196. Notes - end of line / intro to 'Old Man On A Study"

196. 24 August 2019

       Earlier this morning you cancelled this blog and said so on Facebook. Two people had read the three daily blogs, but that was it. The whole situation was making you uncomfortable and mostly it was because you did not expect my reaction or Ms Havisham's to making theatre out of the blog. And, this brought up another thought, you with Socrates on the stage. You then decided to be Mr. Peanut, also a reaction to a theatre production even in your head. Relax. I'm not going anywhere. 

       Neither am I, Mr. Orndorff. - mh

       0851 hours. Thank you both.

       You are at Kroger's Marketplace for a couple of items on the way home. You have to feed Ellie again between one and two, then again at seven or so. It is a bright clear day, with cool Fall-like weather. - Amorella

       Good morning, Mr. Orndorff. Your greatest fear here is that you will stop writing because you have nothing left to say, to share. You 'want' to restart Encounters in Mind but it might be better to continue with another Encounters blog. You can't go back except in your head -- and it is better to move on to something else and just take the Spirit World as a learning experience in experimental writing because that basically is what it is. Later. - mh

     25 August 2019 - Experimental writing is what it is. Once I began feeling uncomfortable writing this blog, it was time to end it. However, it is online to view. Why? Transparency is important to me. Thank you for reading. 
: 

      29 August 2019 at 1939 hours.  I have a new blog that begins:

Old Man on a Study

The Old Man is real enough, but like most human beings he is more fiction than he likes to admit. This blog is written by a not so free spirit named "Amorella" through the Old Man's fingers on the keyboard. I am his poetically personified soul, "Ms Havisham" who also named myself through the Old Man's fingers on the keyboard. What is the present informal thesis of this study? Whatever comes to mind each day the Old Man writes until he thinks of something better. - Ms Havisham

oldmanonastudy@blogger.com

Thank you for reading!   :-)   Richard O.

195. Notes - 2 spirits, 1 human / blog stopped.

23 August 2019

       Afternoon. You are sitting in the driveway facing South. Just across, your neighbor of four months had sod finally put in today. No more dirt. Only one lot in your development needs sod and it is ready for it. You are waiting for Carol to feed the cats then you are going over to the park beneath Alum Creek Dam to read for a bit. Later, about seven, you have to drive over to Kim and Paul's to feed Ellie, their long-haired Maine. Tomorrow you feed her three times then on Sunday morning, once.  - Amorella

       Obviously, Mr. Orndorff, there are no lines of any kind in the Spirit World of human and human-like heartsansoulsanminds.  - mh

       1618 hours. Ms Havisham, how could a 'section' of the Spirit World be set up as a drama stage set (just to get my head around it), or we can move on, i.e. I don't know what I don't know?

       How about three people on an empty stage, Amorella, me and you. - mh

       You, well-tanned, aged with white beard, would be dressed as you usually are, slippers or slip on shoes, no socks, long light brown or gray kakis pants, a loose, casual outside the belt short sleeve or long sleeve shirt with the arm lengths folded up to about an inch below the elbows, and your black wool beret. No rings, but a vintage Apple watch. You would have to appear to be five feet, ten inches tall, with a barrel chest and weigh about two-hundred and forty pounds, size thirteen-wide shoes would do. Basically, someone who looks like you do presently but smaller.. Arthritic conditions in back, knees noticeable when you walk, and carrying a black cane, of course. What do you think, young man? - Amorella

       1650 hours. I think I never know what the subject is going to be each session. With this, Mark Twain Presents flashes to mind. The one with Hal Holbrook as Mark Twain. You are suggesting a one man show with two actresses and one actor represented.  I think this is okay if I am reading this right. Not for real of course, but for me to visualize this as we go along. I'll make my name Mr. Peanut. 

       Good. That's how you'll visualize it then. - Amorella

       1656 hours. I assume I'll picture Ms Havisham similar to how she presented herself in the early photo, about five foot, seven inches. Pretty and very kind and empathetic. 

       Yes, please do, Mr. Orndorff. It will be fun to do so in your head. - mh

       1658 hours. This is strange and quite awkward to ask you how I should represent you, Amorella, but I'm asking. 

