My apologies, I should have been more clear and written that the 'freshness' experience of Dynamic Quality is passed off in the west as Freedom. But that's not what Dynamic Quality is. Just doing something new, or whatever you want, isn't Dynamic Quality as you agree above. >> David: >> What the MOQ says is that there is another way of experiencing Dynamic >> Quality and that is through the perfection of static quality.

I think it is the only way for them to be in harmony. There's many ways of experiencing Dynamic Quality however. >> David: >> Zen Buddhism is of the 'Sudden Enlightenment' kind.

In other words, that's just what happens if one were to follow the path of Zen.
