Hi Marsha
I love this quote. And it is when we experience changes like ice changing to
water
that it becomes pretty clear what DQ is all about, and that water is more
dynamic
than ice, and that is more static than water. But everything retains DQ,
i.e.
the capacity for change, and also for SQ, to become fixed or more formed or
more organised. Not so mystical really or indefinable in these terms,
although
the fact of change and openness and the fact of form and the reality of SQ
is of course inexplicable and a source of wonder. Surely it is from this
that
the pure religious impulse comes from. Of course, all talk of gods seems a
poor or confusing way to try and make sense of these facts from experience.
Although as human created culture gods have a poetic quality, but they
seem to be more about the possible and almost nothing about the actual.

Subject: [MD] DQ/sq as WATER/ice
Greetings,
For me, this is a good analogy for 'the fundamental nature of static quality
is Dynamic Quality.
"Water is distinct from ice, but in the ice cube it is present: not as a fly
might be trapped there, but _in the very ice_. And yet when the ice cube is
gone, the water remains. Although we see water as ice, we do so not because
it is there separately, to be seen from behind or apart from the cube."
(Iain McGilchrist, 'The MASTER and his EMISSARY:
The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World', p.
452).