       Represent me as the Greek philosopher, Socrates. I am about five feet, eight inches in height and weigh about one hundred and eighty pounds. I am lightly skinned, more so than you and I am wearing brown, ancient-like Greek sandals, a heavy full beard with gray hair, not white. Gray hair on my head too and balding. Crusty old fellow. Actually, picture me as the old Greek philosopher you saw in the garden when you were first hypnotized by Dr. Payne at University of Cincinnati back in the mid-eighties. - Amorella

       1711 hours. That's pretty good, Amorella because your description is quite reasonable to that man I saw in a trance. How can you do that? It is like I was remembering after the fact (of the trance) and before both at once. I have to take a break. The old Greek fellow in the trance was walking in a garden where I suddenly appeared, He smiled and nodded 'Hello'. The background on the hill above was the Parthenon several hundred feet away and on higher ground. No doubt I replicated this background from a travel photograph I had seen. (1719)

       Post when applicable. - Amorella

       1751 hours. Amorella, you want to present yourself as a man when I have always thought of you as female?'

       You can present me as a touch effeminate, enough to be noticeable, but not enough to affect the spirit of the show. - Amorella

       1754 hours. That is really funny, Amorella. I like it. Gives me something more to think about. 

       I think it is funny too, Amorella, more like the real you. - ml

       1756 hours. You both are too much.

      Later. You stopped by and fed and visited with Kim and Paul's cat, Ellie. Drove home during the sunset and have been relaxing since. - Amorella

       I am glad we are resolving the problem of description through dialogue. Words are good at describing what is invisible but felt and thought on. Such a place is the Spirit World. One such World conjured up by the heartansoulanmind of an avowed romantic Transcendentalist in his heart of hearts, and who is at the same time a long-lived existential Agnostic in his mind and practical nature. I am the soul of one of these Homo sapiens at least through his imagination. I've been there before which is one of the reasons I'm still hanging around, so to speak. - mh

       2148 hours. This is only the fifth day of metaphysical school in my heartansoulanmind. I love my spirit teacher, Amorella. She is my challenge and my inspiration. I am a young seventy-seven-year old male, born when FDR was third term President and we were moving well into the Second World War. Life has changed; but for me, being human has not. 

       Post. - Amorella

194. Notes - without straight and/or curved lines

194. 22 August 2019

       You are at Bob Evans waiting on Fritz. - Amorella

       We were talking about the Churnings and its part in the human aspect of the Spirit World. Churnings is a separate section of the Spirit World which can be viewed as Underneath, the basement, if you will, seeing this in a two-dimensional framework. Imagine, if you will several floors, though there is no spiritual framing. This is a sparse representation of course. - mh

        You had an excellent lunch with Fritz, good conversations over a variety of subjects.  . . .

       The Spirit World in reality has no straight lines or curves as there is no need for either. - mh

       1452 hours. At least there is an image, a building with a basement, no matter how slight. 

       I did not make it clear enough, there is no spiritual building form, a house with several flooring layouts is a better image. mh

       1455 hours. I have in mind a house several stories high. 

       I am clarifying, Mr. Orndorff -- several flooring layouts, no connections needed; no stairs, no hallways, no doors or windows, etc. 

       1459 hours. What about a filler-like stage, particularly one similar to one used in "Our Town" by Thornton Wilder?

Our Town

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   

Our Town is a 1938 metatheatrical three-act play by American playwright Thornton Wilder. It tells the story of the fictional American small town of Grover's Corners between 1901 and 1913 through the everyday lives of its citizens. ... The play is performed without a set on a mostly bare stage. 

It tells the story of the fictional American small town of Grover's Cornersa between 1901 and 1913 through the everyday lives of its citizens.

Throughout, Wilder uses metatheatrical devices, setting the play in the actual theatre where it is being performed. The main character is the stage manager of the theatre who directly addresses the audience, brings in guest lecturers, fields questions from the audience, and fills in playing some of the roles. The play is performed without a set on a mostly bare stage. With a few exceptions, the actors mime actions without the use of props.

       Yes, one could use the live stage to create such a device and/ or to utilize a series of a holographic scenes upon a stage set. - Amorella

** **

Holographic display. A holographic display is a type of display that utilizes light diffraction to create a virtual three-dimensional image of an object.

       1620 hours. I had to let the above sink in. I am still grappling with the concept. I need more information for a visual image. I also need a break. 

