Hello Wim / Sam:
mel:
Pardon my intrusion on this nexus
of the Faith thread, but there seems
to my understanding an empty space
where the points of your discussion
do not meet. (or I am deficient in my
comprehension of your exchange...)

Yes!

While on the one hand the infinite potential of
manifesting non-being as it "spills" into being
is DQ, as we experience or perceive it, hence,
change; on the other, the perception or experience,
the comprehension or synthesis, or the occasion
of epiphany can be freighted with DQ.
To expand in the later case, when insight into a
state or relationship that is new to one individual,
that is a DQ experience, regardless of whether to
someone else that insight was known or discovered
some time ago and so SQ to the senior experiencer.
As change is relative, so is perception-experience.
(to digress to the mystic-church chord)
All perceiving beings in the unfolding of their experience
will find quality at their own "pace." So to, to the limit of
their capability, will institutions, organizations, schools,
groups, religions and the people within find change
unfold in their experience of quality accreting in being.
Mother Theresa and the example of service has
replaced the inquisition and the burning of heretics
in the expression of Catholicism. Protestant-like
chatter of engaged social church members has
replaced the deep contemplative space of a more
magnificent ritual-laden, priest driven church.
Slow change is still change, but to the ability level
of those with less flexibility, those invested in taking
control of the rigid structures of static quality from
the 'fear memory' of pain at the hands of others who
had previously controled society -- Rome.
There will always be an impatient lot who sees a
bit more clearly and will lauch toward the DQ by what
ever name...so they should, but that is not for everyone.
thanks--mel
