[MD] MoQ and Logic

Hi Joe,

To propose solutions your question(s) below:  The metaphor of the ocean containing both transient 
waves, and the potential for ever changing waves is supposed to give the same feeling as the two 
parts of Quality unified.  It is incomplete, but the notion that it has to apply to land is not necessary.  
I'll try this with evolution.  In biology the forms of life are SQ, evolution is DQ, 
Quality is both static and dynamic expression.  With the planet itself, the form of the planet
 is SQ, the ever-changing presentation of this form is DQ (uplifting and erosion for example), 
the Big Bang (which I don't subscribe to), is Quality.  If the big bang created time, space, and 
cause-effect, as is thought by the cosmologists.   With feelings, SQ are the feelings, 
DQ is the propensity for feeling to come and go, or transmute, and Quality is...? At-one-ment?

Yes, stories are a lot of fun, and revealing too.

As many will say (J. Campell, for example), myths are metaphors for
something fundamental (Quality) being revealed in human experience. The
trouble is that trying to categorize that something, immediately creates a
system of understanding that leaves everything out.

Metaphors are useful. If Quality were the ocean, then SQ are the waves, and
DQ would be the currents, or the waves ever appearing and disappearing.
What do you think?

Hi Markhsmit and all,

[Joe]
Does DQ have the same relationship to SQ that currents have to waves? To
evolution? There is certainly some relationship. Using the metaphor of the
ocean for quality would work on water world, but then what is dry land in
relationship to DQ as static and fluid are in opposition? Which metaphor is
closer to DQ, an undefined aspect of evolution? I guess the changes caused
by earthquakes would also be a metaphor for DQ in an ocean or landmass.
