[MD] extricating MOQ from SOM

[H]:
There is a third option, though, which I should have mentioned: Reality as
Being.  This is Existentialism which, I assume, is the cosmology behind your
position.  It was Eckhart's cosmology, inasmuch as he spoke of God as the
Supreme Being.  (And, just between us girls, I think it's also Pirsig's.)
I've always defined "being(s)" as that which appears to occupy time and
space.  But is Absolute Beingness even conceivable?   If so, how do we
divide it up into the finite pieces that constitute  existence?  Perhaps
that would mean Nothing is the Creator.  Or, perhaps we divide it by our own
nothingness?

[L]:
Interesting.  What is the difference you have in mind between "Nothing" 
and "nothingness", used in the last two sentences?

Cheers,
