Yes, you have read me right and as LILA speaks about a human being as
"a "jungle of values" I hope I have read the MOQ right. You (Platt and
Maggie) will remember how we debated the self - or identity - problem in a
MOQ perspective: Who "monitors" the levels? I can't recall what we arrived
at exactly, but Diana had some useful input there. I also agree with what you
said about chance's role in SOM, but won't open the "creation vs Darwin"
can too :-)

Thank's, hope it wasn't ironic. Terrible subtle stuff this, but important.

Hi Bartz, yes I think your "perception is reality" fits nicely with how I
understand it (as Platt pointed out) on the condition that perception doesn't
solely imply biological sensing because inorganic value is also part of the
Quality universe. By the way, the inorganic level is a field we have neglected
greatly since the early days when Doug Renselle did nothing but speak of it
in connection with Quantum Physics.
The "resident of the state hospital and Mayor of Boston..etc." I don't get. Is it
to say "high and low"?
Finally, the "... Seagull" author's name is Richard Bach, wow, do I remember
him from the seventies and eighties? Not only the book you referred to, but
also also the one about his Air Force days (can't remember the title) and "A
Bridge Across Forever". Very good!

OK, much obliged. You did not LIKE my saying "too much to comment
on"but that didn't allude to your inputs being irreleveantor anything, just that
it would make my message too long.
