The activity of intellection is dynamic within the individual and as witnessed by the exchanges realized within this (medium of multiple abstractions that connects us all from around the world) forum. The activity of intellection is also carried out between us in collaboration.
The past fruits of this quality-of-activity exists both in the books, tapes, disks, 'collected physical sets'; and in the theories, patterns, general knowledge, 'collected memory', as the static accretion of intellect that is accumulated beyond the individual and not generally subject to extinction with the loss of any single individual. So, like with the other levels, what is 'past' is more Static and what is 'present' to: change, reactivity, motion, creativity...entropy...is where the more Dynamic finds expression. Existence in the MoQ seems to have about it a sense that has an allegory in the martial arts. Before a student can be effective the lesson of proper alignment needs to be understood. (at first statically and later dynamically) Exercises and motion aim to show that the ankle must support the knee, which must support the hip, which must support the spine in alignment, which must support the shoulder, elbow, wrist etc. Any movement or action without this results in ineffectual or self-damaging result. At first, to the student this sounds very stiff and mechanical, but the lesson, once learned, practiced and sufficiently mastered, results in motion that is akin to flight or dance. Many of us have had surgery, dislocations, broken bones and impressive bruising, when we lost track of alignment. So, too, in MoQ terms the dynamic "alignment" of physical in support of biological, in support of social, in support of intellectual can gain a range of dynamic existence. Okay, as with everything, easier said than done, but I know the days when it happens; I spent effortless hours writing, or working at what I have to accomplish. thanks--mel ----- Original Message ----- From: "Arlo Bensinger" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, December 15, 2008 8:46 AM Subject: Re: [MD] The SOM/MOQ discrepancy. > [Platt] > The individual is intimately involved with the intellectual level.
