This is something I agree with fully. As you can read my bio the first
reason MOQ interests me is the space it has for mysticism and "occult"
theories.
I remember some months ago someone (Denis ?) asked "... if moq is of a
higher level (than the intellectual), why than am I not shining like a Budha
to all the intellectuals in the gutter ? ... " When you do not see the
mystic part of moq you only understand moq (i.e. from intellectual level
down) but as I stated before you have to believe in moq before
"understanding" it completely. When you "understand" also the mystic part
completely your intellect WILL shine like a Budha; I know this is a very
dangerous statement but I hope there is someone out there to see it also. If
you don't call my a lunatic or something.
To Glenn: I hope I don't sound to agressive but Icannot resist to respond
the drugs dicussion since I feel addressed by your "school and college
students" who you think to be very influencable. Your right, most of them
are, but why's that? I tell you: thats because they never had the chance to
make mistakes since all kind of people think it's necessary to tell them
what's good and what's not (!) . How do you expect them/us ever to become
mature without a chance to experiment and find out for ourselfs!
And why do you think Amsterdam is crowded with youth from Franch, Germany,
England, even America and God knows where ? Not in spite of people telling
them drugs are bad but because of these tellings. Never bin young ?
greetings,
Jaap
PS can't we make mysticism a months topic?
