[MD] Awareness and consciousness in the MOQ

[Andre]

Marsha to Andre:

In what way is identifying patterns as "yourself" other than just another pattern, although, in your case, a very special pattern?  But wait, isn't that specialness you identify just another pattern too?

Andre:
Marsha, what you fail to recognize, or rather what you refuse to recognize, to commit yourself to, is the integrative power of the MOQ and its implications. Remember the understanding which first broke through in Phaedrus's mind when he had integrated science and ethics into a single system? He became quite manic about this (see Chapter 12 in LILA).

...and I have just deleted a big chunk of my response to you as I realized that it is all wasted on you. I realize that you do not consider your 'self' to be a representative, a carrier, a manifestation of static moral patterns of value. All, in the end, is meaningless because it is grounded in emptiness.

All is JUST another pattern (as you argue above).

I do not wish to continue this 'discussion' with you. Your stance on this discuss, to me is reprehensible. It comes over to me as the 'negative' side of Quality...pure flatland.

out.
