Ham (who has only a quarrel with Andre):
Proprietary sensibility and individual awareness are synonomous. The reason
I defined the "nature" of awareness as proprietary was to make the point
that
conscious awareness is unique to the individual. It is the Self, not the
universe
or an extracorporeal level, who is aware of (experiences) objects and
senses
their value
Andre, still quarreling:
Look Ham, I do not understand how you can say on the one hand that every-
thing is related (I call this due to the idea of co-dependent arising)
and then say:
except the knower...some sort of individual 'Self'.Where does the 'knower'
come from then? From outside these relationships?
The MoQ denies any existence of a self that is independent of inorganic,
organic,
social and intellectual patterns. 'There is no 'self' that contains
these patterns. These
patterns contain the self. This denial agrees with both religious
mysticism and
scientific knowledge. In Zen,there is reference to 'big self' and 'small
self'. Small
self is the patterns. Big self is Dynamic Quality.' (Annot.29, LC)
You are placing the individual, the 'self' the 'I' as the central
reality. And, as you know,
this runs counter to the MoQ.
