[MD] The 4th. level's two interpretations. Part 2

[mark_maxwell at talktalk.net]

Bo:
'SOM is not "mind", rather the mind/matter distinction...'

Hello Bo,
Metaphysics is an intellectual activity.
Therefore, Intellectuality precedes that which it creates, in this case, S/O.

Bo:
'...and from inside SOM - the intellectual level - the term "intellect" indicates the mind part.

squonk: This statement places, ‘that which intellectuality creates’ within, ‘that which intellectuality creates’.
Ron presents you with its consequence…

Ron:
Therefore to understand your version of the MoQ, we'd have to be out of our minds.

Bo:
‘Well, you have a point, the MOQ rejects the mind/matter split as 
existence's fundament…’

Squonk: Both SOM and the moq are creations of intellectuality. Therefore, one does not have to be 'out of ones mind' in order to flip between them; one simply adopts a different set of intellectual positions.

Bo:
‘…thus there is no mind (nor matter) outside the intellectual level.’

Squonk: That’s right: Mind is a creation of the intellectual level. Being a creation of the intellectual level, the intellectual level can not be mind.

All the best,
squonk
