Hi Xacto,

If the "I" is not an entity, does that mean it is a non-entity?  Or is it outside
of the entity business altogether like Quality?

I think that is possible.  The I of experience exists with or without this 
body, which simply transduces the experience into a physical form.

If the I is not an entity, then it cannot appear and disappear.  This would 
be similar to the Hindu or Buddhist sense of the I.  What I am still asking,
is what makes the I personal?  Are there individual things outside of entity?

assuming entity-ship of Quality ...one entity = one consciousness.
this is not so. Quality is not an entity. niether is the "I".

Willblake2 asks:
Is Quality the immediate present (which is timeless), or is it more than
that?

[Krimel]
Dave can fill you in on the Aw Gi party line but his friend Rosenthal says
in her lecture that the present is not timeless at all. It carries with it
the remnants of the past and potential of the future. 

I would say, with due respect to Rosenthal, that there are no remnants in the immediate 
present.  As soon as it is captured and converted to neuronal activity or thought,
it is already the past.  This takes many thousands of microseconds.  The immediate
present has no past or future.  I suppose this is Quality, but how would I know the 
unknowable?  Don't know, but I do, just like everybody else does, every instant 
of every day.  "I" am the knower and Quality is known (with apologies to Pirsig).
