    Dan:

    Degenerate quality and Dynamic Quality can only be identified in retrospect.
    Once you've put up boundaries on the mystical it's no longer mystical. I
    think the MOQ would say there's just experience -- evolution, Dynamic
    Quality, gravity, purpose, existence and unfinished sq/dq are all
    intellectual patterns of value -- but experience is Dynamic in the sense
    that we can never define all of reality. Experience might be called a
    Dynamic process (freedom) of defining static patterns of value (order).

    Hi Dan and all,

    joe: Thanks for your response! When I studied scholastic thought the
    question How do I know things? was answered "by abstraction". SOM a division
    of intentional and real existence.

    Now in the MOQ I ask How do I distinguish the moral levels? The suggestion
    is "by experience"! I am not satisfied.

    How do I distinguish the experience of the level, inorganic, from the level,
    organic? By experience! Experience becomes a word of many levels! It is
    like the word God! IMO 'experience' is dynamic only in the category-self
    awareness (self-creation). Can things affect me which I am not aware of?
    Yes. Is the effect the same as the things which affect me of which I am
    aware? No! One is moral. The other occurs through the autonomy of the
    moral levels.

    I am and I have inorganic, organic, social, and intellectual experiences. It
    would be a shame not to distinguish mystical from mechanical experience. IMO
    only as an individual is my experience dynamic. Were Adam and Eve only
    dynamic? Inter-subjective agreement is not a moral contradiction.
