Hi all
How do/can we describe awareness in the MOQ in terms or SQ & DQ?
To begin with, within the small whole of my experience I am aware of
everything.
What I am not aware of I do not experience. Awareness is clearly
fundamental.
I value the patterns I am aware of differently. Some I take little notice
of, but
it is clearly worthwhile keeping my eye on them or else they drift out of my
awareness. I move around. Patterns absent themselves from my awareness
and others appear: as I move from the hall to the kitchen. I describe and
know
patterns through general/universal concepts such as 'kitchen' or 'hall'. And
these
patterns contain other patterns like 'taps' and 'walls'. And all these
patterns are
contained in larger patterns like house, country, world, cosmos, up to the
largest
pattern I have some experience of, i.e. the universe. All these patterns
change
and keep changing the overall pattern that is the little wholeness and
everything
of myself. Some patterns have special qualities. They can change the
body-patterns
within my whole-self of experience. Like big rocks falling on my head. My
body patterns
are special. They clearly try to sustain themselves. If they are injured
they mend.
Other patterns effect me, they make me see what I call red or blue, or smell
something,
etc. My experience of everything over the time of my life is a collection of
patterns that
have effected those patterns that seem to be self organising and
controlling. My self
organisation patterns can also influence those patterns that seem to be
organised
by an intention that is not entirely my own. I know that there are many
other living
self-organising patterns that come into the realm of my little whole-self.
In this realm
these others influence my self-organising patterns and I can influence
their's.
They are clearly aware of patterns too.
In fact is it not the most obvious conclusion that any self-organising
pattern that responds
to other patterns must have some form of awareness? Or can anyone argue for
an
animate/inanimate distinction in the MOQ?
I see one proabable realm of inanimate interaction of patterns and that is
when a pattern
is unable to maintain itself in the presence of another pattern, when it is
overwhelmed.
EG when the cow pattern eats the grass pattern, or when a bigger atom steals
the electron
from a smaller atom (part joke). This is the end of a pattern of
self-organising awareness.
We call it death. I think patterns interact with each other across space:
near/far/touching.
I think self-organising patterns interact over time with themselves, this is
memory
and inner awareness. Self-organisation is causality across time. So far
science has
concentrated on the causality of patterns interacting in space with each
other. The
science of self-organisation across time has had less attention. The
self-whole-experience
is the interaction of self-organisation 'within' across time, and
interaction with other self-
organising patterns that are outside our inner self-organisation but are
within our realm
of self-experience awareness.
Knowledge is just how well we are able to create patterns within our
self-organisation
(via society,language,etc) that simulate how other patterns of
self-organisation operate.
So we can duck the ball being thrown at us, etc.
Make any sense.

David Morey
