Hi Marsha, I would put it another way. Non-locality is a statistical concept of matter, and while Quality could be said to have properties of such statistics, it is not non-local. In my opinion, it is about as local as something can get, that is, one's personal relationship to the cosmos. By abstracting Quality, one confines it. To experience Quality, one embodies it. Instead of putting Quality out there, put it in here.
I do not quite understand your application of nonlocality to sunshine and storm, but it sounds interesting. Like something I would say... Patterns present themselves due to Quality. Patterns imply the mixing of independent sources, at least in a dualistic (or pluralistic world). A monistic world is determinism and I have no intuitive use for that. Dependent arising cannot exist alone, it is dependent on two things plus the nature of their interaction. It has a source, and that is Quality. Quality is independent; it is the unmoved mover, or the first cause, or the ground of being, or the essence of a flame. >From the one come the two; from the two come the three; from the three come all things (just an analogy, of course). The three are independent so as to create patterns that depend on them, otherwise patterns would not exist. The Yin, the Yang, and the power of interaction. Dynamic Quality, static Quality, and Interactive Quality. This seems to me to be the way that reason can approach it. If we say that Quality interacts with itself (which is another approach), the notion of patterns cannot exist. All we can do is interpret the signs, like making constellations out of the stars. Outside of reason, It is This not That. Or, as Peter Gabriel wrote in "It" (The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, Genesis 1974) When it's cold, it comes slow. it is warm, just watch it grow. -all around me. it is here. it is now. Just a little bit of it can bring you up or down. Like the supper it is cooking in your hometown. it is chicken, it is eggs, it is in between your legs. it is walking on the moon, leaving your cocoon. it is the jigsa, it is purple haze. it never stays in one place, but it's not a passing phase, it is in the single's bar, in the distance of the face, it is in between the cages, it is always in a space it is here. it is now. Any rock can be made to roll, If you've enough of it to pay the toll. it has no home in words or goal, Not even in your favourite hole. it is the hope for the dope. When you ride the horse without a hoof. it is shaken, not stirred; Cocktails on the roof. When you eat right through it you see everything alive, it is inside spirit, with enough grit to survive If you think it's pretentious, you've been taken for a ride. Look across the mirror, before you chose decide it is here. it is now Thanks, Mark On Thu, Nov 10, 2011 at 12:31 AM, MarshaV <[email protected]> wrote: > > Quality may be compared to quantum physics's nonlocality.
