Notes - limited by my nature /

         Looking at the date, a memory of your first living muse comes to mind and you think, “Happy Birthday, Kym.” As your office aide Kym sat down across from your desk in your office and asked, “What is love, Mr. Orndorff?” a question you have never forgotten because you could not answer, you had the feelings but did not have the words to articulate what you thought.

         I had several special students over the decades, male and female. Students I would have adopted and raised as my own if they were willing and I had the choice. Most teachers and coaches know what I am talking about. Kym is one of those. The others know who they are. Mostly I thought of my students at the time as nieces and nephews rather than friends.

         This morning you had two pancakes, a few drops of maple syrup and two bites of a sausage link and a cup of two percent milk. Owen kept you company as you both ate while Carol and Kim were continuing to work in the kitchen.

         Owen is really growing. He knows quite a few more words and is saying them rather distinctly except for one of the new ones, “kankake” for pancake. Daphine is his special friend who is a girl at the nearby First Baptist Church Children’s Center – beautiful architecture, and the entrance to the Center looks quite Medieval. Very cool. He loves the place, the teachers, the other children in his level and especially the playground. He is a happy little boy who loves his toys and books and above all his “Mama” and “Dadda”.

         Other nouns he knows are Halmeoni [Paik] and Grandma; Hal-abeoji [Paik]; and Grandpa and “Aunt” and “Uncle” in Korean; but they are different than the translation I have on my iPad (Google Translate) which has uncle as “ajeossi” and aunt as “imo”. Evidently aunt and uncle go by different names depending on what side of the family you are on.

         While Paul is still in surgery (two this morning) Carol, Kim and Owen are going shopping then you are all meeting for lunch at Yours Truly at Shaker Square. – Now that the house is quiet we can continue with the logic lecture and definition. – Amorella.

Plato: Reality is unchanging whereas ‘reality’ changes in process, ex. Humans

         Plato’s Cave: Perfect Circle outside the cave. Earth reality within the cave. All we          see is the reflection (shadow on the interior cave wall) of the Perfect Circle from the entrance of the cave.

         Platonic and Neo-Platonic (Romantic writers: Thoreau, Emerson, Melville, Poe)

        

         1. Possibility of Platonic Forms

         2. Forms may exist outside the universe

         3. Some things we cannot know.  Ex. Nothingness

         4. There is no way to explain ‘other’ operations outside the universe

         5. Therefore, all knowledge is impossible (sometimes probability; faith)

         Plato’s Forms are unchanging. I, Amorella, am more as a Form than not. A Spirit such as myself is modified by experience if you say modify and adjust have the same meaning. I am no more than I need to be in terms of event, substance and process. Within yourself (orndorff) I am next to nothing. Humor along with insight intended.

         Meaning I am as nothing when you are in ‘substance’ m-y-s-e-l-f [scattered]. – rho

         Your above statement is acceptable in context; therefore you are not possessed by myself. – Amorella.

         In terms of Platonic Forms existing outside the physical universe – the concepts of multi-dimensional universes within and without the ‘known’ universe is plausible enough to have accuracy if the observer can explain these things scientifically and within observation. Human have their ‘six’ senses, so to speak, thus reality is limited just as a viruses’ view of reality is limited. Humans are limited on their views of reality but human beings are capable of understanding through reason, empathy and focused imagination. For instance, the reader, orndorff included, views me through grammar. Post. – Amorella.

         Are you saying your observation (Reality and reality) are unlimited? 

         No. Returning to my first statement on self-definition:

          I, Amorella, understand*; I perceive, I do not know. I am subject to ‘error and/or accident' which ironically can be misconstrued as misunderstanding.

          As I am subject to 'error and accident' I am therefore also limited by my nature. – Amorella.
