Mid-morning. You are awaiting a call
from Kim as you promised you would go up tonight if needed to take care of the
boys tomorrow as there is no childcare day school because of Good Friday.
Grandma and Grandpa Paik are scheduled to be up there so she probably won't
call. You are the backup-in-case.
0948.
All this trivia sometimes bothers me Amorella, the only good thing about it is
that if I lose my memory as did my grandfather I can read about parts of my
everyday life but if I don't remember who I am what difference will it make?
Shoot, I might even forget how to read.
Trivia is a part of life, orndorff, and you
are recording it in conjunction with your long held theory that a writer's
environment is always of importance to herorhis art. What do you say to that,
boy? - Amorella
I think you misunderstand, Amorella.
My long held theory was in deference to real writers, the ones in the American,
British and World literature courses, not to myself. I am the scribe and
editor, not the writer. So, I will turn the table here. What is your
environment other than myself?
I am here and there; where you have memory I
have existence. - Amorella
That's a short and easy explanation. I
even can understand the concept. I don't believe I have ever thought that
concept before.
Why would you? - Amorella
I didn't even think you would respond
to my question because I sounded arrogant and clever at the same time when I was thinking/writing it.
It is not so easy as humans sometimes think
it is to know when you are being innocent or clever and/or arrogant. - Amorella
What does this mean?
It means human beings, children and adults, retain some forms of innocence. There would be no HeavenOrHellBothOrNeither if
this were not so. - Amorella
This sounds a bit radical.
Well,
think on it, boy, because that's the way it is from my perspective. You asked
and I answered. Post. - Amorella
1108 hours.
Exercises are completed. Do you have memory?
No need for memory, boy. - Amorella
You
need not respond with words as I can see you have none. -- You are arrogant to
think you have overstepped your bounds. You have no idea what the bounds are
until you have come to them. Go take a relaxing bath. Later, dude. Post. -

Early afternoon. Lunch at Penn Station and now you are at Pine Hill Lakes Park in downtown Mason. The flowers are coming up on the west hill and one has actually blossomed a bright yellow. Carol finished The Innocent yesterday and has a new one with her but is reading the May "Consumer Reports" that arrived today. You were going to work on the audio for chapters eight and nine but forgot your earphones. Let's work on Dead 16 instead. - Amorella
1411 hours. I set up the document and was about to go into Braided Dreams for the previous segment and realized there isn't one. Beyond this I have no clue other than Merlyn is involved, well, I assume he's involved.
I just re-read Dead 15; it is hard to believe I forgot what it was about already. It is rather sad actually. I was really pumped when I finished that segment. Blew me away, and here, at the moment I didn't remember what it was about, not a clue.
Mid-afternoon. Two kid's ice creams in cups eaten at leisure in the car at Graeter's and now a stop at Kroger's on Tylersville. Merlyn is involved but so is a flashback to the time of the first Rebellion. You were intuitively correct in checking first, but you were checking the wrong document. Let's go to the second chapter of The Rebellion. - Amorella
1601 hours. We are home and the groceries are put away. We are upstairs I am in the chair and Carol is sitting on the bed watching HGN where a young couple are looking for a new home (instead of renting) in Austin, Texas. I can't concentrate presently.
1657 hours. We watched the 30 minute HGN show then Carol headed to the basement and I took the cats to the west bedroom and opened the window. Jadah immediately sat on the sill and enjoyed the full sun and Ellie sat in the sun in the immediate chair under the sill. You could tell they were enjoying the experience. Domestic cats are still cats, no question about it -- hunters and sun worshipers both. It is no wonder the ancient Egyptians liked cats. Our short hair would fit right in among the pillars and pyramids I believe. Jadah has a well-coordinated black and white coat, pink paw pads, a pink nose and those jade-hued eyes as well as long white whiskers and eyebrows. Jadah is a very handsomely well-groomed and dressed cat. Ellie is downstairs keeping Carol company especially as it is getting closer to dinner time. Maine raccoon cats carry a lot of hair, poundage and a good healthy appetite, as well they should.
1715 hours. What am I looking for in chapter two, Amorella?
You'll know when we arrive. We'll cut and paste the section onto the Dead 16 doc then we'll go from there. - Amorella
1736 hours. I have a little over 900 words from three scenes, 2, 11 and 12. They are the only scenes that would fit within context of Dead 15 in any case, so I included them all.
These scenes will work. - Amorella
Which scenes did you actually want me to pick? Okay, the question is unnecessary.
Add them here and then you can better see where we are going. - Amorella

