[MD] Is this the inadequacy of the MOQ?

Hi A,

I agree that that the eyes of Tao have much interpretation.  I think I
understand the emergent concept that you are talking about.  I would say
that language can also be considered a translation of an archetype.  Once
language is pointed to as the archetype of intellect it may appear to have
some control over that which is creating it.  For me, language is a
transmission of archetypes.  As such, it is one step (or two steps if you
include thought as another step) from the personal archetype.  As many
state, it is a pointing finger providing direction of the speaker's
awareness to the recipient (or archetype if you wish).  But indeed, as the
basis of form of an intellectual level it could be considered an archetype
of sorts.

In my opinion, modern intellect stems from mythology which is a more
pictorial form of expression of awareness.  I would point to Cassirer's
treatment, especially his interpretation of the use of symbols and where
they came from.  A translation (which I always find more readable than the
source) can be found at:

http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/cassirer/

Of course this is language used to translate language, which may be three
steps removed.

As we have discussed in this forum, language has direct interpretation
issues, but its power lies in the opening of new ideas.  Some of this is
created by its nebulosity.  I am glad you brought up archetype, it brings me
back to Jung who I am still learning from.

Thanks,
Mark
