Marsha said February 4th: "Ones experience of the sun is one that is ever-changing as the sun moves position through the sky and as ones visual perspective and context changes. Even moving ones head changes the experience."
Ant McWatt comments: Marsha, I think you're confusing concepts by intuition with concepts by postulation (as per Northrop) and also confusing the terms of Newtonian mechanics with the static-Dynamic division of the MOQ. For instance, the sun is a concept by postulation. One of its static/stable patterns is that it "moves position through the sky" every day. The yellowy-orange patch (i.e. a concept by intuition) which can be observed in the blue of the aesthetic continuum (at certain times during a clear day) is thought to correlate to this (postulated) object. (Isn't Arlo finishing a project on an e-version of Northrop's "The Meeting of East & West", btw?) Marsha continued February 4th: "And I thought the MOQ was to change the everyday understanding from one of self and objects to one where the world is nothing but value. I didn't think it was to keep the everyday mundane understanding in a static state of ignorance." Ant McWatt comments: As with the post of Dan's that I recently responded to, this type of statement worries me. Isn't the primary use of the MOQ to improve the Quality of your life? There's just a certain limit that pondering from the Dynamic perspective of the World of Buddhas is going to take you. It ain't going to fix yer bike! Thanks for the tip with the tea, by the way. The Golden Monkey tea that you recommended will be next purchase tea-wise; even if I have to buy it over the Internet.
