[MD] kill all intellectual patterns

[118]

Yes, killing intellectual patterns is one technique that can be used to harmonize DQ and SQ if needed.  This is similar to the Buddhist technique of dismissing the Self to find the true Self.

There are many techniques to arrive at Quality, and each should use that one which is most appropriate for the Self.

My explanation is to first know deeply and first-hand the _experience_ of being without them: awareness, direct perceptions, pre-conceptual experience.  I mean on some level doesn't _simultaneous_ fly in the face of Aristotle's Law of Non-contradiction and all its deep-seeded sub- & un-conscious associated assumptions?  It's not either/or, it's _simultaneous_.

Or might it be nothing fancy, merely an expanded and deeper understanding/insight/experience of reality, a remaking of one's relationship to knowing?  Hasn't RMP stated that the ideal is to experience the Dynamic point-of-view simultaneously with the static point-of-view?

Now he saw that enlightenment is distributed in all parts of the world just as the color yellow is distributed in all parts of the world, but some cultures accept it and others screen out recognition of it."
