A fundamental aspect of the MOQ which I really like is lurking here.
That is, in the MOQ, the *whole point* to the *whole whoppin' thing*
(i.e.-universe, life, sentience...) is that Quality (originally beyond
concept/division/duality) manifests itself Dynamically (big bang?) in the
form of matter/energy-space/time - beautiful quadratriliiobillions of miles
of rainbow coloured clouds of swirling gas and dust, particles, wind,
spinning... ever turning, forming stars, which age.. .burn fuel, heavier
elements form, ... iron finally in the core.....
and: BOooooooooooooooooooMMM!!!
Blowing astronomically multiplied numbers of cosmic elemental entities
outwards, forever away and dimming, growing and spinning, forming planets,
solar systems, moons, comets...
...and one day, nobly crying, quite pathetically quietly, life forms on
this rotating revolving sphere of dirt and juice...
Think. All those ENORMOUS -quantities- of matter/enery (low, static
quality - huge quantity) is formed into tiny amounts of biology (higher,
individually (gradually increasingly) dynamic units of (eventually)
self-experiencing patterns of values). Why? Because a cell is more Dynamic
than a rock (which has no cock, and hence no dynamic
self-recreating-potential). And that which is more Dynamic is better.
(you phallic monkey!)
NOw. All 3-something billion years of biological evolution. Trillions of
millions of different kinds of bodies fucking, eating, pissing, smelling,
farting, jumping, climbing, flying....
And then a big australopithecine ancestor cries when his brother dies.
She, who wove a basket.
He, who killed the rabbit with his bow to put in the basket.
The affection-&-instruction-receiving childs eats, watches, learns.
Society. Pounds upon pounds of biomass. The Pyramids tower. Rome rises and
falls....
A political constitution is formed.
Socrates speaks.
Buddha is.
Pirsig writes.
We breathe, read, listen, meditate, write, discuss....
And Why?
So I, so You, CAN BE DYNAMIC INDIVIDUAL UNITS OF EXPERIENTIAL QUALITY,
capable of leaping towards and into the transcendent leading tip of evolving
dynmic experiential quality.. groping, pushing, pulling ourselves over and
above the latest terrestrial static latching mechanism- the intellect (the
divider, the cutter, the joker, the midnight subject/object toker... the
solaqi-tip of the mental mountain...) - leaping past the intellect into the
great unknown beyond -
(shhh- these here landscapes house the Metaphysical Village)
ANd the point , THE point is fulfilling itself, now, as I speak and you
listen and you reply and I hear and agree, and we look out the window to the
blooming poppy fields below -
Lila.
Lila. Dance me to the end of the line.
Lila.
Fill me with wine,
So that the whispering winds of awareness might
choke my ego and give lift
to the dynamic rift
of aesthetically waving
oceanic-flagging
quality
events
on the soft track ahead,
So this is it.
those with eyes will see.
He has hid.
She has sought.
Both doing what they ought.
Evolvila: No Pyramid is a Tomb
Quality is the womb of Quantity.
Ever seen a rock write a poem?
Then why do you ask such difficult questions?
