"Then the aesthetic nature of the MoQ is a value blind spot to those holding faith?"
Hi Mark, and forum,
joe: holding beauty and chaos! The 'choosing unit' of an individual is an "an intense coherence between static quality within and across levels." When a microbe eats, is the microbe beyond gravity? I do not know if a Buddhist would see this as a problem. The theory of evolution does have an intense coherence between static quality within and across levels. The theory of evolution is part of the aesthetic nature of the MoQ.
"The nature of beauty depends on the levels involved and their relationship to each other." "Render to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's and to Me what is Mine." Does this create an impassable gulf between Buddhism and Christianity?
IMO Those holding faith are looking only at a comprehension of existence, an emotional point of view so to speak. Does the aesthetic nature of the MoQ pertain to existence, purpose, quality, individually or comprehensively? Whatever the answer, I see no problem between a person holding faith and the aesthetic nature of the MoQ. Apples and Oranges!
David M's hint at the vibratory nature of everything, suggests the beauty of musical harmony is as natural as living, and the aesthetic nature of the MoQ may have laws of its own.
Thanks, Mark, for raising an interesting point.
Joe

Dear forum,
A Buddhist may have no problem at all regarding the, 'choosing unit' of an individual to be,
An intense coherence between static quality within and across levels. *
A Christian, for example, may find this disturbing and wish to affirm individuality? Therefore, is ii possible for the MoQ to be seen for what it is by those dominated by religious patterns of value?
If the following holds:
The nature of beauty depends on the levels involved and their relationship to each other. *
Then the aesthetic nature of the MoQ is a value blind spot to those holding faith?
All the best,
Mark
