That was not Dan previously, but Marsha previously and I wished to re-emphasis my statement. > It is easy for one to muddy the waters when one > brings in an Eastern philosophy that we do not have a full appreciation of. I'm certainly not the only person who has investigated Eastern philosophy, and there is such thing as a question or google search. > If the intent is to harmonize MOQ with such then, not this, not that has to > be used in a constructive fashion.

If you mean "It is none of these things" please explain why you think it was not useful. It was a remark made to Dan. I'm sorry do not approve. I have read 'neti-neti' explained many different ways. Maybe you have exact set of words you'd like to recommend. Let's hear them. > The goal would be to add words to describe such properties.

I thought Dan might understand after all his Zen sitting. And don't ask me to explain what is beyond words. I will only dance away...
