Biologically she's fine, socially low on the scale and as an intellectual she is nowhere. We ARE those patterns Mark. Something you and Marsha find difficult to comprehend.

My comment is this:
By stating that Quality has Lila you are separating Quality from Lila.  I disagree with this premise because it creates a false dichotomy.  This is what I imply with my quote in my father's language.

Yes, I also say that we are those patterns and am consistent therein.  Those patterns are part of Quality.  We do not have Lila on one side and Quality on another, and thus Lila "having Quality".  I am not sure your premise is consistent with MoQ, but I could be wrong.

Yes, two approaches to the same awareness.

I believe I am consistent, and I am more than happy to move on.  We just have different approaches.

Thanks for that, it was trite on my part.
