<snip> In fact, I think these narratives are extraordinarily important in defining what the hell we are talking about with the phrases "social patterns" and "intellectual patterns." Because if you can't tell a Darwinian story about how these things you've demarcated as subsisting were created, then you are in the dangerous territory of having created an entity like "consciousness" (which philosophers have had trouble in explaining just how that light switch gets turned on). <snip> Hi Matt and all, Imho ³Consciousness² is indefinable DQ. When I think of evolution I think of Gravity, Instinct, Consciousness as indefinable DQ evolution. In order to apply logic to a statement containing any of these words MoQ DQ/SQ¹s evolution applies as they seem to originate at different levels. I prefer to call the Social level, the first level in conscious evolution, the Emotional level. Consciousness, after the emotional level, evolves to a second level, the Intellectual level SOL. To understand the actions of a hero in evolutionary terms, Consciousness evolves after intellect to a higher Emotional level, and to a higher Intellectual level, which are available to all, but which require a heroic discipline for apprehension, e.g., Pirsig. This explanation is not original but my interpretation of the meaning of evolution in esoteric literature. Happy Holidays!