From a Chapter 2 draft of The Rebellion
Scene 2
This Elysium works on what is presently known in science. The connection between the Dead and the Living is in the mind’s perception. The Living help the Dead by learning and increasing the bounds of human experience.
Everyone contributes through self-education, what one learns in and from life is taken with the Dead. The human mind, if you will, serves as a serendipitous taxi service. The Dead, of course, are out of time, therefore have a more easily develop theory, which they inversely pass on to the Living. The River Styx is the conduit, for whatever the river is in actuality, it is a Form that carries a current of new ideas and concepts both to the Living from the Dead and from the Dead to the Living.
The reader is as an angelic-like observer of a portion of these Books on Life and Death. Imagine, if you will, your mind as angelic-like, but only in its form. Imagination is a prerequisite to reading or listening to these books.
Scene 11
Morning, the fourth day.
As the sky turned a light blue in the low eastern sky, a first pre-chosen assembly of the Dead began to rise and in a systematic planned manner arrived at Stone Hill and picked up a few stones and wheeled or carried them back to Eleusis Street and set them down along the side walkways. Another preferred group began carrying the stones down Eleusis to near the shore of the Styx River.
This operation was continually carried on during the day. The conversations among the Dead were general or personal but no one even in a whisper gave a reason for this silent maneuvering. Others carried on their daily habits for reasonable comfort. Each appeared to know what they were to do and from above the entire process looked like a nest of ants on a mission of food gathering, however, in this case they are the nearby Dead gathering food for thought.
The Dead understand the air of Elysium is as their genetic Eve Mother’s eyes. She is at the heart of the heartsansoulsanminds of the elected ten thousand. Orders are few and far between, but when deeply heartfelt by Mother commands are intuitively understood. Most children of all ages understand this process, though it is more easily communicated among the Dead.
With the elected ten thousand this is more easily grasped, and intuition runs deep. All Eve’s children recognize a truth when they feel it from the inside out. Feeling is not declaring however, and in here, true translation from one sense to another is not so easily accomplished no matter how heartfelt it may be. Elected, as used in these books, means favored, all who enter Elysium are favorite sons and daughters, it does not mean that the other children are not cared for or loved, but some are or become favorites. Parents who claim they love all their children equally deny a truth of nature within.
To absolve a few questions between the two social terms, the elite and the proletariat, for instance, I’ll say each individual is judged equally, but how the person lived is, in part, up to how the person chose to live her-or-his common life under the circumstances she-or-he lived. Souls are all-common in these books. Hearts are distinct as are minds. Recent Dead who have a problem with this. and come Here, will find there is an awakening of higher consciousness. Otherwise, why would the person be Here in the first place.
The only roost one rules is her-or-his own. This sharpens the sense of Free Will. People have no fear of other people Here. Control is genetic, in that the two common elements of living are a birth and a death date. Beyond that, is the natural growth of heart and of mind. Necessity provides the few rules, nature abides.
Scene 12
This is the Supervisor. While I watch individual heartsansoulsanminds their souls experience the fact they are being observed. This causes a possible imbalance, a teeter-totter of heart and mind in the deepest of unconscious levels. This is how it is. A rule. Mix this with Free Will and the heart and mind resort to a very intimate pairing. Subtle changes in behavior may eventually result.
I know this Place like it is the back of my hand, which it isn’t. The Dead will continue to grow. Are they going to build a bridge across the River Styx? I do not know. The Dead don’t know themselves, and the Living know even less.
Traditionally, in the later Medieval Age the Virtues and Vices were simplified and separated into four-teen qualities. This story and the next two include them as it is necessary for the reader to discern the subtle differences. This is not an easy task but it raises the bar for those who are curious about the eventual outcome. These are those traditional four-teen in alphabetical order: the Virtues: Abstinence, Chastity, Diligence, Humility, Kindness, Liberality and Patience. The Vices are as follows: Avarice, Envy, Gluttony, Lust, Pride, Sloth and Wrath.
Now, let’s return to the humans and watch these qualities sparkle from time to time as they run from heart to mind and back again. This species is not to be toyed with, or any other that is similar in heart-an-soul-an-mind. It is interesting to observe growth under such circumstances when you are a timeless being such as myself. I wish all such species well.

1757 hours. I have searched the Dead summaries and it does not appear I have used this already. Also, the billiard table allusion, will this be used?
You appear to be ready but it will soon be suppertime. Yes, the billiard table will be used. More on that later. Post. - Amorella
