Notes - not without heart / rules of survival / a full draft of Thunder

         Mid-morning. You were up before dawn for a change, picked up the papers, cleaned the litter boxes, had cereal and a banana with peanut butter, read the paper, did your forty minutes of exercises, and now you are sitting at Pine Hill Lakes Park waiting for Carol to complete her walk for this sunny and brisk day. – Amorella

         1009 hours. When I woke up I thought Thunder was completed but there is no mention of Singularity dancing or One musing so maybe the mythology is not complete. I don’t know. When I read it again this morning it is like both are inferred, that is, I didn’t miss those aspects because to me it still carries a theme of growing, comfort, empathy, understanding and learning. I like the style and tone very much, and when I think about it, understanding does not have to have the details that are associated with knowledge, so the bigger words are definitely out. It is a good story and I thank you very much for it Amorella.

         You also like the comment, “Humane consciousness provides the spiritual thunder,” don’t you boy? – Amorella

         1020 hours. I do like it but it is not a part of the story. At the same time it creates an anxiety that I do not wish to address so I am avoiding it.

         Really? – Amorella

         1022 hours. I understand the sarcasm Amorella, as you already know this, which is, I imagine, why you bring it up.

         If I don’t this anxiety, as you call it, is left inside your mind to fetter and there is no reason to waste your energy on it. – Amorella

         1025 hours. The words remind me of another, revolution.

         This is about the evolution of the humane spirit, boy. Growing, comfort, empathy, understanding and learning are hardly words of political revolution. These are spiritual words in context and are not provided for the profit motive to install a fee. Besides, the address is confined to the Merlyn books, is it not? – Amorella

         Of course, I just let my imagination run with the concept. Most teachers employ these words in their workaday world, so to many of us, retired or not, know and put these words to use every day in every kind of classroom. In fact, each of us is a lesson of such unto him or her self. This, that holds no measure of payment structure in the real world, invites learning and the results are measured spiritually in one’s character. (1041)

         You are showing an interest in how this is going to be developed in the refurbished Merlyn books. – Amorella

         1044 hours. I am because this is where I am most comfortable. I want a good story and one that humbly parallels Thunder in its stated theme but I do not see this in Merlyn’s dreams. These are mostly anecdotal-like stories shaped in a dreamed four cloverleaf setting.

         Carol returned from her walk a few minutes ago and picked up some Kroger bags and her pick-up tool to do some cleaning in the park. Let’s take a break, boy. Then, later, we have more of Thunder to put down. – Amorella

         So, it is not complete. I would have accepted it as it is.

         This accepting things, as they are, is one of the world’s problems, don’t you think? – Amorella

         1055 hours. Now, I see the dark humor emerging. All this is for a fiction. Very funny. Too bad, but funny nevertheless. A joke the Dead can live with. So deep is the wound without drawing a drop of blood – a jab at heartansoulanmind. People want facts in a fiction. I can live it. Nasty, but it is not without heart.

         Good. Relax and enjoy the brisk Spring day. – Amorella

         You are home and about to leave for lunch at Marx Bagels in Blue Ash. – Post. - Amorella


         You had a fine afternoon but as now the clouds are coming in from the southwest. You both love the deluxe tuna salad on a toasted honey wheat Marx bagel. Split in half in two sandwich cartons it is more than adequate, plus you had two oatmeal raisin cookies from Kidd’s Coffee this morning to complete the tuna. Alas, a craving for Graeter’s ruined the diet if there ever was one but you did succumb to that caramel gelato instead of the high butterfat content.

         1624 hours. Carol is outside still pulling dead leaves from the flowerbeds. The leaf bags and car are in the garage for the night though, unless Carol decides scrambled eggs for supper is not on the menu and Papa John’s pizza is.

         Next week Rich G. is ready for lunch at the usual Chinese, which is fine with you almost any time. Sunday Carol set up a late morning ‘Hammond’ family gathering (Mary Lou, Gayle and Ralph) at Max and Erma’s on I-71 about twelve miles south of Outlet mall shopping at Rt. 35 and I-71. From there, it is up to the Outlet mall for everyone. You plan to work on the book/blog at the nearby McD’s while the others shop. – Amorella

         (1635) Where do we go from here on Thunder Amorella?        

