Marsha,
If there's no intellectual quality, where's Dynamic Quality going to latch? To
social patterns? Okay, but that can create new intellectual patterns.
I have never said there is no intellectual (value) patterns, so I have no way
to answer.
To biological and inorganic patterns? If so, then maybe you are a manifestation
of Lila.
I have never denied inorganic, biological, social or intellectual (patterned)
value.
What does it mean to "kill" an intellectual pattern? May its carcass still be
used for something?
I'll repeat what I wrote yesterday. Isn't the idea to understand that these
static patterns should not bind, or blind, us whether intellectual level
patterns or biological patterns. Then one merely needs to recognize patterns,
and to determine, to the best of one's ability, what it values and whether it
is useful or not in the present case.

This quote seems so appropriate for Subject: title.
"From the static point of view the whole escape into Dynamic Quality seems like
a death experience. It's a movement from something to nothing. How can 'nothing' be
any different from death? Since a Dynamic understanding doesn't make the static
distinctions necessary to answer that question, the question goes unanswered. All
the Buddha could say was, 'See for yourself.'
"When early Western investigators first read the Buddhist texts they too
interpreted nirvana as some kind of suicide. There's a famous poem that goes:
"While living,
Be a dead man.
Be completely dead,
And then do as you please.
"And all will be well. It sounds like something from a Hollywood horror-film
but it's about nirvana. The Metaphysics of Quality translates it:
"While sustaining biological and social patterns
Kill all intellectual patterns.
Kill them completely And then follow Dynamic Quality
And morality will be served."
(LILA, Chapter 32)
