Notes - stomach flu / Merlyn and Mother / Supervisor's rank questioned /


         Kim is home with the stomach flu as is Carol and Brennan. Paul took Owen to daycare and you have a 'touch' of the flu but not nearly so bad as Kim and Carol. You attribute to not washing your hands as much as you should, but are leery of overindulgent speculation before the day ends.

         The flu will no doubt kick in sometime today. So far, so good though. I ran some errands and picked up a McD's (#2) breakfast and a Cleveland Plain Dealer while I was at it. First time I have had a #2 in years. We always pick up #1's. Kim just came downstairs with the B man, who appears to be better today, either that or he is very happy to have "EM-AH" home with him. -- Watched the B man as Kim napped.

         Kim is fixing him a bottle though it is a little early for lunch. You can check your email and we will go ahead with more on Pouch 12 after the description. Let's have him appear in Elysium for the first time. Whom will he meet, you wonder. Who do you think would greet Merlyn, Mother or Panagiotakis? - Amorella

         He may be more comfortable with an old shaman like himself. Well, I would be. Mother would not make me comfortable because I would be too concerned about displeasing her.

         Just by your being there? - Amorella

         Frankly, I suppose that's it. I would feel the need to apologize for interrupting her daily schedule. Rather awkward, but that's what comes to mind first. When I first met the daughter of a shaman I took an immediate liking to her, not uncomfortable at all, and that's in real life.

         Merlyn's not you, boy; he would rather meet Mother first. - Amorella

         She's not my first choice. She would never be my first choice. (1048)

         One of several reasons why I am writing this and not you. Post. - Amorella


         1553 hours. I was reading over a post from 1 March 2011 (as someone had read this in the last day) and this caught my attention (I suppose because Merlyn is about to enter Elysium for the first time).

. . . In here, Betweener is as a rank. You need to realize and understand the distinction as the story is going to take a more metaphysical turn.

         You used to give a lecture about angels when introducing selections of Paradise Lost to your seniors. Medieval categories, ranks, if you will. Some angels had more ‘enlightenments’ than others. We will use this concept as did Milton. No ‘Hell’s Angels” in these books though. No need. Think. What need do humans have to create such creatures? Such ‘angelic’ creatures are a human invention when no need of power exists. The Supervisor is by HeranHis spiritual nature an ecologically oriented chameleon.

         I think I am not understanding this correctly, that is, I am not using the correct words here.

         The characters in the story, being human still, think the Rebellion is about power and control but it is not. This will be lost in translation, boy, when negotiations take place. Misunderstandings that are understandable, but wrong nevertheless. This mistranslation goes a step or two above Betweener in rank, but not to the Ultimate Being inferred existing in the stories. The metaphysical Machinery of the Spirit is driven by individual human passion or so it appears, but in here, passion is as a metaphysical form of energy.

         Is the Supervisor also a rank as far as the story goes? And, the Amorella? Are you as a rank as far as the blog and books are concerned? I always think of you, imagination or no, as a Betweener. Above you state, "this mistranslation goes a step or two above Betweener in rank."

         I realize the post above was in reference to The Rebellion. I need to keep these points in mind for my own sense of 'order'. Mother, of course, among human dead is first, the cornerstone of heartansoulanmind as all living humans are connected to her both physically and spiritually. You, Amorella, play the part of the Supervisor, a noun by its wordy nature, a rank order. In The Rebellion the rank order of Greek gods and goddesses is well known and would have been known by Merlyn who, as a Druid, knows ancient Greek and Latin. What is the Greek word for "the Supervisor" in this case? I am confused as to how this is going to play out in these remembered scenes. Merlyn is storytelling to the present Living.

         You bring up a good point, orndorff. Let me get back to you on this. Post. - Amorella

         Did I misread you here? (1618)

         No. Post. - Amorella
