[MD] Oneness, Dualism & Intellect

Hello Arlo.
 
> [...] we act according to a sense of following betterness (Quality).
 
I would say we act authentically when we act according to a sense
of following betterness.
 
Whether it's motivation toward betterness or a simple desire for change,
people act for a wide variety of reasons.  Many people choose drugs and
alcohol to avoid suffering and numb pain.  Its feel better in the short term.
But it's clearly not following betterness.
 
>From the perspective of Quality as source we are defined by Quality.  The
mistake is seeing quality as something we create.  The alcoholic creates
his or her quality from a bottle.  The False Self (a la Merton et al) sees
quality as a product of their emotional programs for happiness
