[MD] Mother earth -Father sky

[Ron Kulp]

SA, 
I know what you mean, there is no other way to express "Dynamic" except
in static terms (short of givin ya a big hug!)I've been reading Jacques
Derrida and he has some intresting things to say about the very thing
You are ....here's a snippet

"At its core, if it can be said to have one, deconstruction is an
attempt to open a text (literary, philosophical, or otherwise) to
several meanings and interpretations. Its method is usually based on
binary oppositions within a text - for example inside and outside or
subject and object, or male and female. 'Deconstruction' then argues
that such oppositions are culturally and historically defined, even
reliant upon one another, and seeks to demonstrate that they are not as
clear-cut or as stable as it would at first seem. On the basis that the
two opposed concepts are fluid, this ambiguity is used to show that the
text's meaning is fluid as well.

This fluidity stands against a legacy of traditional metaphysics (that
is, Platonist thought) founded on oppositions, that seeks to establish a
stability of meaning through conceptual absolutes where one term, for
example "good," is elevated to a status that designates its opposite, in
this case "evil," as its perversion, lack or inferior. These "violent
hierarchies," as Derrida termed them, are taken as structurally unstable
within the texts themselves, where the meaning strictly depends on this
contradiction or antinomy.

Derrida insisted that deconstruction was never performed or executed but
"took place" through "memory work": in this way, the task of the
"deconstructor" was to show where this oppositional or dialectical
stability was ultimately subverted by the text's internal logic.
Meticulous readings find philosophy anew. The result of this renewal is
often to find striking interpretations of texts. No "meaning" is stable:
Derrida called the "metaphysics of presence" the thing that keeps the
sense of unity within a text; where presence was granted the privilege
of truth."

     It is not that I don't agree that all is no-thing.  It is just that
anytime we begin to describe dq, such as it is "always changing, all is
in a state of becoming, all is ever moving." then you've made dq a
static pattern.  As you say above, "all being dynamic and becoming
static when minds perceive it."  I agree with this.  I really do, also,
think that a tree is saying everything about ultimate reality, as well.
Thus, a tree is an analogy for ultimate reality.  A tree is ultimate
reality. 
Flowers are ultimate reality as flowers.
     I am just pointing out that when we use the MoQ to begin to
describe dq in static patterns, and ignore that these are static
patterns it is dangerous.  We are losing out on the meaning of the
terminology.  The innocence of dq.  Yet, if I describe a tree as dq, and
in this whole paragraph I've put into context (key
word) that this tree is a static pattern, an analogy of dq, which is dq
analogizing itself as a tree I am being respectful of sq and dq in their
proper context.
 How does dq analogize?  How does dq do anything?  It is the static
aspect of quality doing all the doing. 
I don't believe dq was ever first and then a beginning happened and bam
sq appears after dq.  All is quality and the first split is dq/sq.  Dq
and sq appear at the same time, and by saying this it is easy for me to
just say it has always been this way.

thanks.

snowing,
SA
