Marsha to Adrie:
Andre:
I think you meant 'Andre' given your response to my post...ah, what's in a name
anyway!!
Marsha:
But the issue was the Intellectual Level and I was considering a definition of
intellectual
static patterns of value based on how they function.
Andre:
Ah, all you SOMers want nice, clean, clear-cut definitions so you can chew on
them and then
spit them out again!
Chew on this for a bit Marsha and then swallow it and digest it...you may learn
some MOQ stuff:
'Poincare then hyposthesized that this selection is made by what he called the
'subliminal self',
an entity that corresponds exactly with what Phaedrus called pre-intellectual
awareness.
The subliminal self, Poincarre said,looks at a large number of solutions to a
problem, but only the
INTERESTING ones break into the domain of consciousness. Mathematical solutions
are selected by the
subliminal self on the basis of 'mathematical beauty', of the harmony of
numbers and forms, of
geometric elegance. 'This is a true esthetic feeling which all mathematicians
know',Poincare said...
It is this harmony, this beauty that is at the center of it all'.
Poincare made it clear that he was not speaking of romantic beauty, the beauty
of appearances which
strike the senses. He meant classic beauty, which comes from the harmonious
order of the parts, AND
WHICH A PURE INTELLIGENCE CAN GRASP, which gives structure to romantic beauty
and without which life
would be only vague and fleeting...'. My emphasis.(ZMM, p261)
This functioning Marsha...this harmoniously ordering of the parts.
'...the MOQ states that consciousness (i.e. intellectual patterns) is the
collection and manipulation
of symbols, created in the brain,that stand for patterns of experience...A
question arises if the term
'consciousness' is expanded to mean 'intuition' or 'mystic awareness'. (LC,
Annot:32)
I think it is beyond doubt (in my mind at least)that the MOQ has expanded
consciousness (i.e.intellectual
patterns)to also mean 'intuition' or 'mystical awareness' because it can grasp
'the center of it all'.
