Notes - Lesson Seven - A / you have an imagination, use it

         Mid-afternoon. It has been a relatively busy day with chores and errands along with the usual Brennan care. You decided to go ahead with editing for clarity the recent postings dealing with ‘metaphysics and the heartansoulanmind’. With my help you have edited (with a few changes for clarity) the posts involved and have placed them in a separate file. As you were working you thought about other diversions you have worked on separately while taking notes and realize this is nothing more or less than putting ideas and concepts in order for further thought and personal review.

         When I was piecing together my ‘booklet’ Metaphysics I came across these words from a post:

         Grammar slows you down, boy. This is the reason the Dead speak more directly in the books. – Amorella

         I detect your smile.

         This is good, as I have no substance. – Amorella

         And a further smile in the humor.

From: 21 May 12 posting

         As soon as I read it I thought of what was said in yesterday’s post:

         Richard: “The soul is the place of ‘substance’.“

         Amorella’s response: “Have it your way if you wish.”

         I have been trying to imagine the soul as the place of substance. And, presently I am trying to also imagine you as having no substance (which is still funny with the word meaning play). I seem to have continual problems with word definitions (and at alien-like odds with the English language). I wrote about a similar problem with translation some time ago, but it was concerning the reason for making my marsupial-humanoid aliens speak a language similar to German. This is in remembrance of my exchange professor at Bowling Green State University in 1969. Dr. Helmut Pellischek-Wilsdorf taught a graduate educational psychology class and had done his doctorate in Freud’s works. One of my memories was that he said the English translations of Freud were not completely correct because German words are not necessarily as specific as English, the German allowed a leeway in thought where the English translation wielded the German thoughts into a concrete it did not deserve.

         Back to our question for the day: How does the attendant enter the soul? – Amorella

         Does sheanhe leave at the same place?

         The attendant does not leave. – Amorella

         How come I have not seen examples of this event in The Rebellion? There are no attendants whatsoever.

         The main characters in the story do not find it necessary to exchange with their attendants. When the attendants are forgotten they might as well be someplace else but they stay as foundation. – Amorella

         This sounds weak, Amorella. How can I think (hypothetically) on how an attendant would enter the soul, when I have no information on the attendant? You have said you do not have substance as a soul does. Do these attendants have substance? What is the substance within the soul, I assume it is not harmful to the heartanmind. I am looking for consistency here. You have been consistent throughout the books and blog as far as I can see. Consistency is one of your virtues. – rho

         We have to define ‘substance’ first. – Amorella.

         We are going to have a problem. I assume this is the quick conclusion of a short experiment in the metaphysics of heartansoulanmind. If you can’t define something you cannot explain and/or describe the information at hand. Your first question: “How does a soul exist?” Your second: How does an attendant enter a soul? I am assuming that the second question gives evidence to an explanation that helps answer the first question. Is this so?

         Yes.

         I have to have a definition of the word “substance” because the word infers existence. For one piece of matter to enter another piece of matter both have to exist. It is not proper to describe something by what it is not.

         Another question brought up is “How can the soul be contained (by the heartanmind) in the physical world and be a container (of the heartanmind) in the metaphysical?” An explanation by example was given.

         This is the reason for working through an explanation of how the soul exists and how an attendant enters the soul. I define the soul by stating it is the land of milk and honey, and you counter that the soul is the place of substance. I agree that for this exercise’s purpose both of definitions are correct. – Amorella

         The soul is constructed to exist in both the physical and metaphysical universe.

         Yes.

         Is a higher conscious being with a heartansoulanmind also constructed to exist in both the physical and metaphysical universe?

         Yes.

         The purpose in both cases has to do with natural process.

         Yes.

         Are “the land of milk and honey” and “the place of substance” exactly the same thing figuratively?

         No, but the conclusion of both definitions is the same.

         Plato says that reality (physics) has form; substance; process/movement; and atomics. What are the counter examples within metaphysics?

         Let’s work on “substance” first. – Amorella

         I cannot get passed being and non-being, and substance and non-substance.

         Tonight, think from the perspective of Diplomat’s alien AC. Post. – Amorella

         Think from outside the human box?

         Yes. Don’t you want to grow in consciousness, boy? You have an imagination, use it. - Amorella
