You were in a long queue at the post office but eventually you had the
tax envelopes hand stamped like most everyone else who also didn’t have
packages on this dark and somewhat warm but gloomy morning. – Amorella
1052
hours. The honeysuckle leaves have really popped out this morning. If the rains
continue regularly we’ll have another Spring like last year’s. Lots of lush
growth is fine with me and most everyone else I imagine. Jadah is curled up in
a ball on the top of the couch while Spooky is watching behind the open window
but before the window screen for critters on the ground behind the front
shrubs. She talks to them from time to time. We love our cats. They comfort us
as much as we comfort them. We are good companions for one another.
This is the attitude we will take with the
marsupial-humanoids. When you learn about another species you learn more about
yourself in the process. Makes reasonable sense does it not? – Amorella
1110 hours. It does.
You are afraid to express your thought here,
boy, the leap from any species back to the story of Singularity and One? –
Amorella
I realize and know full well this is a story, but I am thinking that if
there were a parallel truth to it, one could reason, at least as far as Thunder
is concerned, that Singularity and One ‘seeing’ through the spiritual eyes of
all conscious growth in Space/Time learning takes place within these twin
spirits also. I hesitate because I automatically project this on as an
observation of what Before is.
Whatever Before is its Process, at
least as far as these books and blog are concerned, is Growth and Learning from
the Growth to allow more Growth and more Learning. I am capitalizing here because
focusing on spiritual growth rather than physical growth and do not wish to be
disrespectful. – rho
Thoughts come and go boy and you should know
by now that it is the ones from the depth that can do the most personal harm or
good. I understand the reason for the capitals and also the concern because an
internal rule you have adapted is “To Not Get Too Close To Amorella Out of
Respect That She Might Be an Angel of G---D.” This is because you nor anyone
else can know for certain. Let’s find a picture of an Angel from one of your
literary and spiritual heroes, William Blake. – Amorella
1209 hours. This took a bit of searching. There are so many. I am not
comfortable with many of them but I do not know why. Here is the one I choose,
“The Angel of Divine Presence”.
“The Angel of Divine Presence” by William Blake
This
is how your mystic, Blake, saw angels. You focus on spiritual fire rather than
the six toes on the large foot because you can see no reason for an angel to
have feet at all let alone large ones. You cannot see the six fingers but you
assume they are there nevertheless. The fire appears real to you without much
imagination because this is something you have ‘felt’ when with your feet
propped up in the bathtub, you ‘saw’ a mystical experience of ‘fire’ emanating
on your toes and you immediately thought, this is an image, a flash of Blake’s
spiritual fire surrounding my toes in my imagination. That was it. The image
was gone. Then (the flash memory) “I have seen this before, back in high school
and college days, when I would look down at my hands with fingers spread in bed
in the dark of night and think, ‘I see a glow an aurora of orange and greenish flames
in and surrounding my fingers.’”
1224
hours. These were just mystical like flashes – no doubt from being absorbed by
many of Blake’s imagery and poetry, particularly in college. These events
thought are just imagination leaping out, wondering – what would it be like to
have spiritual fires leaping from the fingers and toes like seen in Blake’s
paintings, would that not be cool? I know how this is/was Amorella. I remember –
there was a lot of wonderings and what if’s. No doubt to distract from whatever
was boring me at the moment. I used to talk to Bob P. about these things at the
time, and I told my aunt and uncle about the fiery toes after it happened. They
didn’t say much, but I was talking about the image, not actual fire, of course.
I don’t know how I got onto this today. We will be off to lunch soon imagine –
Panera/Chipotle. (1231)
Carol had an apple salad and a multigrain Baggett. You had your usual,
your favorite, biretta bowl to go, brown rice, black beans, veggies, hot sauce,
corn, cheese and lettuce. Carol has ice tea plain and you have a mix of diet
Dr. Pepper and a splash of regular Dr. Pepper. And, you are waiting for Carol
at Kroger’s on Tylersville and Cox. – Amorella
You
are still thinking about Blake’s angels because the one you like best is one
that is displayed in your old English literature book because if there ever was
an angel in real life that is how you would picture him. – Amorella
1450 hours. You are right, it is. Why, because he is reasoning the
world/universe or appears to be.
You have never imagined me, Amorella, like
that. Don’t you find that interesting? – Amorella
I don’t remember ever thinking about it, that is a comparison between
Blake’s angel(s) and you. I cannot picture you in a physical form. Even the
earlier sketches of you I have never thought of as you; they are basic
interpretations, abstracts of a sort or immediate first impressions or
intuitions of you. You call yourself a Floater and Betweener, that is, a
condition-of-existence in my mind. I am most comfortable with this imagine. So,
what I am saying (to myself here) is that you are basically a part of Existence
in my consciousness/unconsciousness.
You are home. Check on that work of Blake –
his best in your opinion of what you would call a ‘natural’ being that others
might call supernatural. – Amorella
1602 hours. I really don’t know why this has come up today. I am an
agnostic and will always have doubts – I don’t always believe my senses because
I have lived long enough with these ‘irregularities’ in all five to know doubt
is the best policy no matter what I might experience. I would be a fool to act
otherwise. And, I have been that fool once or twice in my life, and I survived
it as a matter of Grace I suppose or, luck, one of the two. People, who are
convinced they know something that is not scientifically knowable, scare me
more than I scare myself. Okay,
now to find that image of “The Ancient of Days”.
** **
The Ancient of Days is the title of a design by William Blake, originally published
as the frontispiece to a 1794 work, Europe
a Prophecy. It shows Urizen crouching in a circular design with a
cloud-like background. His outstretched hand holds a compass over the darker
void below. As noted in Gilchrist’s Life
of William Blake, the design was "a singular favourite with Blake and
as one it was always a happiness to him to copy." As such there are many
versions of the work extant, including one completed for Frederick Tatahm only
weeks before Blake’s death.
The British Museum
notes that one copy, accessioned in 1885, was excluded from Martin Butlin’s
1982 catalogue raisonné of Blake’s
paintings and drawings, suggesting the author doubted that attribution.
Early critics of Blake
noted the work as amongst his best, and a favourite of the artist himself. A
description by Richard Thompson in John Thomas Smith’s Nollekens and His
Times, was of “... an uncommonly fine specimen of art, and approaches
almost to the sublimity of Raffaelle or Michel Angelo.” and as representing the
event given in the Book of Proverbs viii. 27 (KJV), “when he set a compass upon
the face of the earth.” The subject is said to have been one of the 'visions'
experienced by Blake and that he took an especial pleasure in producing the
prints. . . .

