Right, Mate!
I will run out and but both right away.
> 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

> link beauty to freedom. In what sense are you using freedom?
>
> just curious,

> 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
