Notes - not much, then 'metempsychosis'


          Mid-morning. You had breakfast and read the paper which was missing the comic page, so not so good from your perspective. Thunder and rain earlier and snow in Cleveland so you and Carol decided not to travel north. You are going to use the video on the phone to talk to Kim and the boys later today. Kim said they have a house showing at ten after ten this morning. She also said that when they move to the Delaware, Ohio area this summer she will invite herself and the boys to come down once in a while. Everyone will be happier when they move closer. Today we can finish Grandma 14 and audio draft chapters seven and eight, then move on to Pouch 14 if you so have the time and inclination. You do have your exercises to do this morning also. Later, dude.- Amorella

         Carol, Kim, Owen, Brennan and you had supper at Brennan's Colony Bar and Grill at the corner of Lee and Silsby in Cleveland Heights. Kim is ready to show you and Carol some material on Delaware County.

         2152 hours. The boys have been asleep an hour or so. I did not get anything done. Carol and Kim are talking about family and woman things I am not much interested in. Perhaps I can work on Audio Chapter 7.

         You began the audio seven but were interrupted with family. Perhaps tomorrow, dude. Relax and enjoy. You might be around one more time but I doubt it. - Amorella

         2253 hours. What does this mean, 'around one more time'? Are we around more than once?

         Stranger things have happened, boy. We have already talked about metempsychosis. - Amorella

Metempsychosis (Greek: μετεμψύχωσις) is a philosophical term in the Greek language referring to transmigration of the soul, especially its reincarnation after death. It is a doctrine popular among a number of Eastern religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Druzism wherein an individual incarnates from one [human] body to another [human body].

[Note: I limited the definition of metempsychosis in Wikipedia to not include the incarnation into animal or plant because this would conflict with premises already established in the blog and Merlyn books published and unpublished, i.e. book four: The Rebellion. - Amorella]

         Orndorff, I assume, you, as a transcendental existentialist have no problem with this limited definition of metempsychosis? - Amorella

         No, not at all. I also would limit the transmigration from a human oriented soul to another human oriented soul of for no other reason than simplicity in terms of these fictions. I am surprised this has come up here and now though.

         You had an experience that was similar once, back in the 1980's did you not? - Amorella

         That was imagination, Amorella.

         That was near the very time of the small 'ghost-like' light in the hallway and the neighbor only a week later saying they had an exorcism at his house; that the spirit of his brother, who died in WWII on a submarine had come visiting. You wrote about this in the blog some time back. - Amorella

         It was, but I don't believe any of it. I did wonder about it at the time, as the whole aspect was rather spooky. Even Carol awoke and thought she heard something in the hallway. I get goose bumps presently thinking on it.

         Imagination or not, (I won't quibble) you 'felt' the event as if it were real, did you not? - Amorella

         I did. Something within was torn away and something replaced it. The poetic image at the time was an old romantic image of a dove, not a white dove, just one ordinary dove left and another took its place. How I have forgotten about this, I don't know, but I did (mostly anyway). That is because I have the memory boxed in imaginary event not a real one, and that is where it stays, imaginary.

         I don't care where it is placed. At the time it was real enough that when we fictionalize it (even more from your perspective) it will still stand as an authentic feeling. - Amorella

         I can accept this under these conditions above. Is this going to be in Grandma 14?

         Why not? - Amorella

         Unbelievable. I thought I was going up to bed long before now.

         Post, orndorff, and go to bed. - Amorella