         First, here is how the mythology fits into GMG.One. In Chapter Eleven Richard brings up the dark humor and Robert responds, seeing more insight in the joke than Richard does. The actual myth is not shown in book one but it is further alluded to in the other three sections which you cannot imagine been done with a separate twist in those three separate sections. It will be alluded to in each of the remaining chapters in some way. Richard will, in general, tell the myth to his brother. Robert will ask Richard why Merlyn is of such dark humor when he is sharing his dreams with whoever is interested. That’s upcoming shortly. Let’s go to Thunder in its working document. – Amorella

         1715 hours. It is time for a break. I am surprised how easily I returned to the manner of speech as it were. I am also surprised how aware I am of the time, dropping it in almost unconsciously as the words move along.

         This consciousness keeps you in the real world, boy. Do not concern yourself with this basic necessity. Leave these markers in because from my perspective they show when you are drifting into the story. Add what you have here and post. – Amorella

         Continuing Thunder –

         As living beings evolve within the home environs from which they spring, a self-consciousness evolves also. Most of these beings accept who and/or what they are relative to others living somewhat unequally in their standing nature of growth. Rule one. Live to a mature growth. Rule two. Eat or be eaten. Nothing personal lies here. It is a rule. Rule one overtakes any other rule. Rule three, continue the species. This is not the same as the old adage, “It’s a dog eat dog world.” (1658) This is not the same as the will to survive, it is necessity and with the offspring life is happenstance. Thus, genetic consciousness learns a lesson in survival of the group first not the individual. This is observed within infestations of disease and insects up through the higher conscious species. The young have little or no choice, life is happenstance. The more mature have more choices on how to survive first. Eat and live with one’s fellows for mutual protection or be eaten by others. Continue the species. There are variations of these rules but they are adopted by so many species that it becomes habit and habit then becomes instinctive. The genes learn to adapt. It is built in from Before the Beginning when there was nothing known to adapt to. (1715) Break time.

      1742 hours. In here does consciousness lead to conscience?

** **
conscience – noun

an inner feeling or voice viewed as acting as a guide to the rightness or wrongness of one's behavior: he had a guilty conscience about his desires | Ben was suffering a pang of conscience.

ORIGIN Middle English (also in the sense ‘inner thoughts or knowledge’): via Old French from Latin conscientia, from conscient- ‘being privy to,’ from the verb conscire, from con- ‘with’ + scire ‘know.’
***

consciousness noun

the state of being awake and aware of one's surroundings: she failed to regain consciousness and died two days later.
• the awareness or perception of something by a person: her acute consciousness of Mike's presence.
• the fact of awareness by the mind of itself and the world: consciousness emerges from the operations of the brain.

ORIGIN late 16th cent. (in the sense ‘being aware of wrongdoing’): from Latin conscius ‘knowing with others or in oneself’ (from conscire ‘be privy to’

Selected from the Oxford-American software
** **

Interestingly, in origin, according to the software, ‘conscience’ is first. I thought it would be the other way around. The two are closely related.

         In context conscience is reasonable as being first as it appears to come from an inner feeling or voice acting as a guide to rightness or wrongness in one’s behavior. This implies instinctive behavior. Consciousness implies a broader meaning of outer awareness.

         How does one address this observation in the story? (1801)

         This can be addressed with the muses. We only need three. - Amorella

         2130 hours. Who?

         Dance, poetry and clarity. – Amorella

         I don’t think there is a muse of clarity. Oh --

** **
clarity noun

the quality of being clear, in particular:
• the quality of coherence and intelligibility: for the sake of clarity, each of these strategies is dealt with separately.
• the quality of being easy to see or hear; sharpness of image or sound: the clarity of the picture.
• the quality of being certain or definite: it was clarity of purpose that he needed.
• the quality of transparency or purity: the crystal clarity of water.

ORIGIN Middle English (in the sense ‘glory, divine splendor’): from Latin claritas, from clarus ‘clear.’ The current sense dates from the early 17th cent.

From – Oxford-American software

Would you look at that – divine splendor. This is spooky Amorella. I was thinking on coherence and intelligibility and on how I am the irony here, having at times little of each. I am ready for another session of Thunder. (2142)

         The story is complete but not in clarity. A clean-up can be done tomorrow. Here is the whole story in draft form. – Amorella

Thunder (a full draft)

         Long, long ago only two Qualities exist, Before and Space/Time. Both are cloaked in a Silence that would stir the Dead. Time does not move but Space does. This wears warmth where Before and Space/Time are close to one another. Warmth creates a catalyst for Growth in the Silence that would stir the dead back to life. The warmth, the friction, causes a Lightning unheard. Before and Space/Time are both equally struck and a welt appears in Before at the same time an equal welt appears in Space/Time. The twin welts mold into twin Spirits. The Spirit dancing in Before is Singulariy and the Spirit growing in Space/Time is One. Both are quality motherly spirits but as they are in two separate Places they stay close as a mother stays with her child and the warmth that caused the Lightning becomes a comfort between the two Spirits of Quality. To an outsider this series of events would appear as nothing at all because the Lightning was quick but the twin Spirits are even quicker.

