Greetings Krimel, Thank you for finding the reference. I remember you stating that too much has been said about DQ. Is that true with the exception of your definitions? Quality, Dynamic Quality, the Way, NoThingness, Emptiness. All are names for something that cannot be conceptionally known. Do you disagree? Marsha Shoot for the moon.
