You cleaned up on kitchen bag full of junk
and put it in the trash for next week while Carol was on the phone with Linda. –

1030
hours. I’ll do more. Lots of ‘stuff’ down there and it’s going away.
1049
hours. Some kind soul checked out this posting in the last day or so. I find it
relevant to our present discussion on the soul and heart.

Notes -
Lesson Seven - A / you have an imagination, use it
Mid-afternoon. It has been a relatively busy day
with chores and errands along with the usual Brennan care. You decided to go
ahead with editing for clarity the recent postings dealing with ‘metaphysics
and the heartansoulanmind’. With my help you have edited (with a few changes
for clarity) the posts involved and have placed them in a separate file. As you
were working you thought about other diversions you have worked on separately
while taking notes and realize this is nothing more or less than putting ideas
and concepts in order for further thought and personal review.
When I was piecing together my ‘booklet’ Metaphysics I came across these words
from a post:
** **
Grammar slows you down, boy. This is the reason the Dead speak more directly in
the books. – Amorella
I detect your smile.
This is good, as I have no substance. – Amorella
And a further smile in the humor.
From: 21
May 12 posting
** **
As soon as I read it I thought of what was said in
yesterday’s post:
Richard: “The soul is the place of ‘substance’.“
Amorella’s response: “Have it your way if you wish.”
** **
I have been trying to imagine the
soul as the place of substance. And, presently I am trying to also imagine you
as having no substance (which is still funny with the word meaning play). I
seem to have continual problems with word definitions (and at alien-like odds
with the English language). I wrote about a similar problem with translation
some time ago, but it was concerning the reason for making my
marsupial-humanoid aliens speak a language similar to German. This is in
remembrance of my exchange professor at Bowling Green State University in 1969.
Dr. Helmut Pellischek-Wilsdorf taught a graduate educational psychology class
and had done his doctorate in Freud’s works. One of my memories was that he
said the English translations of Freud were not completely correct because
German words are not necessarily as specific as English, the German allowed a
leeway in thought where the English translation wielded the German thoughts
into a concrete it did not deserve.
Back to our question for the day: How does the attendant enter the
soul? – Amorella
Does sheanhe leave at the same place?
The attendant does not leave. – Amorella
How come I have not seen examples of
this event in The Rebellion? There are no attendants whatsoever.
The main characters in the story do not find it necessary to exchange with
their attendants. When the attendants are forgotten they might as well be
someplace else but they stay as foundation. – Amorella
This sounds weak, Amorella. How can I think
(hypothetically) on how an attendant would enter the soul, when I have no
information on the attendant? You have said you do not have substance as a soul
does. Do these attendants have substance? What is the substance within the
soul, I assume it is not harmful to the heartanmind. I am looking for
consistency here. You have been consistent throughout the books and blog as far
as I can see. Consistency is one of your virtues. – rho
We have to define ‘substance’ first. – Amorella.
We are going to have a problem. I assume this is the quick
conclusion of a short experiment in the metaphysics of heartansoulanmind. If
you can’t define something you cannot explain and/or describe the information
at hand. Your first question: “How does a soul exist?” Your second: How
does an attendant enter a soul? I am assuming that the second question
gives evidence to an explanation that helps answer the first question. Is this
so?
Yes.
I have to have a definition of the
word “substance” because the word infers existence. For one piece of matter to
enter another piece of matter both have to exist. It is not proper to describe
something by what it is not.
Another question brought up is “How can the soul be
contained (by the heartanmind) in the physical world and be a container (of the
heartanmind) in the metaphysical?” An explanation by example was given.
This is the reason for working through an explanation of how the soul exists
and how an attendant enters the soul. I define the soul by stating it is the
land of milk and honey, and you counter that the soul is the place of
substance. I agree that for this exercise’s purpose both of definitions are
correct. – Amorella
The soul is constructed to exist in both the physical and
metaphysical universe.
Yes.
Is a higher conscious being with a heartansoulanmind also
constructed to exist in both the physical and metaphysical universe?
Yes.
The purpose in both cases has to do with natural process.
Yes.
Are “the land of milk and honey” and “the place of
substance” exactly the same thing figuratively?
No, but the conclusion of both definitions is the same.
Plato says that reality (physics) has form; substance;
process/movement; and atomics. What are the counter examples within
metaphysics?
Let’s work on “substance” first. – Amorella
I cannot get passed being and
non-being, and substance and non-substance.
Tonight, think from the perspective of Diplomat’s alien AC. Post. – Amorella
Think from outside the human
box?
Yes.
Don’t you want to grow in consciousness, boy? You have an imagination, use it. –

