Hi John,

Off the top of my head: DQ caring is spontaneous caring, no choice 
involved; it's non-dualistic, not from a sense-of-self/I perspective, no subject 
or object, so no one choosing.  Spontaneous.  

It is also the awareness I mentioned to Ham.  Spontaneous awareness 
without the concept of self directing all effort.      

Thank you John, this seems pointing in a good direction with the keyword:
spontaneous.  

How can there be choice when there is no one to choose?
