Gentlemen, if I may interject -- your overall concept is not in dispute. We
are all in agreement that the experience of existence is "polarized",
"dualistic", and intellectually differentiated. We also agree that "true"
reality is "unitary", "whole" and non-relative.
[Krimel]
Except that I do not agree that there is a "true" reality. Nor do I agree
that reality is unitary or whole. These seem more like illusions that we
manufacture.
[Ham]
As I've suggested before, a simple re-definition of your (MoQ's) terms would
eliminate this "apparent" dilemma and the confusion that it has caused.
EXPERIENCE -- Conscious (intellectual) awareness of existence as a
system of differentiated objects.
[Krimel]
Except that much of our experience is not the least bit conscious or subject
to our awareness. Our immune systems learn and remember pathogens via
experience. Our immune systems can even be classically conditioned.
We experience hunger, often without consciousness. We have procedural
memories that allow us to engage in complex activities like driving without
any conscious awareness at all.
SENSIBILITY -- Pre-intellectual awareness of Value (i.e., "Quality") as
a holistic (essential) reality.
[Krimel]
As I have suggested many times most of what we do is pre-intellectual. It is
non-conscious as opposed to the Freudian "unconsciousness". Sensation is a
set of function you should consider more carefully. They are fragmented
modalities which we integrate into the illusion of a whole.
Values at their root are the product of evolution. We Value that which
promotes our growth, continuance and reproduction.
[Ham]
Try this nomenclature. It works! And it will resolve your dispute.
[Krimel]
I tried it. Didn't much care for it.
