Notes - self-deception / ratios to carry along / resistance is futile

         Evening. You all had donuts from Schneider’s Bakery in Westerville and treats from On The Rise Bakery in Cleveland Heights for breakfast. You also had an a good (uneventful) trip home, a late lunch at Panera/Chipotle, a nap, scrambled eggs and cheese and veggies for supper. You watched ABC News, “NCIS” and “Elementary”. Carol retired to bed and you are thinking on an abstract model for heartansoulanmind as well as working on Chapter Nine. – Amorella

         2148 hours. I had a few likes and comments to my latest comment on Facebook about how at 72 I still find life interesting. Actually, I forgot I made the comment until I got online tonight. Former students and friends are kind. I sometimes forget and just say what I am feeling at the moment then later quietly embarrassed for having done so because I am not in the classroom anymore and Facebook is not a classroom and I am a former teacher of many FB friends not their teacher.

         The above has been stewing in you for a few days from earlier comments you have made. I will advise you if I feel you are making comments that are out of place. So far, you are just being yourself on Facebook, and because of that you sometimes (later) feel embarrassed for saying what you think. This is a fact, orndorff. Post. – Amorella

         2157 hours. Being honest with one’s self and with others is not always so easy – contrived thoughts are not good from my perspective – honest ones are not contrived. Later, I sometimes wonder if the thought was unconsciously contrived; I hope not, but I cannot always know at the moment. Perfection is not a goal here but the concerns are ongoing always. Self-deception is always a concern. – rho

         I understand completely, boy. Your self-doubts, many of them, are an armor against self-prevention. Self-awareness is an even stronger armor against self-deception. In these books the Dead become self-aware because with the Dead there is no longer any self-deception, no mirrors to reflect from or on for that matter. - Amorella

         This morning you thought to use coins to represent the heart and soul and mind, and, in a sense this is not as illogical as it sounds. Your idea was that the quarter would represent the heart, a dime would represent the mind and a nickel would represent the soul. – Amorella

         2239 hours. I was thinking in terms of ‘spiritual worth’ not money; it seemed ironic to even make coins a consideration. I cannot rectify the nickel as the soul when it is smaller, it must encompass both heartanmind within the books.

         I see no reason the soul by itself cannot be represented thusly and I like the ratio comparison of heart to mind. The struggle comes about when the heart finds it must be reduced to fit within the soul. In here, humility allows this. This analogy is two-dimensional. Thickness does not exist. Besides, a dead human would see a single line and wouldn’t know if it were herorhis own heartansoulanmind or someone else’s. This may not work for what you want to create as an abstract but it gives you some thought to carry. Post. - Amorella

        2255 hours. It is too bad there is not a 'representation' such as Pi to use is 'gearing up' the human spirit.

        Remembering your Star Trek, orndorff -- resistance is futile. - Amorella

        2309 hours. Do you mean the heartansoulanmind are assimilated? And, if so, by what?

      Close enough, boy. What could assimilate a spirit? – Amorella

        2313 hours. A physical body assimilates the human spirit.

        There’s the rub, boy. - Amorella
