[MD] Regarding The Fundamental Nature of The Intellectual

[Heather Perella]

    Here's a way I've been thinking about intellectual patterns.  It seems kin to what Chris referred to as "conflicts".
    This isn't the sum total of what these patterns do, but it something I see these patterns doing.  Organic patterns are dealing with inorganic patterns, social with organic and intellectual with social.  Art is dealing with intellectual patterns.  By dealing I'm referring to a communication that is happening from organic to inorganic patterns, etc... thus, intellectual to social and art to intellectual.  This dealt communication is dynamic and one of change.  The change is happening and on-going.  The world is change.  Therefore as the intellect/knowledge is changing, knowledge deals with social patterns in order for this change to occur.  The social level is a hurdle so to speak that knowledge must jump/hurdle to establish or maintain its' change.  Social patterns don't change very well, as well as patterns of knowledge.  Knowledge patterns can learn quicker, change faster than social patterns.  Art has to deal with knowledge.  Art can change so
 quickly that the same painting, same literary work can change in understanding if ones knowledge changes.  For any art to change, art deals with the established patterns of knowledge and therefore has to try to change knowledge patterns for the art to be able to establish a change.
      Change is occurring, and this happens without our say.  And as the changes occur, with art, I would maintain how a wild flower bloom can be an art, thus, this taken up as art, this new and beautiful event stimulating not just the senses, not just some flowers blooming and purely an organic event, but the art of these wild flowers growing, where they grow (some over there, some there, some here, etc...), their colors, the bees, or rain falling on them, this artful experience has to deal with knowledge patterns if knowledge is to understand the art of wild flowers.

Art of wild flowers... might take knowledge some time to understand this art... contemplating.
