Dear Marco,
You wrote 10/3 22:01 +0100:
'"Better reflecting before acting" is indeed a good sentence, yet I think
the 4th level can't be exhausted with it.'
I agree. As you explained 17/2 15:21 +0100, we're only trying to find
sentences that 'someone' starting the 4th level could have said. It's not
meant as a sentence that exhausts the 4th level.
'Acting without reflecting' (as in Eastern martial arts or applied
mysticism) like 'selfless awareness' aims at the moon of DQ. This may be a
5th Q-level, as John B. claimed 17/11/01 14:04 +1000, but I still (like 29/1
17:05 +0100) think that they are 'above the intellectual level, on [their]
way to found a 5th level'. In other words: they are not yet statically
latched. I wouldn't call them 'pre-intellectual', as you did when you wrote
2/2 16:20 +0100 'we are selfless (preintellectual) aware in our social,
biological and even inorganic patterns of behavior'.
You 10/3 22:01 +0100 again:
'Reflecting is about connecting our intellectual patterns'.
Not necessarily: 'reflecting' may also just mean 'mirroring', adding a
'meaning' to a 'symbol' implying that something which is made into a symbol
refers to a meaning, a truth, a reality. Even art can mirror/express
something else, a meaning, something essential to (but unexplainable
otherwise by) the artist. And otherwise it may also be (like religion, for
me at least...) something 'above the intellectual level, on [its] way to
found a 5th level'. Well maybe Eastern/mystical 'acting without reflecting'
& 'selfless awareness', art and religion are in competion with each other
which will found the 5th level?!
With friendly greetings,
Wim
