MU.
If 'this' (as in your above, "...the moment I say
this...") is dead static, then 'this' and 'that' will
struggle and will not stand down, will not give up
their ground, will be tough til a seemingly death
battle were one will seem to HAVE to be the winner.
Static quality open with dynamic quality is creative
and changes. A tree is a tree until its' branches are
soil and then a mushroom, etc... Not this. Not that.
Is also this and that. Either way not caught up in
the opposites of negation and is (non-negation) - mu
also 'not this' and 'not that'.
