It is my opinion that it is unwise to create a Masonic system based on science and the manipulative methods of logic.
A world ruled by the frontal or prefrontal cortex, which is governed by survival, would indeed be a step backwards. This is not the expression of Quality. Quality is sensed by parts of our brain and body not associated with the frontal cortex. The rational and logical subset of our existence does everything to block Quality out. It creates square structures that are so simple that they detract from the rest of the Quality world. It is fine to use the intellect for certain things, but to place it above all else does not serve the purpose of Quality. We can consider the intellectual level to exist, but to create a church based on it would only be a dead end in an otherwise fruitful evolution of man. Beware of false prophecies. The intellect is a controlling instrument, it serves to relegate all else. We are not a bunch of frontal cortexes walking around, we are much more. IMO, of course. Mark [Mark] So what you are saying is that a system based on science is has higher morality than a religion based on moral principles. Either you are delusional and should get help.... [Arlo] In the MOQ, intellectual patterns are morally superior to social patterns. I agree with Pirsig. [Mark] or you are using the word moral in an entirely new way. [Arlo] I am simply using it as Pirsig uses it in his metaphysics. [Mark] How about if you use the word "Chipmunk", that way it will not be confusing. [Arlo] How is it confusing you, since you claim to have read Pirsig?
