Thank you Ron. All this defining of what
intellect is, pure experience, and not pure
experience, etc... I mean where is this taking us. I
guess some people, including myself, on certain days
are trying to clarify for themselves what this dynamic
experience is. Therefore, people are trying to get a
handle on 'things', and understand. It's the
absolutism, for instance, Ham's thesis is absolutely a
philosophic notion, but the moq is not or Bo's
absolutism that intellect HAS to be S/O. I said at
one point in time that the intellect is non-S/O, but
what do I know? I include S/O as an intellectual
pattern, and non-S/O is also an intellectual pattern.
I'm concentrating on these leaves falling now, and
this mindful pattern is intellectual to me, as well as
organic, and such. Dmb looks for certainty and some
others like uncertainty, but what's this experience of
intellectualizing like anyways. It's about the
hang-ups and the withdraw from dynamic experiences
that bogs us down anyways.
Today, at moments, I've got my mind on this apple
pie my wife made, and that's the only reality I'm
aware of. Intellect is more dynamic than anything
that I can absolutely define, but I admit it's fun and
helpful to get a handle on this aspect of our life
from time to time; yet we still need to 'just do it'
aka Jordan style.
thanks.
