This passing of Dorothy has gotten to me on a whole new level I've never experienced before. Of course I've "known" people who've died but this one is different by far since she was so close for 30 years in work and leisure, daily, through all our gigs, piano stories, students, moves, cars, dental appointments, and more. This is way way weird.

So there was a board game a few years ago, maybe decades ago, called Where in the World is Carmen San Diego in which players look for that person in a collage of people on a board. Since reading Doug Matzke in 2022 and Edward L. Russell's "Design for Destiny" and "Prospects for Eternity", I've become convinved that the MIND is NOT in the BRAIN... that DUALISM is true... that the brain is an antenna for quantum projections and that we are telepresent and exist in quantum space, as all thoughts do, according the DEEP REALITY by Matzke.

Of course scientists don't accept this but Matzke and Russell have built a bridge between science and religion using a couple of approaches, Matzke using quantum physics and Russell using basic reasoning about the nature of NATURE, Harold S. Burr's work, Penfield's work and others.

There's more to our lives than the REDUCTIONISTS and MATERIALISTS believe. Even Ettinger said that in the future, mind will become disincarnate- in Chapt. 4, last page, of Man Into Superman. He then quickly dismissed his own speculation calling it likely hogwash but I'm going to stick the noses of cryonicists into Ettinger's HOGWASH and have them consider the FACT that we have a universe based on much smaller scales than 10*-9 where nanotech was supposed to rescue us from the cryostat. I would even point to Feynman who said there's plenty of room at the bottom, but I'm expanding on Feynman because Feynman didn't go far enough. He was thinking 10*-9 but my theory based on Matzke, and Russel goes to 10*-42

So as I look at Dorothy waving to me in a picture above her CREMATED HUMAN REMAINS with the bracelet attacked to the top of the box with a rubber band, the bracelet I gave her for her last Christmas 2024, the only thing she valued among several gifts... that morning... due to having suffered another apparent mini stroke, but still lucid enough to value this bracelet with a smil and immediately put it on her left wrist... I can't help but think, today, WHERE IN THE WORLD IS DOROTHY MOTTO?

Because where SHE is is where we ALL go. But in THIS particular case, I'm PARTICULARLY interested in where SHE is because or our common shared MINDS for 30 years. Unbelievably, 30 years.

This is a mind, Dorothy's that is, that MEMORIZED many HOURS of music, that I FACILITATED-- ie. made happen-- in front of audiences for an EXTENDED CAREER from 60 to 85. Now that I think on it more, the SHARED MINDS we had-- in MUSIC and PERFORMANCE - and TEACHING-- MUST have had a QUANTUM DIMENSION to it... like MIND READING. That must be why this hits me PARTICULARLY hard. A big CHUNK of my own MIND--- has ceased to exist. I'm suddenly half-the-mind-I used to be.

I'm a half wit.

And I can feel that when I go out and do a gig now. She's not there. The power of the two of us was more than twice that of one. It was an amplified mind of 10X one. Because we played off one another and THAT is what provided the ENTERTAINMENT for the audiences and even the students and parents we taught and not to mention the sales we closed.

It's quite something to reflect on this in light of quantum reality, what I regard as the IMMORTAL MIND, and PERSONALITY of Dorothy whose SOUL was upgraded, challanged, and trained to a higher order while here on Earth and with me. I'm happy to have been her SOUL PARTNER.

In a lucid moment before she completely lost her mental cohension, she looked at me and whispered loud... REMEMBER, REMEMBER, REMEMBER, REMEMBER... just like that four times. I'll never forget it. I wonder what she was seeing. At this time she would periodically stare, non-blinking, out into space, her expression in AWE... looking through me. I'm now sure it was an NDE. Near Death Experience. Her left arm kept rising and I thought it was muscular contraction of some kind and did not like to see it but others on youtube involved in dying and hospice suggested they SEE the next dimension, they're reaching for their pets and other relatives. I believe that.

Where in the world is Dorothy Motto? I think as Matzke says... she's in the QUANTUM REALM, in EXISTENCE, not asleep like Jehovah Witnesses say... not in LIMBO or HEAVEN or HELL like Catholics say... but in QUANTUM INFORMATION SPACE as in INTEGRATED DOROTHY SOUL... like Edward W. Russel says.
