But that begs the question, "What does dynamic experience arise from?" Again
we see that when it comes to origins, reason and logic (the ideology of SOM
critical thought) swallows its own tail. Something else is going on, as Ant
says, "a general progressive direction" or "a creative impulse" that is
foreign to "blinkered" academics "who can't see beyond the
creationist/materialist options."
