[MD] Intention changes physical world (some questions)

[David M]

DM: Couple of things. In this dynamic world we have postulated human purpose
emerges, we want to try and understand how our world is able to
bring about this amazing fact. And our purpose is not just 'in ourselves'
but a response to the fact of the world that is 'out there' and enables
our re-sponse. Is the purpose of the world our re-cognition of it,
as Rilke suggests?