hours. This shows a consistency if nothing else.
Nick
C. is here making a template for the granite piece that surrounds the tub and
becomes the seat in the shower. He is also measuring for the new vanity. You
talked to Kim at the granite store to make sure you have ordered the same
correctly named pieces. – Amorella
1357
hours. We had take out from Prada’s Street Italian. I am curious to see how the
template is created. I mean, it’s stone there isn’t much room for error. It
will be in two or three pieces. – I talked to Nick, who has been in the granite
cutting business for twenty-five years. He lives on the West Side near where he
watched them film parts of the “The Money Pit” many years ago. I asked him how
long will it take him to finish this project and he said, “Two weeks.” We both
laughed. Watching him create the template I could tell he is an artist at
heart. He says there are no books on his business like with a plumber or
electrician. As for me, I consider him a stonemason in the truest sense of the
word, an artist. The curves in the granite have to match the curves in the tub,
no question about it – large tub too, 66” x 42”. Nick has five stars on Houzz
[Chastang’s Custom Designs].
Artists of any kind have a tendency to
impress you. – Amorella
1701
hours. Engineers and like scientific minds also impress me. – This ‘below’ just
popped into mind.
1707
hours. Is ‘slip’ the word?
No, because it has connotations. - Amorella

1726
hours. Going over the above slowly it is easy to see a problem developing in
translation from your sense of language to English. You stated in the recent 17
September post:
***
“I have a consciousness and exist as a
spiritual being within your unconsciousness. – Amorella”
***
Reading
the above statement presently I am caught up in an additional meaning. One, you
have a consciousness; and two, you exist as a spiritual being within my
unconsciousness. Existing as a spiritual being presently implies you may have
existed as something else besides ‘a consciousness’ before entering my
unconsciousness. (This paragraph exemplifies, for me, one of the joys as well
as one of the banes of language.)
You and Carol have been discussion this week’s
agenda and several contingencies depending on what people want to do and when. Carol
is obviously excited to see Linda and so forth. – Amorella
1813
hours. Getting suppertime and the news. I haven’t really resolved anything here
so far.
I did not give you a word for ‘slip’ and ‘into’
your ‘soul’ also has a connotation. – Amorella
1817
hours. This reminds me of our college religion course comments on whether Jesus
walked into the water or onto the water – a slip of the tongue
could make a difference of course. What’s the word for slip?
Which sounds better, boy, drove or dove into
your soul? - Amorella
1822
hours. Nice joke, Amorella.
Who’s joking? Post. - Amorella
Poorly worded sometimes, but this is who you
are boy. - Amorella
2043
hours. After the news Carol went upstairs to get ready for tomorrow. I checked
out new shows on Amazon and found the first season of “Sex and the City”. Carol
and I had watched most of the episodes but I never saw the first one. It was
fun, but I know how the series ends; a fun first episode but not enticingly so.
I’m ignoring your ‘drove or dove’ because neither one has any context with the
soul as I envision it. Also, I cannot imagine a spiritual being driving
anything or diving into a human soul. What would be the point either way. What
comes up is a garage with a swimming pool.
2149
hours. I will supply the word, rather than ‘slip’ I will say, “You entered my
soul.” A preposition is not needed. From
the soul you moved into the heart and from the heart into my unconscious.
The reasoning is correct. – Amorella
2159
hours. This is a statement from earlier:
** **
2047 hours. How
do identify a soul from a heart?
Tone and temperament. – Amorella
2050 hours. How
do you gain input to make such a judgment?
Understanding and empathy. – Amorella
Selected from 18 September posting.
** **
2202
hours. My understanding is that through ‘understanding and empathy’ you are
able to discern the ‘tone and temperament’ of the heart so as to decide which
is the heart and which is the soul.
And, by the same token you have gained an
understanding and empathy about me, the Amorella, through being aware of my
consciousness within for some twenty-seven or so years. – Amorella
2207
hours. My notes and writings over this time show circumstantial proof of this. Though
strictly speaking this is a circular argument in that legally, I, Richard,
exist, whereas you, the Amorella, the spiritual being within myself, does not
legally exist.
I agree. – Amorella
2213
hours. In context, what is the spiritual difference between a soul and the
Amorella?
Function. – Amorella
2222
hours. Form and function flew into my head from nowhere but only function
stayed. Interesting – and you signed your name to it.
Post for the night. – Amorella
2229
hours. A good place to post. This is interesting Amorella. The tone here is as
on an Ouija board, at least this is how I ‘feel’ the writing tone. If my ‘feeling’ is
leaning correctly, then authenticity is all I can honestly hope for. - rho
