Greetings,

This time around, I'm truly loving reading this book.  The question 
that lays across my mind is 'What is opposite-from-non-zebra and 
opposite-from-non-pot?  They are general conceptual patterns that are 
a component of me.  They are built on my experience of zebras and 
pots.  I think I should be able to call them to recognition.  I'm 
sure when I see a zebra or a pot, they automatically appear in a 
flash.  They would be the static patterns that most interfere with 
direct perception/experience of zebra or pot.  I'm just 
speculating.  I'm not redefining the Sautrantika, but trying to 
understand and consider their epistemology from a MOQ 
point-of-view.  And I'm quite sure I should be able to clearly 
conjure up some patterns.  In fact it seems strange that it should be 
even a little difficult.

This kind of speculation may also be something I'd like to use in my 
painting.  I have this idea of a painting creating a pot from a 
'opposite-from-non-pot with daisies' (from direct 
perception).  Things an instructor told me about painting 'paint is 
what you know, what you see and what you feel' suddenly becomes very 
insightful.  And it would be fun.

I'm guess I'm just rambling.
