     This is why dq is important.  When a rock is dq the door is open
for poetry, science, paintings, and all kinds of stories about rocks,
none, that stick by the way, even the rock itself will change.


     I sent this post, and after I sent it, I reread this part of the
post.  It is not very clear what I wrote.  So, I would like to restate
what I meant.
     A rock is dq.  Sure this is understood in the sense that a rock
clearly a distinction is at the same time negated.  Yet, ultimate
reality is expressed not as some empty nothingness, but as a rock.  Yet,
this rock being dq puts the whole expression in its'
ultimate context.  The rock is an analogy of dq.  The rock is stating
dq.  Yet, this rock says what about dq?  Dq can be a rock.  Dq is
nothing.  Nothing is a rock.  A rock is nothing.  A rock is distinct,
but ultimately undefined and undifferentiated.  The ultimateness of a
rock is not confined by the rock. 
Ultimately any analogy is not confined by its'
analogy.  This is the nature of any analogy.  It is what an analogy is.
Analogies are creative.  If dq was totally absolute, then creativity
would not exist.
 To say an analogy is dq points out the inherent creativity and
disbursement of what an analogy is.  
     Dq remains free and innocent of any of these analogies.  Again,
this is what an analogy is.  It is free and innocent of its' own self.
True analogies are metaphors about 'something', and therefore the
metaphor never confines, thus, is very creative.  Each of our
experiences touches upon this 'sacred', and still this 'sacred' remains
innocent, and unblemished.
  
    
 So, x, how is the Moq this close, by a small gap you say, to theism?

I'm just making the observation of the words like "patterns of
value"......"value"......"care"..."moral"...."quality".
All here are interested in "betterness" and it's here where things can
get blurry. As you say, interpetations of these
Words can change depending on who is using them, time, location and
culture.

     Also, anybody else, try to define analogy.  What is it?  When I did
above, I kept noticing how analogy is difficult to latch, and leaves an
undefinable, living taste about itself that can't be locked down with
static patterns.  I don't know somebody else give
a try. 
[x]
Analogy-A representional understanding of external stimuli through
sensory organs, that's my best shot at the 
moment...good one To meditate on. Language? Symbolism?

[SA]   

thank you for this opportunity to clarify myself.

night, gettin' real cold now,
SA

Thank you SA, allways a pleasure.

analogy----the sound of one hand clapping?
