notes - a morning thought / a manifestation in Brothers 21


        You had breakfast and read the paper but earlier when waking you had a thought about how the existential act of being, of living, is first and foremost a spiritual act with the physical being secondary. - Amorella

         0756 hours. I'm glad you got that out, Amorella, because I was trying to remember what it was that I thought. To me this is a very important personal observation. In bed last night I was thinking about those headphones and no matter how much I love listening to music the music by headphone is still artificial because of the ears' suppression only to the n headphone (to keep out other sounds). This morning, once awake and sitting in the chair with Jadah the Cat I heard the sometimes 'click' while the ceiling fan was on low. Otherwise it was quiet with a sense of sound from the open windows on another cool autumn-like early morning before sunrise. It is not the sound per se but the affect of the sound on the heartansoulanmind this is where 'being in existence' counts most. This is the spiritual first and the 'lead ins' to the spiritual through the physical. I think there is a tendency to mix the two because without the physical the spiritual would not exist, but, I think with human beings with higher consciousness it is also the other way around, the human spirit is first.

         Time to get ready, boy. You leave for Westerville in less than an hour. Post. - Amorella


         You had a better than good day as you had hoped. You are thinking there is little to really write about in Brothers 21 other than the same sorts of thoughts/dialogue that have been seen in the other twenty chapter segments. The original concludes with something that most everyone knows, that pets are easier to love than people are. What you are looking for is some sort of manifestation. - Amorella

         2156 hours. As usual I feel better with a definition before I comment. One would think I know what words mean, but I like the clarity of a definition for a foundation; besides, I see below that the word has a variety of meanings.

** **
manifestation - noun

1 the manifestation of anxiety: display, demonstration, show, exhibition, presentation.

2 manifestations of global warming: sign, indication, evidence, token, symptom, testimony, proof, substantiation, mark, reflection, example, instance.

3 a supernatural manifestation: apparition, appearance, materialization, visitation.

         Amorella, I was hoping for some sort of manifestation, but now that I see the meaning with greater clarity I don't think it would be a good idea. First, I cannot imagine any demonstration or presentation that would be applicable. Second, what sign; what proof; what reflection can I use, particularly in a fiction? Third, why do I show an apparition or visitation in The Brothers 21?  (2233)

         You were interrupted by a phone call from Kim about the house they may build. Just because you cannot conjure up a manifestation unique to the brothers and their wives doesn't mean it can't be done, boy. - Amorella

         I agree.  

         Post. - Amorella
