[MD] Essentialism and the MOQ.

[Joseph Maurer]

Ham to Chin:  Joe seems to be continuing in your direction.

Ham to Chin: My friend Platt gave up after my second post on Essentialism, 
claiming that
 my definitions were not simple enough for the average high school sophomore
 to comprehend.

Ham to Chin: Admittedly, I haven't read Gurdjieff in a good many years, but 
this
 statement by Joe, who I assume to be sober, has me completely baffled.
 Perhaps one of you will be kind enough to translate this comment into
 something that will make sense to an average college graduate who once
 majored in science.

Joe to Chin:  Conscious awareness evolves at the fifth level through
 my remembered good impressions increasing awareness.
 Only a conscious remembering of myself can sort
 through what kind of impressions I have experienced.
 Impressions, air, food are a conscious wake up call for
 a self remembering of good that can lead me to
 enlightenment at the sixth and seventh levels.
 Good before Truth.

Joe:  Ham I do not understand your bafflement.  As I understand what you 
have previously written, I got the idea that a shock from nothingess got 
essence stirred up.  A law of shock.  Proprietary awareness does not explain 
messes.  A lack of an objective shock can explain a lack of conscious 
evolution.  A conscious shock can sir up conscious awareness and IMO good 
impressios deliver such a shock.  I am making a distinction between 
proprietary awareness in cosmic evolution and conscious awareness in 
conscious evolution--enlightenment.

Ham: It's possible, once I've understood the meaning of such a seemingly 
profound statement, that I might have the confidence to continue this 
discussion.
(But don't hold your breath!)

Joe: If I hold my breath too long I die.  I will take your advice to heart.
