Hi gang...
This thought may be too general to be useful, but here it goes, anyway:
Have you noticed that it seems like we spend an -equal amount of time each day
within the 4 levels-?
4 levels - 6 hours each.
Intellectual - Has anyone -ever- been able to put in a full 8-hour day? 8 hours
of writing, or coding, or research... Maybe 6 hours, though...
Inorganic - Call this sleeping
Biological - Maybe a couple hours of dreaming, then time to eat,
walk/move/travel, washing, thinking of the opposite sex ;), zoning out when
we're tired, ...
Social - Surely we spend a couple of hours at work talking with one another,
reading/writing emails... then we need to spend time with our loved ones (and
for most of us intellectuals up on this list, we're probably not getting laid,
so it can't be Biological! :)... TV watching usually isn't intellectual, but
neither do we just stare at the screen - it is Social, don't you think?
Sometimes I think to myself, that there must be lots of ebb-and-flow of living
in these levels... but I'll be doggone, I swear it's almost -always- 6 hours,
every single day. I challenge you to -try- to do more -or less- than 6 hours of
any of these. Watch what your body does in response.
Quite interesting... that's why I brought it to the floor... any philosophy
should be able to give practical explanations (as the theory of relativity
proved the positions of planets), and here is another for MoQ.
This mindset could be also good for 2 more discussions:
- The creation of a proper work-day, compatible with the human spirit: What if
work only soaked up -4- hours of our Intellectual time? Would we fill that time
with book-reading at home (and become a better society)? (and don't tell me that
factory workers or bureaucrats don't use their Intellect...)
- If we spend all our time within these 4 levels, is there even a -need- to
discuss a 5th level? Where/when do we experience it during the day?
