[MD] Where's the Target I'm Shooting at?

[Heather Perella]

Hey Platt and Marsha and others,

     Platt said:  "My own reminder of the target I'm
shooting at is, 'Push on until you capture the beauty
of the thing.'  But regardless of how you define the
target wherein beauty plays a part, everyone is right
in their own way."

     Yes, you can push on or stop and listen, too. 
I'm on target with quality all the time, so are you
and Marsha and everyone else.  We are brushing up on
our skills.  Our philosophical skills and what else? 
What else in our experience on this earth with sky are
we doing.  It is as the following question and then
comment by Marsha points out:

     SA questioned:  "So, where's the target I'm (or
we) are shooting at when it comes to quality?"

     Marsha commented:  "I'd say it's in the
experience, in the moment."

     Marsha I would say yes in the experience, in the
moment, but what is that experience and moment?  I
would answer that it is quality.  Then Marsha went on
to comment as follows:

     "I don't think it would exclude pain, death and
decay.  But these last three make me uncomfortable to
think about."

     I don't think they are excluded either, and at
times my deepest uncomfortable thought is what it will
be like when my wife and I fall asleep, that deep
sleep where I can't wake up my father from either. 
Then in such a grounded way reality strikes me and I
feel the comfort in this down to earth eventual event.
 I have had my moments where everything seemed fine
and dandy and all that I focused upon was joy, but
when suffering creeps back into my life sometimes I
feel that I have been ignorant of what others might
have felt during times that I was with them.  I look
back reflecting on how happy I was and how sad they
may have been, but I was so focused on MY happiness I
was ignorant of their feelings.
 
     There are many moments and we have this
experience of quality, which is here before we split
it into DQ and SQ, and all those levels.  It is as I
mentioned previously, "If I can become conscious of
what made this work, then I can remember how to best
repeat this performance later on."
     Therefore I am implying that we have this quality
and we become conscious of this quality we experience.
 What we were doing during this experience that not
only worked for us, but didn't work for us can be
defined, thus, made static.  We can put these
experiences we have onto these levels to further
define not just for ourselves, but for others so
communication, simply and basically, can occur.  This
does not exclude all those other events in which
definition can become handy for us. 
     We are shooting and targeting quality all the
time, but when we reflect back on our experiences at
any length of time from when those experiences took
place we are able to define them and we can put them
onto these levels.  Yet, as I stated also previously
with some additional comments:  "We could also notice
that [simply and basically we always hit] the target,
and to think just by always 'reflecting' on how we are
hitting the target [the reflecting aspect on how we
hit the target encompasses static quality and thus,
the levels, which] is not the same as hitting the
target, [unless at that moment we let go of the bow
string we not only have our full concentration on the
event (intellectual level), our society with us
allowing such an event (social level), correct bone
structure (biological level), the minerals in the wood
(inorganic level), and the atoms going chaotic even as
those photons fly into our face (chaotic level)]."  As
all of this comes together at that very moment we let
go of the bow string and the arrow flies into the air
and dynamic quality echoes everywhere we hit or miss. 
I have so much fun when I shoot my bow the quality is
excellent, and I decide to do it again.  
     As intellectual creatures we experience quality
in a way that allows for not only this quality, but we
are able to split quality into SQ/DQ undercurrents,
which SQ can be defined by our intellectual level in a
reflective manner of our total quality.  Thus, by
reflecting on quality in our experience,
intellectually we may notice not just culture and
relationships forming a society, but also our skin and
bones right down into an inorganic soil we rely on for
food were upon closer look quarks and photons happen
with uncertainty and this chaotic level is confined
not just by organized processes in the sun, biology,
or society.  Our intellect is able to experience
clarity, providing a clear view from here over to the
tree where I can pull back on the bow and release the
arrow.  How might quality be without all of these
possibilities?  
     Intellect influences society, and understanding
proper hygiene is helpful even in our soil keeping the
sewage out so plants may grow well helps also in that
we don't unleash the full potential of the chaotic
level as another Atom bomb or Chernobyl could radiate
the soil and make all potential levels up to
intellectual be an impossibility.  How might quality
be without all of these possibilities?
