion, and of that those Living (in 2011) comprise 6.4 percent, or 7 billion.

You found both articles extremely interesting. Why?
I have read about Gobekli Tepe before but I did not know supposedly Abraham was born within a hundred miles of the place. As Abraham and Sarah seem pivotal in the first three books – that is, G---D’s promise to Abraham – it seems important to me, though to be honest I did not see a follow-through at the conclusion of book three. A better life was presented by the marsupial humanoids but thinking their way of life through (later, after the books were completed and published) it did not seem practical bit of social re-arranging for humans. The irony though, in the books, is that both the marsupials and the humans are spiritually minded and both independently came up with the concept of the same sense of G---D, the G---D of Abraham and the basic G---D of others in the world also.
The second article reminds me of a usable number of people to mention on the second rebellion of the Dead in book six.
Almost twenty-three hundred hours, boy. Call it a night. Post. – Amorella.
