gav: to be blunt - to NOT believe in something bigger than yourself is at best being disingenuous, and at worst being one mega-hubristic fucker.
the earth is bigger than me - it is a self-regulating system. this means it is aware - you cannot self-regulate without awareness of the self that is being regulated... the earth - gaia - is an intelligent organism, in which i am an integrated 'cell'... Andre: Why call the earth 'intelligent'? This suggests that its 'source' Dynamic Quality and its static part SQ, is intelligent and it takes only one step to then 'will' a 'designer' or a 'holder' of this intelligence, responsible for this. Theists call this designer/ holder 'God' and the merry-go- round continues. 'WHAT?' the author asked. I'll repeat, he said. Did God tell you that Miss Lila M. Blewittt of Rochester, New York, with whom you stumbled across my deck at two this morning, has QUALITY? 'What God? FORGET God. Do you PERSONALLY think Miss Lila M. Blewitt is a Woman of Quality? Yes. (LILA, p80) The designation 'God' is avoided by the MoQ because of its deep rooted religious connotations. In fact, the MoQ is opposed to such static connotations. My suggestion is that 'intelligence' bears connotations that are equally unhelpful as far as this issue is concerned and is therefore best avoided. Why not stick to DQ/SQ? Perhaps I am a 'mega- hubristic fucker' then? Personally I feel quite humbled by this designation.