         Now, Before cannot change, but Space/Time can. Singularity confined in Before cannot change, but One, the First Spirit in Space/Time can. The two spirits are connected in a relationship known as kinship. This kinship supports empathy and understanding. It is this kinship that supports further growth because two spirits can grow faster with the support of the other. The special bond between the two motherly spirits grows to the point that in Space/Time a small welt appears where Time which is as a solid, begins to slowly move until it frames Space within itself to protect and nurture as Singularity and One have learned to protect and nurture one another even though they are seemingly forever apart. The protecting and nurturing the young are what parents do today, forever mimicking the qualities of the twin sister spirits.

         This ever so small welt grows on Time and eventually grows in Space. This welt, like an acorn, grows well beyond its original size firmly rooted in Time and nurtured mostly by One the First Spirit in Space/Time. The once tiny welt grows a trunk and limbs all quite invisible because it is nurtured as a child and friend, with empathy and understanding. As One observes the growth of the little welt into an acorn and giant invisible tree, One learns much about empathy and understanding and she in turn passes her knowledge learned by observation on to Singularity, who though seeming frozen with Before can grow within while One can grow without. Both motherly Spirits can learn and without learning they cannot grow. Silent Lightning such as this can only strike spirits once because it is not needed to strike again. All this happened long, long ago before the first universe budded on the giant spirit-like tree. When the bud burst open it appeared to be a beautiful flower of light.

         “The light is so pretty,” says One to Herself. “I wonder how the light would appear from within?” Nothing is ever said of course because Before and Space/Time are still clothed in Silence. It is a thought, a declaration of beauty and wonder. With this One follows through, literally. With the fire of vigor and enthusiasm and spirit a very small amount of One slides into and throughout this Great Tree of Flowering Universes to allow a brightness within as well as without. Ever the observer, the learner with empathy and understanding One learns through the many other eyes that nurture and grow in the First Universe and the many other universes that follow, brightly lighting the Great Tree of Universes and One settles in each and every one with Presence galore.

         As living being evolve within the home environs from which they spring a self-consciousness evolves also. Most of these beings accept who and/or what they are relative to others living somewhat unequally in the standing nature of growth. Rule one. Live to a mature growth. Rule two. Eat or be eaten. Nothing personal lies here. It is a rule. Rule one overtakes any other rule. Rule three. Continue the species. This is not the same as the old adage, “It’s a dog eat dog world.” This is not the same as the will to survive, it is necessity and with the offspring life is happenstance. Thus, genetic consciousness learns a lesson in survival of the group first not the individual. This is observed within infestations of disease and insects up through the higher conscious species. The young have little or no choice; life is happenstance. The more mature have more choices on how to survive first. Eat and live with one’s fellows for mutual protection or be eaten by others. Continue the species. There are variations of these rules but they are adopted by so many species that it becomes habit and habit then becomes instinctive. The genes learn to adapt. It is built in from Before the Beginning when there was nothing known to adapt to.

One observes that growth naturally stops in Space/Time. She has no one to consult with but her twin. Singularity is surrounded by Before and this culture of Permanence molds her into an Aspect of Reason and Intellect.

         Singularity whispers a silence of Reason, “The highest virtue is learning because it stimulates growth.”

         When One receives this sense of how things will be, she adds, “Learning allows Permanence.”

         Singularity responds, “The Spirit has a Permanence Built In. Wrap this with a sense of higher value, a Conscience within and a Consciousness without. So much better to be aware for greater growth, that need not stop even by the constraints of physical death.

         With this One muses for the first time and Reason decrees the first three Muses to come forth in spirit and stimulate continued growth to those being who obtain conscience and consciousness – Dance, Poetry and Clarity wrapped as one.

         And, those beings of higher conscience and consciousness begin to scratch their heads and think beyond the confines of their bodies enclosed within Space/Time until they unconsciously grow beyond this barrier. They return to what they once were, spirit alone, and continue to individually learn and grow within a room of all rooms along with One, and One alone learns and grows in silence with her twin Singularity in Before.

         2233 hours. The story is more complete but I do not know this is complete unless Amorella says it is. I need time to digest the whole of what is written.

         Post, my young man. - Amorella
