In ZAMM, after realizing that Quality is neither subjective nor objective,

unless it cuts in some way or other, it is meaningless.
Hi all. I hate to interrupt this excellent discussion, but maybe you could
explain what this means for me.
From "ZEN;"

What is essential to understand at this point is that until now there was no
such thing as mind and matter, subject and object, form and substance. Those
divisions are just dialectical inventions that came later. The modern mind
sometimes tends to balk at the thought of these dichotomies being inventions
and says, "Well, the divisions were there for the Greeks to discover," and you
have to say, "Where were they? Point to them!" And the modern mind gets a
little confused and wonders what this is all about anyway, and still believes
the divisions were there.
But they weren't, as Phaedrus said. They are just ghosts, immortal gods of
the modern mythos which appear to us to be real because we are in that mythos.
But in reality they are just as much an artistic creation as the
anthropomorphic Gods they replaced.

Thanks for any consideration.
