I think that you *can* assign something a value if you don't look at it in
terms of something else. You'll remember, the Brujo followed "a vague sense
of he knows not what", he wasn't doing things in 'relation' to what his
tribe thought was good or bad, in fact you could say he was doing things 'in
spite' of the patterns of the tribe.
[Case]
What he was doing was drinking heavily and repeatedly even after more sober
member of the villiage tried to repremand him.
[David]
Yes, he may have explained his new found sense of good and evil using the
old language of the tribe, but not in a way that was 'in relation' to the
old tribes patterns.
[Case]
He told them that could not kill him because his heart was in his toenails.
[David]
Certainly if you wanted, one could compare what his thoughts of good and bad
were to those of the tribe, but such a comparison is second to Dynamic
Quality - the source of all things.
[Case]
Only in the sense of DQ being equal to madness, electroshock or chemical
release from static patterns.
