[MD] This and That

[Joseph Maurer]

Hi Ham and Mark,

Kudos to both of you for exposing your thoughts.

A law of three of manifestation, essence, a law of seven of morality, existence! Do, Re, Mi_, Fa, Sol, La, Ti_, and then repeat with twice the intensity! Beautiful! As a bass singer I am trying to learn Bach's Magnificat in D Major. I sat at the piano with one finger playing my part, and I hit three notes. I stopped and had a moment of ???????. Striking, Beautiful, a chord in me resonating to a harmony of the spheres? Associations of something in me!

Plato-The soul touches the world of ideas, Good. Aristotle- The mind abstracts the essence from the image, and gives it intentional existence in the mind, a word. I must know something before I can want it. Body and Soul! Aristotle places the true before the good, Substance-- real, quantity, quality-accidental. Plato places the good before the true. Intentional existence and real existence, Subjective, Objective. Value is in the subjective, and can be abandoned with no harm done!!! EEEk! I think, or I piss and therefore I am. Descartes. Ding an sich! the categories! Kant.
