Johannes writes: In my opinion, there cannot be a real coexistence between DQ and SQ. SQ is eating DQ. SQ is absorbing DQ. It is a kind of metamorphosis: A small piece of DQ dies and gets a small piece of new SQ, which fits into the complete volume of SQ, representing mans scientific, cultural and social world. Sometimes it substitutes another one, sometimes it is just an addition to our knowlegde. So there is nothing outside those both: DQ or SQ, nothing else! No Zone between them, only a dividing line. Clark writes: Your letter contains the clearest explanation of the interaction of DQ and SQ that I have seen. I interpret you as saying, and I agree with you, that we cannot be consciously aware of being influenced by DQ and SQ simultaneously. My interpretation of SQ is that it is the totality of our conscious awareness of all of the influences that make up our understanding of our universe at any given time. My understanding of DQ is that it is the totality of the influences below the level of awareness that are influencing us continuously which operate to alter our SQ conscious awareness, or, our understanding of our world at any given time. My answer to the months question is that there is a continual interplay between subconscious DQ and conscious SQ that tends to cause our understanding of our particular worlds to grow and broaden. Since we can never be consciously aware of the operation of DQ then we can never be CONSCIOUSLY aware of obtaining DQ and SQ simultaneously. We can be pleasantly or unpleasantly aware of ongoing changes in our SQ but once the actual awareness occurs it is no longer DQ but becomes conscious SQ. MOQ.org - http://www.moq.org
