If you understand the idea that words are only representative, and not real entities in themselves (usually), then it is not a big step to bring in the same assumption for objects representing Quality. Do you know how many people thing that words are as real as it gets? Viewing objects as representations is a quick way to get to Quality. In this day and age, such a thing could be called the enlightened mind, and it doesn't take the fear of suffering to accomplish that. >> John: > > The illusion is in believing that there is something outside of the words > and objects to see. Those words and objects make up the only world of > Quality we'll ever need! [Mark] Sure, everything can be labeled as an illusion created by the imagination. What once was magic is now science. The only limits of what the world can be is our imagination. What is it now in physics, the electrostatic forces act through the exchange of virtual photons, that is photons that are not real (check it out)? This is the power of creativity that we are endowed with. One can be satisfied with the words or objects, or one can move forward and create much more, like virtual photons. Once we realize that this is all part of the creative process, there are no limits! Don't sell yourself short, we are not victims here of some authoritarian law, far from it, we have free will. > Moq_Discuss mailing list > Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. > http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org > Archives: > http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ > http://moq.org/md/archives.html > Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org/md/archives.html
