J-A, Would you now like to lecture me on how you have achieved a similar performance of beauty, harmony, balance, and how I could too if only I listen to your wise words?

Is it your habit (pattern) to think you KNOW other people's interests? That's a rather grandiose claim. - Make your point! Here's my mundane point: --- Static patterns of value are repetitive processes (multiple events), conditionally co-dependent, impermanent, and ever-changing, that pragmatically tend to persist and change within a stable, predictable pattern. Within the MoQ, these patterns are morally categorized into a four-level, evolutionary, hierarchical structure: intellectual, social, biological, and inorganic. Static quality exists in stable patterns relative to other patterns. Patterns have no independent, inherent existence. --- Marsha p.s. Consider this explanation in the same category as "pure experience" where 'pure' doesn't mean 'pure' but merely 'relatively pure' and there are no accusations of some horrendous, unspeakable, anti-intellectual crime against definition. > 12 maj 2013 x kl. 23.46 skrev MarshaV: > >> >> J-A, >> >> Answer the Y/N questions yourself; I am not interested in doing so.
