[MD] The Level of Intellectual Quality

[gav]

hiya,

"In the third stage, that of 'absolute religion', the selfconscious subject and its object, Nature, are seen as distinct yet essentially related, and at the same time as grounded in an ultimate unity. And God is conceived 'as the Being who is at once the source, the sustaining power, and the end of our spiritual lives'. This does not mean, however, that the idea of God is completely indeterminate, so that we are forced to embrace the agnosticism of Herbert Spencer For God manifests Himself in both subject and object, and the more we understand the spiritual life of humanity on the one hand and the world of Nature on the other, so much the more do we learn about God who is 'the ultimate unity of our life and of the life of the world'      <<<<<The MOQ would add a fourth stage where the term “God” is completely dropped as a relic of an evil social suppression of intellectual and Dynamic freedom.   The MOQ is not just atheistic in this regard.  It is
 anti-theistic. >>>>>"" 


gav: so the term 'god' is dropped but the concept remains? ie there is an ultimate unity of our life and the world but we don't call it god we call it quality or dynamic quality or tao or becoming or nagual or some other word?

i am confused - seems like a cop out to me...what difference what we call it? maybe that's why the indians have hundreds of names for it....
