Dear Ilya,
Answering your 10 Aug 2004 16:12:04 +0400 question:
I meant the substitution of 'being open to Dynamic Quality' for
'experiencing Dynamic pressure' as simply another way of describing the same
phenomenon that didn't require introduction of a new term ('Dynamic
pressure'). Another way would be to simply substitute 'Quality' for
'pressure':
'If a person experiences little DYNAMIC QUALITY, he is dominated completely
by static patterns. ... If a person experiences great DYNAMIC QUALITY, there
are two possibilities. If this person's static pattern levels are very
coherent, his life is a mystic experience of a great intensity. ... If this
person's static pattern levels are NOT coherent at all, it's hard to envy
him. His life is a complete nighmare.'
I realize now that 'openness to' indeed suggests an explanation for
'experiencing', but I didn't mean to suggest that.
You want to 'build a new scientific psycology based on MOQ assumptions' but
not 'slave to the MOQ'. You want 'both [to] take root from one common
ground'.
I would say that such an alternative psychology should take root in a MoQ
(possibly a slightly adapted version, because applying to new terrain may
make clear some needs for change), but not be fully determined by MoQ
assumptions: a new scientific discipline adds assumptions of its own.
I tried to do something of the kind for economics. See
www.antenna.nl/wim.nusselder/schrijfsels/economics.htm (link also on
www.moq.org ). You will see that my alternative interpretation of economics
very much rests on an alternative understanding of psychology (different
from the one that founds the now dominant economic paradigm). So I'm
certainly interested in your project.
With friendly greetings,
Wim
