Hi Mark
Mark:
Thank you. I think there may be a connection between Ratio and rta. I
must look into that.
Paul:
You are well placed to look into it, given your study of Indian
philosophy. Going well?
Mark:
From what you say here, it appears that any rational enquiry is in fact
a pattern of discovery in response to DQ.
Paul:
I think it is not so much that ANY rational enquiry is a response to
Dynamic Quality, but more that Dynamic Quality is not necessarily
excluded from the creative process of rational enquiry.
Mark:
Does this indicate that the term 'inventor' is misleading? Surely an
inventor is one who lets go of static patterning and opens up to Dynamic
intervention.
Paul:
That sounds right.
Mark:
Thus, a fine line must be walked between filling your experience full of
static patterns and allowing yourself to float between them.
Paul:
Indeed, in all aspects of life - the "middle way" of Buddha seems to fit
with that approach.
Mark:
I watched an interview with Michael Caine the other night who told a
story of advice he heard given in a lecture to a business school. The
lecturer responded to a questioner seeking advice for business students
by telling him to drop out!
Paul:
There is something in that advice; if you stick rigidly to old patterns
and techniques you will find yourself left behind. In fact, the business
world is full of static-Dynamic tension if you look closely at it. In my
experience the trouble is that businesses often don't have the concepts
to deal with it and make the best of it.
[I bet the lecturer you mention would be upset if all of his students
followed that advice!]
cheers
Paul
