In my last post I identified the problem I detected in your view as failure
to recognize Dynamic Quality as a kind of morality. I suggested that your
view left no satisfactory way to explain how moral change occurs
and pointed to some of the awkward corners that your failure to offer such
an explanation had painted you into.

Which I explained my way out of by pointing out that SQ contains many
patterns of change, but you just re-ascribed those static patterns to DQ and
said I was still in the corner.
Hi Johnny, Rick and other interested parties:
What an interesting thread you are pursuing! I have a very narrow
perspective on this. I want to keep my thoughts logical to an instinctive
sensing of reality. I hope you don't mind my two cents worth of an
explanation of the dynamics.
How can I form a static pattern? I do not abstract it, as that would
presuppose mind/will and subject/object difficulties. As a child I
experience things. Through intuiting dq and the memory of repeated
experiences I form patterns sq and learn words to express them, or make up
words. My awareness through this activity forms a pattern of myself to
which I give the name 'I'. My pattern seems to be composed of dq and
memory. How can I change the pattern?
My awareness seems to be a field generated by my DNA like a gravity field
around a planet. It is not simply knowledge since many times I do what I do
not wish, and do not do what I wish. From the activity of forming 'I', my
awareness acquires a center of gravity peculiar to me which makes me an
unique individual. What is this center of gravity?
I propose that there are three aspects of dq which I can instinctively
sense. Only one aspect of dq is available in my awareness in a moment of
awareness. All three aspects of dq are present in the formation of
patterns, including the pattern 'I'. The center of gravity of my awareness
is the habitual use of one aspect of dq in my awareness of the pattern.
There is no morality in undefined dq. I propose that the dq quality
'existence' determines a moral order. Changes of other aspects of dq
changes the pattern.
The witch focused on the existence of the Suni social order which hung him
by his thumbs. Then he focused on the existence of the white social order
as being rapacious, greedy, and indiscriminate enough to force the priests
to allow him to pursue his purpose. He turned to the government troops,
which was a dynamic choice as it had a different focus on dq 'purpose', the
dq of allowing another to pursue a purpose more freely, and he sent his
message.
The government troops challenged the priesthood and imprisoned the war
priest. When he got out of prison the priest saw that his power was broken
by being conquered, and accepted the situation that another social order was
stronger, and the futility of resistance. Another dynamic choice. I can
change according to what dq I pay attention to in a pattern. I am changed
by circumstances. War! Life and death! If I respond to a different aspect
of dq in a pattern, I change everything! "The world is contained in a grain
of sand."
