All descriptions of reality, including 'undefined Quality' and the
'undifferentiated aesthetic continuum,' are aesthetic creations of the
intellect. Those concepts themselves imply a dichotomy because they can
only be known by their opposites--immorality and difference. I don't see
how you can think without dividing direct experience. We have to divide to
survive, and for most people, there's more Quality to being alive than
dead.
