Hi Marsha, I'm sitting outside the closed Williston Community Library, bumming off their wifi, sitting on a bench and it's a cool, overcast, gloomy day. Weather to match the mood of the local farmers who have had more rain and snow this year than they are used to dealing with and are way, way behind on getting their seeding done. Oh well. We've all got our little problems I guess.
Mine is that the firm promise of a trucking job that led me all the way up here, has turned out to be not so firm, and its a good thing I brought my tools with me and there is a need for carpenters or I might be stuck here for the rest of my life! Marsha: Dynamic Quality? At which point, there is no-thing to know, and no one to > know it. - It is static quality that you know, which includes the tenant > of the MoQ. > > John: See, this is the exact part I am disputing. Just because the self or the other has no independent existence, does not mean the same as it has NO existence. I plainly have existence! As I've pointed out before. DQ being indefinable is not the same as DQ being "no-thing". What it seems to me, is that you've fallen in thrall to intellectualism - because something can't be pinned down intellectually, that does not mean it's not real. I believe that is the whole trap of intellectualism, which Phaedrus overcame when he thrashed rationality. Perhaps you have a hard time with this idea because all the intellectual wranglin' that goes on around here makes it seem as if there's no way around intellect. I believe this idea of yours, and Bo's for that matter, needs to be re-examined in the light of the dualistic nature of the 4th level. Marsha: > > Hey! Take better care of that laptop! > John: Believe me, I am from here on out! It's my lifeline to a civilized existence - whether its checking craigslist for job listings, or watching movies at night or emailing the folk back home. I'd be lost without it. Thank goodness its a Mac laptop - which carries an ineffable magic that heals itself, and now it's working fine again. :-) Marsha: > > Plans are to go into NYC tomorrow. Hmmm. To visit Ground Zero, not the > MOMA. Your, adventure, though, sounds more interesting than mine. > > John: Yes, "interesting" would be one way to put it! Take care and enjoy the big wormy Apple.
