Mati, I was suggesting that one can have a direct, nondualistic experience that is prior to, or separate from, intellect. But then when you try to think or talk about it, you get tangled in the culture's dualistic static pattern of value. It seems to me that intellect coexists with language, and in the West they are both predicated on a subject/object point-of-view. I've wondered about your question too. Maybe there are non-Western cultures that are not built on dualistic understanding. Poetry is often non-dualistic. Right? Native American? I would love to here from other too. m moq_discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