       Post. - Amorella

       You need more information to gain an overview. I am observing how you are mentally grasping this. One of the real human difficulties is attempting to imagine an object with no combinations of seemingly straight and/or curved lines. - mh

     

193. Notes - clarity / self description / Churnings

193. 21 August 2019

       Mid-morning. You are at the Lewis Center Barber Shop lot waiting for your ten o'clock appointment. Carol is home mowing the yard where it needs it. - Amorella

       0945 hours. Life as it is. I can't remember exactly when I had my hair cut and beard trimmed but I think it was in June before our Florida trip. Anyway, I look like a mountain man, at least from the neck up. Well, I assume this is how others see me. Otherwise, I am a big old fat fellow with bad arthritis, especially in the knees and it shows with how I stand and walk. I naturally smile at people though and in the grocery sometimes people say hello or smile back. That's my assessment of how people see me. (0951)

       Carol said your hair looks better. She had taken a break and began again to finish up then shower because you have a one-fifteen lunch with Kim between her work teleconferencing. - Amorella

       1105 hours. I had a good time at the barber shop -- lots of jokes and stories -- very much an old fashion barber shop from my perspective. They have redone the inside; it looks clean and sharp with just the right number of old pictures on the wall -- very classy with four chairs. The barbers are Chance, the one I usually go to, Marion and Bentley. A new one has been hired part time and she'll be full time in October. She graduated in the same barber class that Chance and Marion did. I didn't catch her name. 

       You are feeling like you shouldn't have spent time writing about the barber shop. Part of doing this goes back to the Encounters in Mind blog where you dropped in things because you were afraid you'll develop Alzheimer's like your grandfather and hope that if you do you can reread your blogs to getter a better feel as to who you were. That is your real intent and thus permissible in this classroom. - mh

       1120 hours. You are providing a blessing, Ms. Havisham, because I tend to overthink after writing and I wonder what my real intent was. 

       Ms Havisham understands, orndorff. I'll let her deal with that personal issue. You do tend to both overthink and over imagine. Clarity is important. Post. - Amorella

       Carol finished mowing the yard and is taking a shower before having a quick 'birthday' lunch with Kim at Panera across from Kroger Marketplace on US 23 at one-twenty-five. - Amorella

       Your earlier self-description appears sound as to how people might see you in public. Old age has settled in physically and with acceptance on your part. Mentally though you are more youthful and energetic as your writings show. Your demeanor is a bit more somber though and you can be short with people and show more than an edge of old man grumpiness from time to time. - mh

       1202 hours. I can't really add much more than -- what you see is what you get. I show my attitude of the moment evidently because people who know me (family and friends) can tell when I'm in a mood and/or am unhappy about something, usually because I didn't get my way. Honesty has a way of showing itself. Sometimes I'm not very polite and stand out as rather arrogant.

       That's pretty much it, orndorff. Glad you brought the attitude and impoliteness up. Post. - Amorella

        1214 hours. I'm not all that happy about this self evaluation stuff. 

         Do tell. - Amorella

         You had a good lunch with Kim and are presently less than a mile away at the base of Slate Hollow Park. Carol is reading on in theThe House of Secrets. - Amorella

       1437 hours. Once we leave Carol is driving for a change -- we have several errands. 

       Back to the Churnings, Mr. Orndorff. Your imagination veers towards Yin/Yang. -mh

Yin and yang

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Chinese philosophy, yin and yang, (yīnyáng, literally: "dark-bright", "negative-positive") is a concept of dualism in ancient Chinese philosophy, describing how seemingly opposite or contrary forces may actually be complementary, interconnected, and interdependent in the natural world, and how they may give rise to each other as they interrelate to one another.

In Chinese cosmology, the universe creates itself out of a primary chaos of material energy, organized into the cycles of Yin and Yang and formed into objects and lives. Yin is the receptive and Yang the active principle, seen in all forms of change and difference such as the annual cycle (winter and summer), the landscape (north-facing shade and south-facing brightness), sexual coupling (female and male), the formation of both men and women as characters, and sociopolitical history (disorder and order). 

There are various dynamics in Chinese cosmology. In the cosmology pertaining to Yin and Yang, the material energy, which this universe has created itself out of, is also referred to as qi. It is believed that the organization of qi in this cosmology of Yin and Yang has formed many things. Included among these forms are humans. 

Many natural dualities (such as light and dark, fire and water, expanding and contracting) are thought of as physical manifestations of the duality symbolized by yin and yang. This duality lies at the origins of many branches of classical Chinese science and philosophy, as well as being a primary guideline of traditional Chinese medicine, and a central principle of different forms of Chinese martial arts and exercise, such as baguazhang, taijiquan (t'ai chi), and qigong (Chi Kung), as well as appearing in the pages of the I Ching.

