It is devoid of those morals, and perhaps it's because Cormac is emulating the father figure we all have been affected by - live by the moral code I cannot live by - the father is inherently hypocritical, due to the disconnect between body/spirit and society, and maybe he's portraying this unconsciously but it is definitely something to think about as we move forward into Cormac and other authors. This experience is universal and permeates everything we do.

@@WriteConscious spirit is not distinguishable from mind in the German language Given the absence of internal monologue and psychology in most of his novels, is there also some play on the theme of the absence or negation of the spirit in his novels? Certainly pattern changes in the final three novels. The Road is Cormac accepting a belief in the spirit, proved by the transference of the fathers martyred spirit. This allows him to do Stella Maris- a dialogue with a psychologist

I sound like a gamma male. That's why McCarthy didn't want to talk about this stuff. 😂

When you read and picture scenes in your head, what are those scenes made of?

@@zachbuschman3105 The absolute substance? All interactions in nature involve an exchange of timeless photons, absorbed or emitted. Just like water can navigate a maze through the principle of least action, light underpins all computations, maybe even hypercomputation. Light is omnipotent, omnipresent. It doesn't have to think or remember anything, but no one can think and remember without generating heat, which is a form of light.

So when we picture a story in our head as we read, don’t we in a sense make it real? Its universe has light, heat, and photons, it’s made of something ,

@@zachbuschman3105 I agree. I avoided using terms like imaginary numbers in my original post and consciousness in my reply to you. I anticipated people thinking, "You're not even wrong." Which is a refrain Pauli coined. Even though he wrote the book on synchronicity and had the same mystical experience as the late mystic Neville Goddard. Neither were aware of each other, but in visions, they both were taught to play a keyboard whose chords were composed of the feelings cultivated from the major events of their lives. Like Kara's coordinates from Battlestar Galactica. 😆 Whenever an artist wants to create something new, they have to draw upon their own subjectivity. It's starting to become obvious to people like Wolfram and Masahiro Hotta that even entropy is subjective. We see the world we do because of the kind of observers we are. Because we evolved on the same planet, we assume teleporting energy would violate the second law of thermodynamics. But Masahiro Hotta had enough imagination to prove otherwise. After 15 years, people are finally accepting that all experimental evidence says he's right. 🤷‍♂️

Wesley G Morgan's "McCarthy's High School Years" introduces this. Then, follow-up articles ("Cormac McCarthy 1951" is one of them that goes pretty deep) go deeper into the school paper articles and interview people he knew back then. There are also some deep dives in books about this time with random, unique accounts. Funny you mentioned the sister's quote; I just remembered his dad was also the editor for the "Yale Law Review" during his time in high school. I also remembered his aspiration in high school was to become a "good shortstop and become filthy rich" which would have been a good thing to put into the video on Cormac making millions!

There will be stuff on here soon. I have a meditation for authors course coming that will include yoga to be able to get into full lotus for meditation

@@WriteConscious awesome thanks

Well, he is dead! And if no one advocates for good literature then we will be where we are right now with the state of education.

Says a dude whose name is "Alpha Daddy 69" 🤣

If anything it's the opposite.
