It is in the nature of the mind to model what comes in, against what has come before, and to reflect what it sees from its own point of view in the universe at any time.
We express what we flow through, in the terms and language of our backgrounds and our societies and these are all more or less static, built up over time. But the static has great power to an individual, it is protection and bulwark, just as it guides and shapes, ever so more so the younger one is. The static is the firm place, the fulcrum against which to put Archimedes lever for the life and work of intellect that develops. It is in the nature of intellectual evolution that we wrestle constantly with better ways of perceiving, and the MOQ is just such. Of an age we struggle too hard to escape the static instead of simply using it as 'ground' and the rest of our struggle is between what is "out there" and what is artifact of mind. and as always Everything IS easier said than known (or done)... At some point we all know that we should be dancing in the dynamic. Just don't forget the floor. poetically yours in analogy--thanks--mel ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Peterson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, November 20, 2008 4:12 AM Subject: Re: [MD] Trance state > Hi Ian, > > > > > Reality is the MoQ. > > If you are an empiricist, then reality is experience.
