[MD] The hard question.

[Joseph Maurer]

Hi Ham and All,

When I negate existence I feel empty/death!  And when I conceive sensible
variety negation leaves me speechless.

I find 'essence', a word created by the combination of the infinitive and
participle of to be, esse, ens to be too contradictory for metaphysical
purposes.  In "essence" the value of evolution as levels in existence
becomes a supposition of definition, no discussion of specifics possible.
Metaphysics become a meaningless discipline.

DQ/SQ has support both emotionally and intellectually.  Negation has no
value in a metaphysical structure, only in a physical structure.  Negation
leaves evolution meaningless along with metaphysics.  I replace the word
"essence" with "existence in evolution" for metaphysical relief.

Joe
