Notes - a short lesson on my false pride / Chaucer / Lesson One /

         0856 hours. Already packing for tonight’s home drive for the long weekend. Our window shade for the bedroom is restrung and ready to pick up tomorrow. This six by six black and gray abstract up and down, down and up shade is twenty years old (we still like it) but the strings were frayed and worn perhaps they won’t break for another twenty years.

         No doubt you’ll break before the strings, boy. – Amorella

         The odds are certainly on your side, Amorella.

         You were interrupted and taken by Matt Lauer’s interview with Bobby Brown and his family on the NBC Today Show. You are concerned it is a distraction to your writing but I am still “channeling on”, orndorff. – Amorella

         You are funny, Amorella. I don’t know how you can do this.

         The interview segment sunk into your heart, dude, thus the interview and I were in the same spot. – Amorella

         I feel like I was impolite.

         You do not understand how this works. In a sense the word ‘metaphysics’ works well to describe the internal humanity center.

         The flash of a three-leaf clover pops into mind.



         The above image is your first pick; below is mine. The difference is in our perspective. Are you following? – Amorella


         My focus is on an ideal, a Platonic Form, if you will. Yours is more naturally oriented. I think you are closer to the soul. My human heart has a tendency to make the small pebble (clover) in the sandal feel much (more perfect) larger.

         Oddly stated. – Amorella

         I am thinking it is my false pride (in having a heartansoulanmind to begin with) that stuck me to the first image.

         You are learning. Post. - Amorella





         Before noon and you have run several errands and you and Brennan (sleeping) are currently waiting on Carol who is a few feet away grocery shopping for Kim in Giant Eagle. You had a Jennifer cookie and Carol a lemon blueberry scone from On The Rise bakery on Fairmont for brunch.

         Those three-leaf clovers above aren’t very subtle. What implied visual differences in thought, not the least of which is one in many rather than a glorified singular one in the first. You do see things differently than me. You are (certainly in context) more soul-oriented than heart.

         I am a gift delivered from the soul, boy; thus my orientation. – Amorella        

         I accept this. No argument from me on the topic. I want to see this heartansoulanmind system from your perspective. No harm in gaining a new perspective.

         No indeed. Living or Dead this is how one may acquire an understanding if nothing else. These books, blogs and lessons are specifically for you, but all is expected to be sharable online. – Amorella

         That’s fine, Amorella. We continue as we have been. I’m a retired teacher, but I’ve never retired from being a student. – rho

         Nor do you wish to be. You and Bob have favorite lines from Chaucer. You both are (in your heart, thus present tense). Here are the Clerk’s [Student’s] introductory lines from “The Prologue”:

THE CLERK'S PORTRAIT 


A clerk ther was of oxenford also, 

That unto logyk hadde longe ygo. 

As leene was his hors as is a rake, 

And he nas nat right fat, I undertake, 

But looked holwe, and therto sobrely. 

Ful thredbare was his overeste courtepy; 

For he hadde geten hym yet no benefice, 

Ne was so worldly for to have office. 

For hym was levere have at his beddes heed 

Twenty bookes, clad in blak or reed, 

Of aristotle and his philosophie, 

Than robes riche, or fithele, or gay sautrie. 

But al be that he was a philosophre,
Yet hadde he but litel gold in cofre; 

But al that he myghte of his freendes hente, 

On bookes and on lernynge he it spente, 

And bisily gan for the soules preye
Of hem that yaf hym wherwith to scoleye. 

Of studie took he moost cure and moost heede, 

Noght o word spak he moore than was neede, 

And that was seyd in forme and reverence, 

And short and quyk and ful of hy sentence; 

Sownynge in moral vertu was his speche, 

And gladly wolde he lerne and gladly teche.

Geoffrey Chaucer. Prologue to The Canterbury Tales

         Politely accepted in intent for the both of us and many other such student-like personalities in this world and perhaps also in many others.

         Understood. Post. - Amorella



         1616 hours. I had a nap of sorts, the car is packed and the car windows and head and taillights are washed and cleaned for the trip (although the car itself is quite dirty). I found a couple errors on this posting and corrected them. I find it strange that I am not so combative with myself on this. I feel like I am starting a new course. I plan to listen in take in what you say and think before I react.

         You wish to take this internal metaphysics as a course with me as the instructor? – Amorella

         This is the way I was brought up. I feel more comfortable this way. Besides, I don’t enjoy group work or group instruction so much. It is not efficient. One on one is good though.

         One on one is the way it will be, young man. Good to see you more positive, although I note your hangman’s humor is not buried too deep. – Amorella

         It is mostly so that I will not become entrapped by my own thoughts and experiences. I am curious. The metaphysical system is set first with the image of the cloverleaf (heart and soul and mind), thus for me the heart is on the left, soul in the middle and mind in the right leaf. Or, is there a soul-stem, similar to the brainstem as far as humans are concerned?

         Lets keep this broader than for humans or marsupial humanoids – the stem is (as) consciousness, the longer the stem the more consciousness, the broader probability for the three leaves because of the stronger stem to ‘carry’ the ‘weight’. It makes no difference which leaf is which. You are thinking left to right because of how you were instructed to read. The soul does not have to be in the middle, a ‘middle’ only exists because you think it is so. Always keep in mind Diplomat’s Ameta Cortavena, tiny AC, snug as a bug in a rug. Where’s the middle in that? - Amorella


        
         It is 1647 hours and Kim should be home within a half hour. I think this is interesting.

         What have you learned? – Amorella

         I am learning to first think outside the ‘human’ box. I don’t know what AC would consider the most important other than efficiency.

         It is and has been of worthy thought and consideration both internally and externally in AC’s case. Metaphysics is equally worthy of thought and consideration, as much so as physics as far as the AC’s are concerned. – Post and shut down for the day. More tomorrow as nature permits. – Amorella

         Why are you using ‘nature’ rather than ‘time’ here? (1656)

         To remind you of what you have learned today. Post. - Amorella
