dmb,
Setting up David (djh), or anyone, who has a different point-of-view from
yours, by calling them anti-intellectual, and then arguing against RMP or the
MoQ being anti-intellectual is a straw dog argument. Your argument is a
logical fallacy because it misrepresents other's position. What is BIG is
RMP's suggesting that morality can be served by disregarding ("killing")
intellectual patterns, not by distorting what others have to say. The words
are RMP's; don't blame the messenger.
RMP actually does talk about Dynamic Quality, as enlightenment, when he
suggests that it's an universal experience available to all cultures. It is
the West's over involvement with intellectual patterns that prevents having
this experience. He says 'follow Dynamic Quality and morality will be served.'
And the truth, RMP says, that the good is subordinated to is BOTH
"intellectual and Dynamic Quality" - it is nothing special.
Even the quotes you offer do not support a static truth, but show a strong
preference to dynamic experience:
"Dynamic Quality is the pre-intellectual cutting edge of
reality, the source of all things, completely simple and
always new. ...It's only perceived good is freedom and
its only perceived evil is static quality itself - any pattern
of one-sided fixed values that tries to contain and kill the
ongoing free force of life."
Notice: "only perceived evil is static quality itself". Dmb, it's about the
moon, the experience, not the finger pointing to it, and certainly not about
the concepts pointing in the opposite direction.

Here's the truth... How does RMP state morality can best be served:
RMP writes:
While sustaining biological and social patterns
Kill all intellectual patterns.
Kill them completely
And then follow Dynamic Quality
And morality will be served.

"When Phaedrus first went to India he'd wondered why, if this passage of
enlightenment into pure Dynamic Quality was such a universal reality, did it
only occur in certain parts of the world and not others? At the time he'd
thought this was proof that the whole thing was just Oriental religious
baloney, the equivalent of a magic land called 'heaven' that Westerners go to
if they are good and get a ticket from the priests. Now he saw that
enlightenment is distributed in all parts of the world just as the color yellow
is distributed in all parts of the world, but some cultures accept it and
others screen out recognition of it."
