Hi Steve and All, In a DQ/SQ formulation of metaphysics, freewill follows DQ emotions. The evolutionary movement is from the static to the defined through indefinable emotions. The defined is a higher level than the undefined in that "Logic" a universal is a higher level than "wish", individual. However, there can be no defined logic without the indefinable wish (emotion) preceding in a DQ/SQ metaphysics. In terms of metaphysics DQ is necessary to SQ, and the logic of SQ makes intellectual level a higher level than the wish for enlightenment at the emotional level.
