the ternal

1. Here is action. Action exists. Action is here. Action unfolds. Here.

2. Action is internal and external. We call the internal action thought. We call the external action the world.

3. The internal and the external are the same ternal. The internal and the external are eternal.

4. We make order of the action through story. Story orders the chaos of action. We live in story land.

5. Stories are neither true nor false. Stories are real.

6. Stories have juice: energy, fascination, believability.

7. The stories with the most juice adopt us. We become those stories and act out our part.

8. This action of our act is both internal and external. They are the same ternal.

  1. Hmmmm.... this one sets much into motion for me. I can tell it is going to pop up a number of times during my day and reveal itself to me in today's stories. I love watching the word unfold.

  2. The juice of the stories is emotion. Emotion is more primal than thought, it is the trigger for thought. Once thought is triggered, emotion and thought become a continuous feedback loop, one spurring the other on. - Lynn Cornish

    1. "The juice of the stories is emotion."

      Many different types of stories; many different types of juice.

      "Emotion is more primal than thought, it is the trigger for thought."

      Emotion is *a* trigger for thought. Other triggers include thought, intuition, pure silence (the ineffable rests between a story's words), sensation, etc.

      "Once thought is triggered, emotion and thought become a continuous feedback loop, one spurring the other on."

      Sometimes. At other times, emotion is the consuming fire to thought's extinguishing water.
