The best we can say from this is that the crowing and
the sunrise are correlated and have a harmonius
relationship. Which was the cause and which was the
effect are something that more concerns a
subject/object metaphysics. The MOQ would grant that
your view as an intellectual pattern has high quality,
as is the idea that your brain is responsible fro your
awareness. The idealism of the MOQ would remind us
that this is just a theory, and that the idea that
awareness (Dynamic Quality) comes first, ideas come
next, and brains get created in there wake is also
possible.

Dr. Chopra's corrective above is a wonderful
restatement of the Quality idea, and many people are
listeing to him.
