DM: I think DMB is spot on here. I think the whole thing links into time.
DQ is linked to time to values to the capacity to choose between
different possibilities. Where do values disappear, where does consciousness
sleep? where there is no choice, where the same comes around again, where
patterns repeat, this is the nature of matter. There is something very special
about molecular combinations, they give us the only concept of determinism
that we have been able to create. I think of matter as being determined in the same
way as a man that has been placed in chains, slap him as much as you like and
he cannot run off. Molecular combinations lock up activity and produce what we
call matter. I refer you to the myth of Osiris and Set.

I suggest that the fourth level is about individuality (as its goal) because
this is where DQ is most clearly expressing itself in our time. I would suggest man
develops away from animals via language via the tribe and society and
religion to reach the objective and deterministic possibilities of modernity
and science, initially highly authoritarian and regulated, potentially
overcome by creative genius, from collective consciousness to individualistic self-
consciousness, pluralistic, post-modern post-secular, expressive, fulfilled,
flourishing,
joyous.
