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 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.

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

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.

Amorella says it is. I need time to digest the whole of what is written.
Post, my young man. - Amorella
