    Hi Paul

    I understand your position and once held it,
    but I have started to ask if what was once One
    needs to be seen as suffering from separation/distance
    like this, does separation assume SOM? Sure creativity
    differentiates what is One, it is like the SOM cut of whole
    experience, but is this discovery? Are we not cutting up what
    is already there, i.e. the Quality basis of experience?
    Otherwise, how is it possible for there to be any knowledge at all?
    When Newton proposes the theory of gravity he is making a leap
    of knowledge, a leap over the SO divide, but, of course, that
    divide is not basic, underlying Quality is a unity. Do you see what I mean?
    We start with wholeness/One we differentiate ourselves from this wholeness,
    we reach the SO divide and our intellectual knowledge is both a new
    differentiation
    and a leap back to wholeness, i.e. we grasp what is real/reality. Make any
    sense?

    regards
    David M
