    Hi All,

    I don’t know about anyone else but to me Bo’s MOQ reality is not all that
    complicated. To me it’s like Godel’s Theorem whereby it was shown that any
    formal system of arithmetic is either going to be inconsistent or
    incomplete.

    Just so, any reality based on the subject/object split (SOM) is going to
    be inconsistent or incomplete. Why? Because it makes no provision for
    values. The proof? Even though values cannot be defined and thus are
    unacceptable to SOM, a world without values would be unrecognizable. We
    couldn’t survive long unless we intuitively knew some things are better
    than others.

    Bo is simply saying (again) that values come first before intellectual and
    intellect’s dependence on the S/O split. As such, MOQ reality is not
    understood by logical analysis which characterizes the intellectual level,
    but rather depends on one’s attunement and giving priority to indefinable
    goodness. The MOQ vision of reality is like that of a mathematician’s,
    where beauty and truth are united.

    In other words, whatever makes you agree or disagree with Bo, that’s MOQ
    reality, not the arguments themselves, but the values you see in them.

    Of course, I could be wrong.

    Best,
    Platt