The notion of a duality can be found in many areas, such as Communities of Practice. The term "dualistic-monism" or dialectical monism has been coined in an attempt to express this fruitful paradox of simultaneous unity and duality. Yin and yang can be thought of as complementary (rather than opposing) forces that interact to form a dynamic system in which the whole is greater than the assembled parts. 

According to this philosophy, everything has both yin and yang aspects (for instance, shadow cannot exist without light). Either of the two major aspects may manifest more strongly in a particular object, depending on the criterion of the observation. 

The yin yang (i.e. taijitu symbol) shows a balance between two opposites with a portion of the opposite element in each section.

In Taoist metaphysics, distinctions between good and bad, along with other dichotomous moral judgments, are perceptual, not real; so, the duality of yin and yang is an indivisible whole. 

In the ethics of Confucianism on the other hand, most notably in the philosophy of Dong Zhongshu (c. 2nd century BC), a moral dimension is attached to the idea of yin and yang.

       You are at Hallmark picking up a card for Kim's Fortieth Birthday, Friday. - Amorella

       1553 hours. Kim is the best that ever happened between Carol and myself. Carol is the best that ever happened to me. 

       Kind words from a rather grouchy old man. - mh

       1557 hours. I don't like to flirt around with the truth very often -- it makes me appear vulnerable and therefore susceptible.

       Back to Yin and Yang. Churnings existed before the human spirit world. - mh

       1721 hours. Were the Churnings before the Creation of Physics and Matter as we understand it?

       In a word, yes. - Amorella

       1725 hours. I'm glad this whole blog is really a string of an extended hypothetical thought problem.

       Drop 'Churnings' into a new Category of Metaphysics. - Amorella

       This is further than I ever expected to go. 

       Any of this is deeper than you intended to go. - mh

       I am using the Biblical phrase: "In the Beginning was the Word" as a metaphor because it is a contextual phrase you can relate to as a former teacher of English, i.e. logic, grammar, nouns and verbs, sentences and so on. - Amorella

       

       2136 hours. And, in such a metaphorical context as this, before the Word is the Spirit. 

       Done in the right spirit, such a sentence is plausible, certainly so in a story of how it is with spiritual souls working with the humanity within humankind. - Amorella

       2207 hours. Continuing then, 'Churnings existed before the Creation of the physical universe.

       But, the Churnings did not exist before Spiritual Consciousness. mh

       2211 hours. Ms. Havisham, are the Churnings relevant to our human concepts of nothing, space and time? 

       Nothing, Space and Time are human concepts. This is something the spiritual entities cannot answer. - Amorella

       I suggest that the Churnings relate only to the Spirit World and not even directly to us Souls that comfort and protect the spiritual heartsanminds of our charges. I have long considered that the Churnings allow a Place for Souls to exist, either empty or full, but I do not know, nor do I need to know. Needing to know appears to be a basic human trait even in the field of metaphysics. - mh

       2231 hours. I have to agree, Ms Havisham. I don't know much about what it is to be human, so for me, I have to make it up. I, an Agnostic, need to know that much. Funny, huh?

       Post. Orndorff. - Amorella

       You are not being very polite, Mr. Orndorff. - mh

       2235 hours. You are right, Ms Havisham. I am not. I am sorry. I do not know why I think such things when I know better.

       You do so because you are an Agnostic. Being cynical and doubtful are part of who you are. I accept it and you need to do the same for your own peace of mind. - Amorella

192. Notes - self-knowledge

192. 20 August 2019

        You are watching a beautiful orange Halloween-like sunset out your bedroom window from your black chair. Spooky is watching also. - Amorella

       2048 hours. Very funny, Amorella. It is true though - very much Halloween-like, and it would be if the temperature were lower; it is still 80 degrees according to my watch. In October it would be about 40 degrees cooler this time of day according to "Hey, Google".  The Living have a sense of 'spooky' things from time to time. Ms Havisham, how do you deal with this sort of event when the spiritual heartanmind feel or sense a spooky event - the kind that sends shivers up the spine? For instance, in my life I have had several incidences where I felt a presence in the room with me, seemingly another spirit. I recorded such events from time to time in the Encounters in Mind blog.

