Hello All!
"No problem can be solved from the same consciousness that created it."
Albert Einstein.
"The fundamental delusion of humanity is to suppose that I am here and you
are out there"
Roshi, Yasutani
"Consciousness is a fascinating but elusive
phenomenon; it is impossible to specify what
it is, what it does, or why it evolved. Nothing
worth reading has been written on it."
Stuart Sutherland
Consciousness is a Divergence of four life forms mediating DQ.
I was a little excited when i wrote this and used the term, 'Diverge' rather
than, 'converge.'
Sorry about that folks.
When i'm in the grip of DQ i can be more than a little impetuous.
Consciousness is a Convergence of four life forms mediating DQ.
But i should like to change this to:
Consciousness is DQ mediated by a Convergence of four life forms.
Yes.
I think that sounds better and conveys more of what i wished to say upon the
matter.
Consciousness is DQ mediated by a Convergence of four life forms.
Okie Dokie.
May i sum up what my thinking has thrown up at this point?
It may give some of you a damn good laugh at least! ;)
In no relevant order:
1. Panpsychism.
2. Four life forms, Inorganic, Organic, Social and Intellect which inhere in
DQ.
3. The for levels/life forms/moralities have nothing to do with each other.
4. DQ is the goal to which all patterns migrate, which suggests Teleology.
5. Consciousness is DQ mediated by a Convergence of four life forms.
5a. Therefore 'I' is an illusion.
6. Freedom is possible when DQ is unmediated. This is the best definition of,
'I.' In a sense, i am saying that DQ IS consciousness, which is why it is so
hard to define.
7. Substance and causation belong to SOM.
There is little, if anything here which Pirsig does not say or imply.
I make no claims for originality.
If one concentrates upon one level in the MOQ then consciousness evaporates;
this process is mere SOM.
Bo's much vaunted, Interaction - Sensation - Emotion - Reason is a damaging
SOM brick wall in my view, and i seem to be alone in taking this view?
John B's voice in that he is multiplying DQ is even more damaging.
The next contribution from me will be an essay if there is no response to
these postings.
The essay will be centred on, of all things, a baseball bat!
All the best to everyone,
Squonk. :-)
