[MD] MoQ as religion

[Илья Коробков]

Hi SA and all,

I'll try to elaborate on what I think about MoQ (why it is a religion more than anything else).

MoQ seems to me a very strange and tricky object. One is unable it prove it right or wrong remaining on it's own ground. - Unable to prove it rationally, I mean. For MoQ looks at rational arguments in a haughty manner: "They are all static. Static concepts cannot grasp Dynamic".

MoQ demands faith, not rational understanding. It cannot be understood rationally. (Example of trying to:
- What is MoQ?
- Static intellectual pattern.
- What this notion (that MoQ is a static intellectual pattern) is?
- Static intellectual pattern, too.
- And what is this notion?
- The same...
Infinity. Good old infinity.)

Now. I can accept that Dynamic Quality or nothingness (I am more comfortable with the buddhist term) IS a reality for a certain man. But. Do we have any base to equate this PERSONAL nothingness with metaphysical (i.e. COMMON FOR ALL) "source of all things"? I see a great "leap of faith" here. Don't you?


By the way. I have had some personal experience of... (I am not sure how to relate to it. Hope you will help.) Some years ago I took in 100 ml. of Kalipsol (very strong hallucinogen) and clearly remember the state of VOID - no "me", no "outside world", no "subjects", no "objects", no "thing" at all. No space. No time. (This state lasted ETERNITY.)
I can easily associate this state of void with buddhist "Nothingness", but it's VERY difficult for me to associate it with Quality. (For this state was void of quality or value whatsoever.)
Can you help me interpret that experience in MoQ terms? Definitely "a theory of everything" (what metaphysics is) shouldn't have any trouble with it?

LFFYA,
Ilya.
