J: I don't get you at all. Asking what is beyond experience seems nonsensical to me and I for one would hate to get caught doing it. If you can experience what's beyond experience then it's just more and bigger experience. If you mean our communal past experience... well we do that all the time as time marches on. Maybe I'm just confused. that happens a lot. But I'd appreciate any help I can get. dm: > An interesting work that could, given an open mind, help develop the MOQ > beyond some of its self-imposed limitations as I see it.

"no matter how important it is to recognise what it is that we do and do not actually experience." I don't quite follow. I'd ask a more penetrating question but I don't even know where to begin. Would you mind reformulating that in terms an idiot can understand? Thank you.
