[MD] The Quality/MOQ meta-metaphysics

[John Carl]

Marsha and Craig,

I also agree but I thought I'd share how this formulation struck me when I
first read it...

Intellectual formulations are static responses to past experience.  With
time, they become obsolete.  When we "kill" all intellect, we are re-opening
ourselves to what is good in the moment.

Some intellectual patterns will reassert themselves because they're good
(Quality is served)

Some will reassert because they're too embedded and we haven't gone deep
enough.

And some will die out completely to be replaced by something better that we
can't see while blinded by the "intellectual glasses" of present knowledge.

Killing all intellect is a supreme act of faith - faith that what is good
will re-install.

Take care,

John
