Marsha: 
The MoQ as we discuss it is an Intellectual Static Pattern of Value, and is subject to 
an individual's static history and the dynamics of the experience.  RMP knows that 
there cannot be an absolute MoQ.  In this quote, he acknowledges the MoQ's 
vulnerability.  I may agree with Dan on many issues, but that he has an absolute 
understanding of the Quality of the MoQ, I have to say:  No. No. No.  -   On the other 
hand, I think there is great value in trying to deepen ones understanding, and if one 
can kill those intellectual patterns even for a few minutes, than great good has been
accomplished.

“There is the Quality of Zen and there is the Quality of the MOQ and they are not the same thing anymore because the MOQ is an intellectual static pattern and already it’s been polluted plenty to get into that pattern. And all of a sudden you’re taking sides and things... You’re picking and choosing and in Zen you’re not supposed to do that! I’ll give you that koan: ‘the way is not difficult but it avoids picking and choosing.’ That’s a famous koan: the quality that is Quality is arrived at not by picking and choosing.”
