Marsha: I think the same approach can be taken towards freedom. First, there's the ineffable, Ultimate freedom of following DQ. I believe this is what Dan is pointing to when he presents RMP's quote "To the extent that one's behavior is controlled by static patterns of quality is without choice. But to the extent that one follows Dynamic Quality, which is undefinable, one's behavior is free." Second, there is the static, ego-based freedom that thinks itself chooses between this or that. - Personally, I think that an event has multiple interconnected causes and conditions which in turn have multiple interconnected causes and conditions, &etc., &etc., &etc. It may be correct to think that an individual participates within the 'multiple causes and conditions', but to say WE CHOOSE is totally self-centered; it's illusion and not very useful.
Ron: well thats a well reasoned conclusion, but I think that the illusion "we choose" is more powerfull and better than the illusion that we have no choice. there are all sorts of things one can choose to change if one sets their mind to it that they never knew were possible before.
