Platt and Squonk,
Before we get all gusshy over all of our appreciations of beauty...
Platt asked:
"If we all would witness our experiences as being within a continuum of
beauty, how much richer might our lives might be?
and Squonk rejoices:
"However, now and again, i see a vision of what the world might be like if
our
children learned to value beauty from an early age? It is a shining vision -
illuminating in its freedom. Freedom?
Yes! Freedom!"
Andy: Why do you both think valuing beauty is something that can be taught?
Platt, doesnt't this contradict your vision of quality? Why is the MOQ
necessary for it? I thought beauty just is. What would it matter if
everyone
had the same appreciation for it? And Squonk--please tell me how you managed
to
link beauty to freedom. In what sense are you using freedom?
just curious,
Andy
Hi Andy,
I shall do my best to answer your questions mate, (leaving aside those
addressed to Platt for him to answer, as i know he is more than capable of doing,
for himself):
1. Why do you (both) think valuing beauty is something that can be taught?
sq answer: I did not suggest beauty can be taught. I contemplated the thought
of what our world might be like if, 'if our children learned to value beauty
from an early age.' In order to value beauty one must experience it. In order
to experience it one must be allowed to do so. Experience of the work of
masters would be a good thing. The teaching is done through experience
2. And Squonk--please tell me how you managed to link beauty to freedom?
sq answer: Freedom in the MoQ is an ability to respond to DQ. Beauty is a
high degree of coherence in DQ-SQ tension, therefore, beauty is a liberation of
static patterning.
3. In what sense are you using freedom?
sq: answer: In the sense that patterns are more responsive to DQ.
I hope this helps to answer your questions? If you wish an expansion upon
this i will be happy to try and explain, and at any time. However, reading ZMM
and Lila would help.
All the best,
squonk
