hi, clark:
as i mentioned before your explanation made a lot of sense to me especially
after reading jung's assertion of the collective unconscious being affected
by our personal consciousness. you never answered my question regarding if
you viewed these two as the same thing as i do. in any case, i do have some
things i would like to comment on from your latest two emails.
you say:
<Before human sentience came into being in the
universe the operation of Quality was invariably good and was the guiding
force for universal evolution. I view inorganic Quality as still operating
in the inorganic universe today-still all good. I view sentient Quality
as an offshoot of inorganic Quality that resulted from the normal progress
of evolution.
lithien:
i wonder if Quality can be divided as you have done. is this a split of
Dynamic Quality? or are you saying that each static level produces its own
version of quality affected by the kind of level it arises from? could you
further elaborate on this and clarify these points.
you also add:
<also appeared in Static Quality so that it became possible
for our interpretation of Value (and Quality, and the good) to be at
variance with the operation of inorganic Quality.
lithien's question:
isnt inorganic quality the same thing as static quality? im a little
confused here by the new terms you are using. please clarify.
furthermore, you say:
< In accordance with Pirsig's conception of the "individual Truths" idea
then each human had the capability of pursueing individual paths depending
on their personal history and immediate influences.
lithien:
would immediate influences encompass temperament? if so, are we influenced
by our genetic inheritance and are not as free as we think in pursuing these
individual truths?
clark finally says:
< If my view of the "Many Truths" idea is correct then I can see where
these two aspects of morality will eventually become much closer in the
future. Maybe even identical.
lithien:
in a way, are we being guided?
