Ham, would you say the our "attraction" to the absolute source can be considered to be spacio-temporal perception? That is, it involves movement?
I wouldn't rule it out, but I personally don't see physical dimensions as an "attractive" value -- unless of course we're focused on pulchritude or the structural design of nature. Objective (experiential) reality is only a representational projection of the affinity or attraction of the sensible agent for the Absolute. As such it manifests the subjective agent's particular value orientation at the time of the experience, rather than pure or undifferentiated Value. For that we would have to dismiss the spacio-temporal aspect and measure the whole of an individual's life experience (what I call the subjective 'value-complement").
As an analogy, consider the value you realize while reading an engrossing novel. Each page presents new situations which you react to valuistically in different ways. What you feel emotionally and respond to intellectually is constantly changing as you follow the story. But once you have finished the book, its "net value" is established and it thereafter represents the book's overall value for you.
The novel 'in process' for each of us is our own life-experience. Only when it is completed can we determine our essential value-complement. And that is metaphysically significant because it's what we "take with us" from this dimensional existence.
At least, that's my belief. And thanks for asking, Ham 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
