Dan: Oh, but you're so modest and diplomatic! You'll make a great teacher. dmb: If our behavior is controlled, how does that fail to count as controlling us? Dan: Our behavior is controlled when we follow static quality. When we follow Dynamic Quality our behavior is free. We are free to do either. dmb: Isn't the question whether or not we can act freely? Dan: Yes! dmb: Free will means you can act on your will. Dan: No! Your will is an illusion, an idea. Point to it. Where is it? dmb: If your will is determined then you cannot act on your will. Dan: What will? dmb: The MOQ gives a different answer to these questions than the MOQ does, but those are the questions. Dan: Now this makes sense! dmb: The whole issue is about whether or not you have any choice about what you do or say or think, which all count as acts. dmb: Of course. But what we do and say and think are not us! They are our actions. And as long as our behavior (what we do and say and think) are controlled by static quality patterns, it is without choice.
