Dan:

This is like saying I am free to sit here and write to you or I am
free to get up and walk away in disgust. Freedom has nothing to do
with patterns! It is synonymous with Dynamic Quality; the lack of
patterns.

Okay. Lets say I want to drive from Chicago to Miami. I am not going
to choose a route that takes me through Sacramento, California. Not
unless I have a practical reason for doing so. My determined
destination precludes out-of-the-way detours like that.

However! Lets say I decide to take a trip. Any trip. Any where. Now! I
am free! I have no determined destination! I am following Dynamic
Quality, the absence of all patterns. The fact whether I choose (or
not) has no bearing on freedom.

We must keep in mind though: ANY predetermined set of patterns we come
up with all rely on preconditions that exclude Dynamic Quality, or the
lack of patterns.

Does this help? Or not?
