[Ham] Insofar as this applies to Darling's point about the brain's function as the "editor of consciousness", I agree. However, I suspect that you're not accounting for the valuistic component of man as an "agent of change." For me this is critical. [Ron] >From the standpoint of a free entities ability to act and affect change in the percieved realm of "existence", "using" a belief system in my opinion differs from "belief" in a system, maybe it was in how I was terming it, but I see your point about how they intertwine valuisticly. Fact is you simply can not divorce yourself from it because THAT is what you are made up of. Good point. > ------------------------------------------------- > This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/ 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/ > 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/ 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/ 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/
