Hey Happy People. I Found this this morning, going through old MOQ stuff, from an early Lila Squad period. I'd like to ask all of you, but particularly those of you who have been at this from the beginning if there is anything in this that you no longer agree with?
1. Quality. Quality is reality. Quality is the ethical principle of the good. Thus reality is a moral order. Quality, like reality, is known to us as awareness. As such, it is impossible to define. 2. Morality. Morality is a synonym for Quality. Thus reality is a moral order. A phenomenon is considered moral, or high Quality, to the extent that it advances freedom. 3. Value. Value is a synonym for Quality. Value encompasses what are usually known as causation and substance. Value is understood through the sense of value. 4. Dynamic Quality and static quality. There are many ways to divide Quality but the best way is into patterns of Dynamic and static value or experience. Dynamic Quality is pure experience; static quality is filtered experience. Dynamic Quality creates the world; static quality preserves it. Dynamic Quality is more aesthetic than static quality. Neither Dynamic nor static quality can survive without the other. 5. Static levels. Quality became manifest in our world by an evolutionary sequence of Dynamic Quality Events. Left in the wake of these events were four static levels of evolution -- inorganic, biological, social and intellectual. Each level is a static pattern of Quality, organized and governed by its own moral laws -- the laws of physics, biology, culture and reason respectively. 6. Static awareness. Each higher level evolved from the lower level but has become a discrete level. From the point of view of any level it is only possible to evaluate phenomena at that level. 7. Static dominance. Because each lower level is unable to evaluate the other levels, it considers itself to be the most moral and strives to dominate the others. 8. Static morality. The levels at a higher stage of evolution are more moral than levels below. Intellectual patterns take moral precedence over social patterns, social patterns over biological and biological patterns over inorganic. 9. Dependency. Higher qualities depend on lower qualities for survival. Thus a higher quality can only dominate a lower one in so far as it does not endanger its stability. 10. Evolution. The universe is evolving away from low quality and towards high quality. 11. Truth.Truth is an intellectual value pattern. There is no single truth, only high quality and low quality truths. 12. Self. The self is undivided Quality, encompassing both Dynamic and static patterns. As with Quality, the self is both one and many. ------ Regards Chris Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
