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

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
