[MD] Fw: Nagarjuna and the MOQ

[Joseph Maurer]

Hi Ham and all,

I was taught that metaphysics is a different discipline from physics.
Subject/Object is the reality in the metaphysics of Aristotle.  Aquinas
accepted that S/O division for reality.  Someone embroidered that logic into
a divine-right-of-kings quilt.

In Subject/Object metaphysics, the way we know things is carefully defined.
Real existence is given the abstracted intentional existence for a thought
in my mind to make real the Subject/Object base used in logic.

Pirsig said NO! To that division of existence for knowledge.  He proposed
evolution which I describe as levels in existence, as the arbiter of reality
SQ.  DQ remains indefinable!

Subject/Object metaphysics became the logic for an historical nightmare when
ruthless leaders used it as an argument for a divine right of Kings.  This
was an appeal to the Subject/Object division of reality when the the King's
authority was defined to have divine existence.

Existence in Essence is multileveled and pluralistic and indefinite for an
individual.  Free-will is supreme, leaving truth and good under the cloud
of: "just what I say it is"!

Imho Evolution describes an order in existence creating the metaphysical
base for morality.  Revelation suggests ten commandments.

A law of (order) in seven levels as in sound, and a law of three forces for
manifestation, Active, Passive and neutral has been an esoteric description
of reality for many years.

Math is a defined language used in physics.  Math describes a progressive
numerical order and the logic this creates.  Mathematics is not metaphysics.
