     I don't see nothing existing, but nothing can be
said and Quality is like Emptiness, but a rock is dq,
in other words, a distinct rock is innocent,
untouched, and speaks for itself.

     This MD forum very much so intellectualizes
quality.  I agree.

     Buddhism has historically become trapped in
non-thinking, whereas, yet, the well-practiced Zen
practitioners advocated against this non-thinking. 
Zen is intellectual, thoughtful, and not trapped in
S/O, pure logical thinking (which I call hardened
thinking).  Zen thinking I would say matches with
quality thinking or static intellectual quality.  The
MoQ emphasizes intellect, as well as, social,
biological, and inorganic via the levels to help
express that the MoQ has static aspects.  Whereas some
of the wondrous Zen practitioners would say don't
think, but this is the same as resetting the computer.
 To use this analogy, when the computer gets stuck,
turn it off, and reboot it.  I experience the MoQ, as
Zen, as rebooting a human 'into' a different
perspective, a different way/practice.  In general,
I'm agreeing with you Marsha from what I gather from
these recent posts.
