Krimel said to dmb: I think you are confused a tad here. I would read this as: The Tao (Quality) that can be named (SQ/DQ) is not the real Tao (Quality). DQ/SQ are yin and yang the opposites that reveal themselves as two side of the Quality coin. You view banishes Quality from the MoQ.
dmb says:Right back at you. I think you're confused. Yin and yang are both static, they represent the world of the pairs of opposites, the conceptual distinctions we make such as male and female, active and passive, etc. But undivided quality is not chopped up like that. In terms of the symbol of Taoism, Dynamic Quality is the whole undifferentiated field of experience from which this distinctions arise. That's WHY the Tao cannot be named and WHY DQ can't be defined; because names and definitions are static. They way you put it - assuming you understand that Quality has not yet been subdivided but included both DQ and sq - would make no sense at all. In that case your sentence would look like this: The Tao (SQ/DQ) that can be named (SQ/DQ) is not the real Tao (SQ/DQ). As I understand it, DQ is the whole symbol of Taoism, the undivided circle. SQ is the yin and yang, the divisions within that circle. This would be like a piece of paper with a diagram of the four levels of static quality written on it. In that case, DQ is not represented within the diagram but is more like the paper its written on. _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail® is up to 70% faster.
