Hi Steve and all, DQ/SQ: the MOQ proposes the acceptance of an evolutionary reality. One aspect indefinable the other aspect definable. Distinguishing those aspects are beyond the capabilities of a Will limited to choosing one direction for movement as compared to an intellect which tells me to jump on my horse and ride off in all directions where directions are analogs to the intellectual observation of evolution.
The will is tied to cognition and does not have absolute freedom, as reality presents itself to the sentient faculties one level at a time. The will is determined to levels in evolution and as much as I want I can't go to the next floor by standing up. Gravity intervenes. I require a vehicle, whereas the intellect in itself watches the imaginary description of the next floor to decide if it is worthwhile for the will to move and whether the elevator is working!