       

       You erased Ms Havisham's response because she did not properly respond to your question. The reason she did not respond properly is because an unconscious human 'intent' on your part led the question. The problem arose because, without intent, I suggested the Halloween-like sunset, the 'black' in chair further defined Halloween as did the name "Spooky" the black cat with yellow eyes. Ms Havisham first acknowledged that you have witnessed several 'spooky' event throughout your life. She wondered on the underlying intent of the question and her response because she sensed a shift of your thought to your memories of said events. Memories may not have full context. This is what it is to be human - not enough factual data available in the subjective realm of self-knowledge. - Amorella

       2137 hours. Ms Havisham, how do you deal with this problem of lack of factual memory available in the subjective realm of one's inner self knowledge?

       I wait patiently while the spiritual heartanmind resolves the problem of lack of factual memory when one is self-reflecting on herorhis life. Context is the problem because conscious living continues after every event or relationship until physical death. Context moves on with the moment immediate events do not, they become past events, past events are less real than present but the past reality affects the present because it was once real. This is never-ending throughout life. Life is a conditional reality which is not the same thing as a factual reality. - mh

       2152 hours. Are you saying human beings are a conditional reality?

       Subjectively, in self-reflection, yes. This is the spiritual side, the self-reflecting side. Externally, it is how one relates with others that becomes one's spiritual mirror, a kind of empathy in reverse. - mh

       Enough for tonight, orndorff. Post. - Amorella

       2220 hours. So, it is not how one sees himself it is how others see him?

       It is after one self-reflects and empathizes with how others see oneself that one can glean on who sheorhe is. That is this soul's suggestion for yourself, Mr. Orndorff. - mh

191. Notes - This is my first day of school.

191. 18/19 August 2019

       Mid-evening. You have spent some time reading the Scapple Manual and are finding it too difficult to use simply. Drop it. - Amorella

       2220 hours. Quite embarrassing. Old dog and new tricks syndrome. 

       You tried several more apps only to find similar problems. Perhaps we could use inventive outlining? - Amorella

19 August 2019

       You awoke a little before five with the word, "[sentence]diagramming" in your head the returned to sleep. You awoke again a little before seven with the words "diagramming Soul" before having breakfast and reading the paper with "Morning Joe" in the background. - Amorella

       0756 hours. Sentence diagramming is a bit like "Mind Mapping" plus it digs into the heart of language and the communication of thought. Diagramming Soul is, in my mind, allowing me to better understand 'Soul Thought' which I assume is on a deeper level than human thought and I might learn subtle differences from it to use in English for better translating on my part, although I recognize this is probably not the case sense Amorella is already doing the translating from Soul to English. I just like learning stuff even if it is entirely experimental thinking/writing on my part. 

       Look for a sentence diagramming app. - Amorella

       Mr. Orndorff, you like to 'shovel' long before finding a shovel to dig with. - mh

       0814 hours. Ms Havisham, you sound like one the smartest persons who was ever in my classroom. The only reaction I would have had is to stand up front and laugh at myself out loud and throw my hands in the air with knowing humor and with, "Touché" in acknowledgement.

       Post. - Amorella

      Update the posts, orndorff. You are ready. - Amorella

       0824 hours. (with a sheepish smile) You are right. I am, thanks to Ms Havisham's 'dig'.

        You don't seem to be having any luck with the mind mapping and diagramming. Since I'm the one you want to learn to communicate better with, then perhaps I should be the one you should be talking to. I don't need mind mapping or diagramming, thank you very much. I can fend for myself when it comes to communication with 'my' present heartanmind. - mh

       You still need a translator, Ms Havisham. - Amorella

       Yes, of course, Amorella. Sorry. - mh

       1040 hours. It's Amorella's classroom, being polite and respectful are her rules.

       Being mindful is a good addition, orndorff. - Amorella

       1044 hours. Yes Ma'am, thank you. 

       You have errands to run. Later. - Amorella

       You are waiting for Carol outside Hallmark on Polaris, and you are getting comfortable with the classroom setting since you worked in one for thirty-seven years and more. - Amorella

       1122 hours. I am ever thankful for this, Amorella. 

       I know how thankful you are young man -- it is in the wordless category so superlatives are really not necessary. - Amorella

       1155 hours. My heart is suddenly filled with the concept that for me my classroom settings were filled with very special students, my students (in those times). They have all moved on, as have all of us, but I treasure those times -- I never knew which I loved more, my subject area or my students --I just now realize I love both the same. You can't have one without the other. 

       Wipe those warm tears, Mr. Orndorff. We all have more moving on to do. - Ms Havisham

       1203 hours. I am alone in the house presently, Carol is out working in the yard. I still feel embarrassed for shedding tears. 

