Year in, year out the seasons repeat this predictable dance. Is this dynamic or static? I'd call that static. Now when an asteroid hits the earth, and changes all the patterns, that's what I'd call dynamic. Dynamic doesn't mean simply change, as dave points out, everything everywhere is a constant state of flux and change. But dynamic means something different than the expected. It's an intellectual definition of that which falls outside the boundaries of intellectual foresight and control. It all depends upon which frame of reference you choose. Like Quantum Mechanics, Krimel. You believe in QM, don't you? What are you if you don't believe in QM, some kind of Nazi? > > > dmb says: > > That's about right but it's also true that the romantic style is a style of > thought.

The mythos ties in to our emotional romantic sensibility and the logos with our analytic and intellectual side of experience. I certainly agree that DQ and romantic quality are not the same. The normal definition of intellect, I see as more on that classic/logos side of human experience, which is why I don't like the label of "intellect" for the 4th level of being. But other than that semantic quibble of the connotations of intellect, I agree with dave. Which is a relief; I don't have to spend excessive time making my own point on this to Krimel. I can just point here and go, "yeah." dmb: Thanks. This conversation seems for real. I sincerely appreciate that. > > Everybody appreciates real conversation. Its a quality experience.
