No, by realizing that such a thing is static quality.  Knowledge is
something we create.  It is not something that loops around.  It is
only if one believes that knowledge is something that must be found
that you get into your paradoxes.  So, perhaps you should get your
head out of the Aristotelian sand and grab a hold of Quality.  It will
free you up from all those logical loop-de-loops.

This reflection loop arises from Western logic.  MoQ does not create a
box unless you choose to create one.  Just don't get into that
reflection loop, it is an unecessary paradox.  I have presented why
many times in the past.  Like thinking about thinking about thinking,
what nonsense!!

If you do not have a basis for your reality apart from words (which is
what I asked Marsha about), then I suggest you find one.  You will not
survive in a Quality Awareness without one.  Trust me.  I am assuming
that you are interested in Quality, of course, since that is what MoQ
is about.

Take Quality to heart instead of as some clever metaphysics.  The
metaphysics is simply a description.  We all know what it is a
description of.  At least I hope we do.  You will not find it in the
words, they are just pointing in a direction.  But it is there,
believe me, or if not, believe Pirsig.