       No one is alone, orndorff, no matter what they think or feel. Let's take a break. - Amorella       

       Afternoon. You are in the shade facing south at Shale Hollow Park looking at a shale hill surrounded and covered with taller trees with various sized girth. You each had a Kroger's apple spiced cookie for a snack and water with ice. Carol is on Chapter Sixty-One of The House of Secrets. Here's where we were, but edited.

** **

       `You are catching onto the 'rabbit hole'. The process of reading is deconstructed to series of seemingly unordered conditions. These unordered conditionals (Hot, Wet, Cold and Dry) are the roots, as it were, of each of the four Qualities: Fire, Air, Water and Earth.  - Amorella

       I assume for clarification that there is an ultimate Hot and an ultimate Dry.Suppose we have a pipe that has the water and air bubbles mixed, the condition of the water may be warm, neither too hot nor too cold for human spiritual comfort. If it were too hot, the water might boil the air out. If it were too cold the water would be frozen with air bubbles contained within the spiritual-like ice. 

       This concept can work here. - Amorella

From Note 190.

       

** **

       There is no pipe. This is the Medium in the human oriented Spirit World. The Medium contains the spiritual Qualities: Fire, Air, Water and Earth; and their separate Conditionals: Hot, Wet, Cold and Dry. The spiritual weather-like conditions are seemingly arbitrary and at times seemingly impassioned, but when the winds whisper quietly, the spirits can steer about. Those human or human-like held souls hear an inner spirit or two from time to time through me, a soul. These sounds picked up by such spirits are accidental and seemingly arbitrary; whisperings both with and without reasoning, as if from the Inner Churnings themselves. Humans would call this seemingly Whole Kernel, Chaos, but Souls know better. Whisperings can be full of a chattering of letter-like sounds -- and once in a while -- a word or two is picked up from a heartanmind protected within the metaphysical shell of a soul such as I. The spiritual human heartanmind inevitably begins to wonder. -mh

       Enough for now. Any questions, orndorff? - Amorella

       1445 hours. Ms. Havisham is writing above on an 8th Grade reading level according to Flesch-Kincaid and with a Flesch reading ease level of 59.5. Ms Havisham, do you know any more about the Churnings and other spiritual environs within the Churnings?

       Not at this time, Mr. Orndorff. This is a story for you not for me, I am the story teller here. - mh

       1458 hours. Again, a sly reference to the "Rabbit Hole".

       See this as you wish it were, orndorff. Later. Post when applicable. - Amorella

       You had supper at BiBiBop. You arrived in time to get a table (your main concern almost always at BiBiBop). -- As for Fate and Free Will, let the two play themselves out. You personally don't really want to know. If Fate wins out then what then of the fiction, Free Will? If Free Will wins out then what then of the fiction, Fate? I remember once, I said to you, "Careful what you wish for?" Now, how does that play into the arms of Fate? And, how does that also play into the hands of Free Will? - Amorella

       1802 hours. For now, I'll stick with irony and humor being the Forces behind the Curtain over either Fate or Free Will. 

       Good choice on using the lower case. Sometimes you are wiser than your young years, other times not so much as a Fool. - Amorella

       1812 hours. I think I'm done for the day, at least for a few hours. This project is really interesting. Today was just like a good day at school from my perspective. I like it very much so far.

       Good. Post. - Amorella

       Bye for now, Mr. Orndorff. Learning is always fun and/or rewarding from my perspective too. mh

       

       1820 hours. I would like to learn more about your perspective also, Ms Havisham. In my fictional stories I've 'talked' with angels and human-like aliens of very small dimension in size but not in supposed intellect. You are easier to talk to because you know me better, and you comfort and protect me deep down; or rather, I know that you have protected me and I feel you are protective of me now. You are an interesting spiritual Being, and strangely so; you are not human, yet, in here, in this blog, I am not human without you.  (1832)

       2141 hours. Today begins a new chapter from my perspective because I feel I attended my first day in a new classroom. This classroom, which is open to the public, is within. This classroom is in all of us because we are human beings with spiritual heartsansoulsanminds. Beyond the chemistry, biology and physics, we have spiritual heartsansoulsanminds; our individual human spirits. I am sharing mine through my heartansoulanmind and my body, my brain, my imagination, and especially my fingertips. This is not typical experimental writing for me. This is who I am, a student of the question: what it is to be a human being. - rho

     I, the Amorella, concur. I am his Teacher and he is my student.
