MYSTICS MEDITATE WHILE RATIONALISTS COGITATE.

>At the time mysticism was developed it was a great help to us because we
>didn't understand anything about why thunderstorms occurred, why the stars
>seemed to move in predictable patterns across the sky, or why there were
>things like eclipses. With no understanding and no logical scientific way
>to figure out what was going on, we invented mystical explanations.
Really ? Ever heard of Stonehenge, The Pyramids of Egypt, Glastonbury?
The old civilisations not only knew the movements of the stars, they knew
the circumference of the earth to within 1% accuracy. They even knew 4,000
years
ago, what star our own Sun revolved about- Sirius.
Our civilisation did not discover that last fact until a hundred years ago.
Mary, every civilisation propagandises that what it replaced was rubbish.
Ours is no exception. Time to do a head-dump on that propaganda.

>We used to all pray for rain, good crops, the curing of disease.
>Now we have science to tell us when it's probably going to rain,
>agricultural engineering to improve our crops, and medicine to cure
>disease. We no longer need mysticism to get through the day.
Agricultural Engineering is destroying the ecosystem, Mary. Ruining in years
what took nature centuries to build. The crop cultures of old were far, far,
advanced of our modern methods. Read your Inca history. If medicine is
curing us then how come our huge medicine budgets are proof that we have-
in fact never been sicker. ! !
>We invented imaginary personages more powerful than ourselves because
>we felt so powerless. I'm not saying we were stupid, just that we didn't
>have any tools to work with to help us overcome our powerlessness.
The IMAGINARY personages more powerful than us were in fact SOCIETY.
God is other people, Mary. Our culture of individualism is hooked
on POWER, frightened of powerlessness and dismisses GOD in OTHERS.
This is the ME...ME...ME...ME...civilisation. Machine culture- whose demise
is
imminent, Mary, has been built non-renewable resources. We have plundered
the planet. We have robbed our children of their inheritance to pay for our
need
for power TODAY. Bigger faster cars, powerfull engines, and processors.
>Then came a new way of thinking. Logic. Logic was the next ratcheting up
>on the intellectual static scale. We now acquired a tool, and the more we
>used it the less powerless we became.
POWER again Mary. Ever hear the expression FIGHT THE POWER!??
Who do you empathise with in the old Star Trek? Is it Spock- the emotionless
logician the symbol of the inflexible male partiarchy that is destroying us
all.
(Amazing how many 'liberated' women have joined the partiarchal rat race!)
Or do you empathise with James T. Kirk the Christ figure who is always the
one who has to mediate between the Emotions of Scotty and the Logic of
Spock. In whose hands would you rather you fate lay? Scotty, Spock or Kirk?
>Mysticism was a lower level static value that suddenly found itself in
>opposition to - being attacked by - logic.
Oh yes it is indeed in opposition to logic. Just look at the flack I got
here for propounding MoM: a mystic transcendance of the MOQ. But, Mary,
Mysticism is the HIGHER level. Logic is fit only for computers- is only
artificial intelligence. It is the realm of Objectivity.
Where everything isObjectified.
Object-oriented programming. Women as Sex OBJECT. Lila treats women
as an object because Pirsig never escaped subject- OBJECT thinking himself.
So-called liberation has ended in the straightjacketing of women into ever
more confining roles defined by SUPERmodels. Roles so confining that women
must insert silicone in their breasts to match up with the cultures'
requirments.
For Western men are still babies; consumer culture feeds us all from a huge
milky SUPERmarket breast of engorging over-consumption. SUPER-EGO
The Bonfire of the Vanities. That's Western Culture in a nutshell.
The definition of reality from the dictionary, is that reality is OBJECTIVE!
>I'm opposed to defining Dynamic Quality as God because I think DQ is much
>more than mysticism.
DQ is GOD. Mysicism is the Science of Godhood.
DQ comes from GOD as DQ-CREATION and hits the plane of earth/water where
it becomes SQ(past) and then it reflects back to up GOD as dQ-creativity
(future).
DQ=Divine Creative Artistic Madness. Right side of the brain = DQ-Quality.
The left side is Static, Mathematic.
The GRAPHIC attached shows this DQ-SQ relationship.
