[MD] The differentiating nothingness

[Heather Perella]

Ham and Dan and others,

     Since someone brought up quality here I want to
comment on something.

     Ham said:  "We may all know what Quality is; but
most of us wouldn't think of it as a universal
source."

 Dan comments:

> "A "universal source of things" sounds suspiciously
> like a creation hypothesis on my end."

     Ham said:  "It sounds on my end as if Phaedrus
had better come up with one soon!"

     Ham, since quality is with reality, as Phaedrus
would explain, because quality cannot be taken away
from reality here and now, then Essence being as you
say a source of all (and still debate how it fits with
all) would have to include something as general and
ordinary to life as quality.  Yet, since the
difficulty with your thesis is how to get from Essence
to everything differentiated, then obviously any
comments using your thesis or comparing any other
philosophical arguments with your thesis would be in
vain because too much is unknown in the basic
parameters of what is happening in the very crucial
moment of differentiation from Essence to Beingness. 
Since, much is inquired and even learned in the
comparisons of what certain things mean and relate to
each other, such as, what is nothingness, what is
differentiation, why must negate be happening, why
this and this and this, these do turn up fruitful
ideas, but the same basic principles are unknown and
still questioned.  As I've said in the past, this is
not a terrible thing, and your thesis may turn up
something, but to use your thesis to debate something
as 'quality' which is a general aspect of life it may
be too early to do so.  I still wonder how Essence,
God, or Quality differ themselves?  Sure now-a-days so
many people have literalized God, maybe because it has
been a concept that has been around for so long that
people will want an answer by now as to what God is
and get it done with.  Yet, if Essence is away from
the reach of intellect, quality has a dynamic aspect
that is out of the reach of intellect (thus,
definition), and people after all these thousands of
years still argue, question, and have different
meanings and definitions of what God is, thus, I would
say God is out of the reach of intellect, too.  Take
this with a grain of salt or take this as what I still
see as the unending try to define somethings with life
that cannot be defined.

Thanks,
SA