hours. No question about it, if I were to pick a mystical-like image from
anyone else I could identify with, in tone with my own rare mystical-like
occurrences, this is the one. – rho
You wonder on why today’s angelic theme, as
it were, is so exhausting spiritually. You wonder on where this focus comes
from within: heart, soul or mind. It is a conflict between heart and mind, boy.
Your soul tempers the conflict because it appears to be irresolvable. Now, in
these books, this gives you a personal example of how it is when one chooses to
stay within herorhis sanctuary instead of meeting with like spirits and getting
on with one’s spiritually conscious/unconscious life. – Amorella
1637 hours. Whoa. This is a lesson indeed. I cannot begin to imagine how
to resolve the problem.
And, with this, you see how it is in many
peoples’ lives today – a struggle between the heart and the mind. The painting
by Blake appears to show an Angel about to resolve whatever the deepest of
inner problems might be. That’s my interpretation. – Amorella
1642 hours. This is as a glimpse of seeing through the glass darkly
Amorella. I am dumbfounded.
Indeed. Post. - Amorella

I
realize many of these page views last but a second or two, but I thank you all
for taking a peek into this old man’s mind and heart, both real, but for me,
the soul is still debatable. Amorella, she is real enough to have kept me
focused for more than twenty-five years. (1704) Cheers. – rho ;-)
Post. - Amorella
2050 hours. I have almost finished “The Brother” segment for chapter
eleven but I need to add a small bit about Thunder. I’m not sure how to
approach it after today’s posting – this struggle between heart and mind.

This
children’s cosmology just pops into consciousness. I have a theoretical first
spirit and her twin. Somehow in Before they
cause the first of many universes to grow into existence. Our universe isn’t
even thought of yet. Silent lightning. Later, beings with spirits cause the
thunder in their voices. I don’t know if this is a story for me, an Earthling
or for me pretending to be a marsupial humanoid. I should ask Rob, but not yet.
Sometimes writing is not all it’s cracked up to be. (2101)

The
above is what I come up with but it may be too much.
How about this:
***
I have create this mythology for the
marsupial-humanoids to re-discover on ThreePlanets in the next book but I like
it so much I feel like sharing it now with my friends on Facebook. I should
share it with Robert first and see what he thinks. No, not yet. It’s hard
to know what to do here. - Amorella

Drop it in and let’s see how it sounds. -

2120
hours. I had to tweak it because it was 803 words, but I cut it down to just
below.
All for tonight. We should finish this
chapter up tomorrow. Post. – Amorella
I can’t think of the words Amorella
