Marsha said to David Harding:

....  I consider my "self" to be a flow of ever-changing, conditionally co-dependent and impermanent static patterns of inorganic, biological, social and intellectual value in the infinite field of Dynamic Quality, nothing more.

There you go being a "genuis" again. A flow of ever-changing static patterns. Do you really not understand why it is a contradiction of terms? Flow is the opposite of static. Ever-changing is the opposite of patterned. 
Again, this is not even a philosophical point. It's just about a flat-out contradictory use of words, a use of words that doesn't make any sense. It's like saying I'm a free prisoner or flxed point in motion. The only way to make sense of such utterances is to take them as an absurd joke. Sadly, you're not kidding.
