I read the extract as saying something rather more subtle and interesting
than that: that it's not possible to draw the absolute Platonic distinction
between mere 'static constructs'on the one hand and capitalised,
transcendent and untouchable Quality on the other. I think this distinction
is probably a peculiarity of the Western philosophical tradition which we
now read back into Eastern texts; cf. W.T. Stace, 'Mysticism and Philosophy'
for example.
