Hi Squonk,
(I am sorry for responding before I post your words. When I read your words in Outlook Express there is a vertical line on the left margin. This distracts me. To avoid the line I space down from the top and start writing.)
joe: I think the static aspect of intellectual value is the pattern. I think the holding place for patterns is the memory. I think the dq intellect is the apprehension of dynamic quality. I call this the 'intutive intellect'. A pattern has value, meaning.
Is the "undefined aesthetic sense" the same thing I mean when I use 'intuitive intellect'? When I was a Dominican novice, the organist had a cheat-book of Broadway tunes. At recreation time, he would begin playing chords on the piano, and I would sing. "Old Rockin' Chair's Got Me" was our favorite. He played what he wanted within the chord structure and I sang what I could. I have no idea what I sang except it felt good. Many times we returned to this song, and each time it was different. As I remember the experience, I feel it was a catharsis for many of the things I had to repress. I think I would place an "aesthetic sense" as the 'intuitive intellect' of my DNA generated awareness, Is this gibberish? Is my awareness my intellect, my mind?
"The intellectual order" is an open statement. When I talk about my intellect, I want to individualize it yet I want to avoid the word 'mind.' I prefer 'DNA generated awareness' since that emphasizes my individuality. My awareness works with the patterns in memory that my individuality has experienced.
Lila's mind, intellect may have been weak or non-existent, but that is a stereotype about women that has been around for awhile and easily repeated. This is to the subject Lila's Child.

Hi Joe,
To use some lingo that has been growing of late, the intellect has two aspects - a static one and a Dynamic one. DQ-SQ tension.
The static aspect, "is a memory for patterns which
it might create which chance or a performing brain might trigger into our
awareness."
The dynamic aspect would be DQ actually dancing with the static patterns into a new relationship or formation. The dance is an aesthetic sense of the best that can be. And i would agree with you that you don't have to be in a special state, but having said that, we are the real motorcycle, so we can, if we wish, become more aware of the aesthetic sense we all have. This sense is undefined.
All the best,
squonk
