Hi Marsha, I like your definitions.
'Analytic enquiry' conjures images of reasonable problem solving via subject object logic for me; I consider subject object metaphysics as a slightly whimsical intellectual practice. I can't reconcile SOM as the 4th level; SOL yes, but SOM merely an indulgent diversion. Also, the conditioning force of social convention sounds right on the nose too. I've lost my temper with some people in moq_discuss before now; when that happens it's an indication that I've lost 'it'. No big deal, I can look for 'it' again. 'It', the overview, the MoQ point of view, enlightenment, is a momentary thing; it can happen for me when I realise I have unconsciously contracted my whole body and that my awareness of my self has shrunk to my frontal lobe. Remembering my body is the quickest way out of gumption traps for me. -Peter 2008/8/15 MarshaV <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ron Kulp" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Friday, August 15, 2008 1:19 PM > Subject: Re: [MD] Social & Intellectual Levels > > > >> >> Ron, >> >> I would think that analytic inquiry is an intellectual tool (pattern) to >> >> develop better patterns. >> >> I'm a conventional girl, living in a conventional world.
