Hi Mark,?
?
If you have investigated and believe this, what are you holding on to? A
right pattern? A wrong pattern? Where's the quality now? Now. Now. Now.?
?
I want you here in this forum. I don't know where I might agree with you,
or if, but I want you here. I think you might give some of these delicious
and loveable smart-asses a run for their money. You have things to be
considered. Sure, pissing in a tea cup gets attention. But is it a
?quality? experience??
?
Geez Mark, wake up.?

Marsha?
Hi Marsha,
This is a great question. That's the feeling i have about it.
And the answer i've considered many times may be described in traditional
Western philosophy as, 'severe nominalism.' That's a phrase i've made up
which i think connects with those who teach me in the formal setting.
If i live this and not simply state it, then i find the higher the
patterns are in the moq evolution, the more nominal they are, to the point
where leading quantum ideas support severe nominalism themselves.
Social patterns are more comforting and more easy to attach to; biological
patterns are most comforting; and if all life died we feel a little sick
to think that matter would be left to sentinel what's left.
But these nominal intellectual patterns were used by the Buddha to not
only dismantle themselves, but to dismantle everything. You're asking were
does that leave us?
That's kinda the way i see it.
The moq states that we should value the most nominal patterns, and that
makes me feel uneasy.
How do you feel about this?

P.S. I may be on the verge of being cast out of the temple, again, Marsha.
If so, i shall email you personally and thank you for your support, if you
are indeed supporting me?
Hi Squonk,
Nominalism? That sounds somewhat close. Not so sure about the severe. The
dragon, Nagarjuna, addresses the middleway. Sometimes, though, I get myself
so deep that I cannot say if the sound coming from my throat is a laugh or
cry. Then it's time to backdown a little. (I think.) I'm really a
scarty-cat at heart.
At the moment I'm waiting to hear how Ham-I-Am defines 'autonomous self'. I
hope he knows that I am not so much challenging him, as myself.
Anyway, temple, or litterbox, I hope you stick around.
Marsha
