Early mid-afternoon. You were busy caring and playing with Brennan this morning; he had lunch at eleven and was ready for his first nap of the day. You and Carol went to McD’s for drinks down to On the Rise for two Jennifer cookies, a stop at Horseshoe Lake Park in Shaker Heights, then to the grocery for milk and homegrown strawberries and home. Brennan is still napping. You also checked your Facebook page to read the comments concerning your own comment on finishing the question ‘How does the soul exist?’ for Lesson Seven. You have the right idea of placing Lessons Six and Seven each as one unit rather than going through the days it took to complete the homework as it were. – Amorella
When I complete this metaphysical unit, then what?
We’ll drop it in as a single unit posting as if it were a chapter or two in the book. When the ‘soul’ section is complete you can place the posting then add to it as a working unit until it is fully completed. – Amorella
I thought we were done with the soul metaphysics and moving on to the heart or mind.
No. Lesson Eight has a new question. First though, fix up the metaphysics you already have edited offline. – Amorella
This took more time than I expected. I still think I can clean up the format a bit.
You can do that when you publish the Soul Section of “Metaphysics” in the blog. – Amorella
Lesson Eight
We need to develop a metaphysical geography in which to place the individual soul then partner souls, then collective souls, such as the collective souls of the Living and the collective souls of the Dead.
The first thing, from my perspective, is to bring up the geography of the individual soul from yesterday’s completion.

How does the soul exist?
The soul exists as a condensed spiritual dropping formed from a vapor of a natural decorum, a foreshadowing of light, a halo if you will, of Presence. As dignity forms into substance it communicates ‘humanity’ in the form of the spiritual thought: dignity and freedom exist even within adversity as the attendant exists in the soul to receive the flowering heart and mind, protecting physical individuals with higher consciousness from spiritual death after the physical body has perished.
** **
The first word that comes to mind is the soul exists in a “puddle” that holds a ‘shower’ of souls. But then, what container holds the puddle? We might say water is held in a depression of earth. Is continuing this line of analogy plausible in context?

Grammar as Geography in the Metaphysics of the HeartanSoulanMind:
[Content To Be Adapted from Wikipedia for Use in Metaphysics]
English grammar is the body of rules that describe the structure of expressions in the English language. This includes the structure of words, phrases, clauses and sentences.
Grammar is divided into morphology, which describes the formation of words, and syntax, which describes the construction of meaningful phrases, clauses, and sentences out of words.
Word classes and phrase classes:
Seven major word classes are described here. These are: noun, pronoun, verb, adjective, adverb, preposition, conjunction. These are traditionally referred to as the "parts of speech".
Nouns
Noun features
Singular and Plural Forms
Common Nouns – by classifications of nouns
Proper Nouns – Proper Names (Capitalized)
Concrete Nouns – (physical) - book, laptop
Abstract Nouns – (theoretical, nonrepresentational, conceptual) – freedom, prejudice, philosophical, intellectual
Noun phrases
Determiners
Determiners include "that", "the", "a", "some", number words like "two" or "three", "some", and "various".
Pronouns
Pronouns function as noun phrases.
Personal pronouns
Demonstrative pronouns
Relative pronouns
Verbs
Regular and irregular lexical verbs
Auxiliary verbs
Verb phrases
Adjectives
Adjective phrases
Adverbs
Adverb phrases
Prepositions
Prepositional phrases
Conjunctions
Coordinating
Subordinating conjunctions
Clause syntax
A clause consists of a subject, which is usually a noun phrase, and a predicate that is usually a verb phrase with an accompanying grammatical unit in the form of an object or complement.
Clause types
Independent
Dependent

There are several works for English usage that I have read at one time or another, but only two that I have continually referred to when I felt it was necessary in more formal manuscript than fiction, Strunk and White’s The Elements of Style and Fowler’s Modern English Usage. I am not sure usage would be a good factor to include in metaphysical geography though.
Use The Elements of Style if and when needed for clarification. Now, look up the simple definition of geography and create an adaptive definition for our specific purpose. – Amorella.

metaphysical geography - the study of metaphysical nature and applied conditionals to the relative dimensional arrangement of abstractions, features and uses in a grammatical context.

Now look up and select specific detailed definitions of ‘metaphysics’ and ‘geography’ in Wikipedia.- Amorella
[I am having a wonderful time so far.]

Metaphysics is a branch of philosophy concerned with explaining the fundamental nature of being: the heartansoulanmind.
The metaphysician attempts to clarify the fundamental notions by which beings of higher consciousness understand the nature of existence and the properties, space, time, cause, effect and ontology, the investigation of basic catagories of being and how they relate to each other and how this fits in the study of all phenomena in the universe of the heartansoulanmind.

Aristotle’s Metaphysics was divided into three parts, which are now regarded as the proper branches of traditional Western metaphysics:
Ontology
The study of being and existence; includes the definition and classification of entities, physical or mental, the nature of their properties, and the nature of change.
Natural Theology
The study of a God or Gods; involves many topics, including among others the nature of religion and the world, existence of the divine, questions about Creation, and the numerous spiritual issues that concern humankind in general.
Universal science
The study of first principles, such as the law of noncontradiction, which Aristotle believed were the foundation of all other inquiries.
Universal science or first philosophy treats of "being qua being"—that is, what is basic to all science before one adds the particular details of any one science. Essentially "being qua being" may be translated as "being insofar as being goes" or as "being in terms of being." This includes topics such as causality, substance, species and elements, as well as the notions of relation, interaction, and finitude.

The above are definitions in the blog's context to be used in “The Metaphysical Geography of the HeartanSoulanMind”. Post. – Amorella
This appears to be reasonable to me, at least for now. By the conclusion I may need to make modifications.
I was just thinking the same thing, boy. – Amorella
About what?
Making modifications. – Amorella
This sounds foreboding.
That’s your humanity talking, young man. - Amorella
