Hi Xacto, If the "I" is not an entity, does that mean it is a non-entity? Or is it outside of the entity business altogether like Quality?
I think that is possible. The I of experience exists with or without this body, which simply transduces the experience into a physical form. If the I is not an entity, then it cannot appear and disappear. This would be similar to the Hindu or Buddhist sense of the I. What I am still asking, is what makes the I personal? Are there individual things outside of entity?

Quality is not an entity. niether is the "I". ________________________________ From: markhsmit <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, May 28, 2009 9:26:38 PM Subject: Re: [MD] qUALITY On May 28, 2009, at 7:29:33 AM, Krimel <[email protected]> wrote: From: Krimel <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [MD] qUALITY Date: May 28, 2009 7:29:33 AM PDT To: [email protected] Willblake2 asks: Is Quality the immediate present (which is timeless), or is it more than that? [Krimel] Dave can fill you in on the Aw Gi party line but his friend Rosenthal says in her lecture that the present is not timeless at all. It carries with it the remnants of the past and potential of the future. I would say, with due respect to Rosenthal, that there are no remnants in the immediate present. As soon as it is captured and converted to neuronal activity or thought, it is already the past. This takes many thousands of microseconds. The immediate present has no past or future. I suppose this is Quality, but how would I know the unknowable? Don't know, but I do, just like everybody else does, every instant of every day. "I" am the knower and Quality is known (with apologies to Pirsig).
