Well put.

You mentioned in your previous mail that inorganic and biological things
are conscious. Or in other words, they are self-sustained
value-patterns, according to the MoQ? So all is consciousness, and our
ego is but a finite part of All?
Okay, DQ is the Source, uncut value. Has it got a reality on its own, as
Andre seems to suggest (in my interpretation of Taoism = MoQ - SOM)?

And how do we explain our seperateness (an ego viewing imperfectly an
objective world) in terms of Quality? What has the MoQ to say about
this?

Just some questions. One more thing: If it's so difficult to transcend
the s-o split, how can we talk about a view on reality that is primary
to this?

Greetings, Patrick.
