Hi Marsha, You and all human individuals are a separate category from animals, able to respond to the creative force of DQ. Otherwise, we are helpless victims of the collective Giant who "doesn't mind losing a few bodies to protect his greater interests." (Lila, 17) When we reject the concept of the sacredness of human life, genocide becomes acceptable.

Marsha: I seem to be a fictitious self and an experiencing individual. The fictitious self is my memory, the composite of the four levels of static patterns of value, and the experiencing individual is my responding to DQ. I can endlessly deny my fictitious self: not this, not that, but I cannot seem to deny that I am not other than this and that. A separate category? Sure, that's easy: nuts... imho. ___ Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org/md/archives.html Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org/md/archives.html
