DM: I think DMB is spot on here. I think the whole thing links into time. DQ is linked to time to values to the capacity to choose between different possibilities. Where do values disappear, where does consciousness sleep? where there is no choice, where the same comes around again, where patterns repeat, this is the nature of matter. There is something very special about molecular combinations, they give us the only concept of determinism that we have been able to create. I think of matter as being determined in the same way as a man that has been placed in chains, slap him as much as you like and he cannot run off. Molecular combinations lock up activity and produce what we call matter. I refer you to the myth of Osiris and Set. Sam I suggest that the fourth level is about individuality (as its goal) because this is where DQ is most clearly expressing itself in our time. I would suggest man develops away from animals via language via the tribe and society and religion to reach the objective and deterministic possibilities of modernity and science, initially highly authoritarian and regulated, potentially overcome by creative genius, from collective consciousness to individualistic self- consciousness, pluralistic, post-modern post-secular, expressive, fulfilled, flourishing, joyous. regards David M MOQ.ORG - http://www.moq.org Mail Archive - http://alt.venus.co.uk/hypermail/moq_focus/ MF Queries - [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe from moq_focus follow the instructions at: http://www.moq.org/mf/subscribe.html
