Dan:

If I understand correctly, Dynamic Quality is free of expectation. It
is the new moment freshly dawning, pure experience, no reflection, no
static quality entrapments. To ponder on what could have been is a
reflection... it isn't real experience. It is an illusion of what is
real. To suppose by changing one's actions one can change the outcome
is a powerful tool but only by looking forward, not looking back.

Thank you,

Dan
