The Interactions of the Ring-Bearers

[Ivriniel]

I've always enjoyed re-reading, and it's a story with a journey of which part is ageing and re-reading.

This thread bears relationships to the other current thread about the Three.

I've been wondering about Osanwe and Ringlore, as I posted. I suspect that Sauronic plotting as Annatar included some perverted means of matching the advantage Elves have had in one way, over Sauron and Morgoth, in the Osanwe mentation.

Sauron was a jealous, possessive, sadistic being with dreams of unending domination. It must have irked him to be 'shut out' of telepathy, by a 'lowly' Elf. It states in the Osanwe materials that any Elf could shut out a Vala (have I interpreted that right). Prose reads that it is *fear* that elicits closure of one to another, and that a soul cannot be forced to rescind their foreclosure to commune. No matter the might of the other bearing down upon one.

Does anyone have any thoughts about this?
