SAVE SAVE SAVE SAVE SAVE SAVE SAVE SAVE SAME Crossroads -Dec. 24, 1984 -Page 5113 The concept of three' By Rev. Lee Truman I started out with one ... two ... poettarrarorin- coaroac. It is a real word, but I doribt that it is in your vocabulary. You are right when you guess that I have never pronounced it, so I would rather write about it than say it. To a tribe in the Amazon jungle, "poettarrarorin- coaroac" means the num- eral 3, no more, no less, just the concept of three. What is stranger than, this, the Yancos have no word' for any number be- yond three. After poettar- rarorincoaroac, there is only a word for "a bunch." Once they count to three, that ends it, and if three were spelled like that, in our language, I believe I would tend to concur in their judgment. Personally, I do not think it is really a word at all.' At least it cannot be a word as we think of words i3ecause then. numeral 3 seems to be 4 way of look- ing' at things. If anything goes beyond the three limit of the Yanco mind, it is just too much to handle mental- ly, and they prefer to end it right there. To put it another way, they do not think very big in Yanco. They shrug their shoulders and say, "Poet- tarrarorincoaroac." My contention is that in the Amazon jungle, and in many a household, poettar- rarorincoaroac is really an attitude of mind. It causes my mind hurt to think of people living in a world of "three" in an age of astronauts and mil- isecond infinity -minded computers. Somewhere in the past the forebears of the Yancos chose to do it in that way, and they like it that way. It saves an awful lot of thinking, curtails an awful lot of dreaming and takes a great deal less ef- fort to arrive at a conclu- sion. It would be nice to think that this curtailed kind of thinking is limited to the aboriginal native in the primeval forest of the Am- azon Basin. But how often I have met the seemingly ed- ucated, civilized people who found it much more comfortable to grunt out an unimaginative poettar- rarorincoaroac than to dream any dreams or think beyond their little self-im- posed limitations. The Yancos are living and ac- cepting the world that their forebears had given them, without thinking new thoughts and bumping into mental walls that had been handed to them, never wondering what was on the other side. A staggering amount of educated and civilized people have never dreamed or tried to think about any of the spiritual or mental big things. "Don't bother me with anything beyond the spirit- ual three, please." "Do not disturb mental tranquillity and peace of mind. I can't think of four, so leave me alone, etc. ..." A district manager told me a story of an astrono- mer who put down a cler- gyman by saying he had confined his religious faith to the very simple forms he had learned at his mother's knee. It pleased him a great dealto tell the pastor that his faith was summed up in: "Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray thee, Lord, my soul to keep ... etc." The pastor said, "Well, that certainly is my own attitude toward astronomy, which can be summed up in: "Twinkle, twinkle, little star. How I wonder what you are. ...'° People who have never read the Bible seriously to see what it says have many fascinating opinions con- cerning the Bible. Martin Luther, I am sure with his temper on edge, wrote with a sense of annoyance 'that many people who have never learned the Ten Commandments wish to in- struct him in religion. When people make a major financial investment back- ing their religious convic- tion, I am far quicker to listen than if they have a cheap opinion that has cost them little in time, talent or means. When they go be- yond the normal human limitations of where we re- ally do forgive an offense or a wrong done, I pay par- ticularly close attention. As for doing something to help the work of their own house of faith, such as sing, teach, call, serve, greet and in some way fill a responsi- ble place, for most people it lies way beyond the num- eral 3. One of the things Jesus consistently pushed was for people to go beyond where they thought possi- ble and to dream and work and reach out beyond the limits of themselves. He taught all of us to pray ... "Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven." How is that for an unlimited, impossi- ble idea? It may be that the numeral 3 is the material- ist's attitude toward 4 the world in which they live. This week, take time to look at the people about you and at yourself, and see how many are saying, "If it is past poettarraro- rincoaroac, Brother, forget it!" HEY KIDS!
