Dear Marsha,
You wrote 30 Jul 7:41 -0400:
"I read of the conflict between the levels and identifying with a dominant
level. But where is the Dynamic Quality that Zen offers? Where is the
turning away from, the letting go of, attachment.
Where are the instructions, methods and suggestions to reach the place for
experiencing that everything is connected to everything and a broader
perspective? And how can this be cultivated in ourselves and offered to all
in the Social and Intellectual levels?"
I don't know about Zen, but I agree that you won't find the Dynamic Quality
that measures and thereby connects all static quality if you only look for
conflicts between levels of static quality and for which patterns are
highest and dominant within and between levels.
Yet "instructions, methods and suggestions to reach the place for
experiencing that everything is connected to everything and a broader
perspective" are just more social and intellectual static quality.
You can only cultivate Dynamic Quality by looking for ... static quality, by
seeing its steady change, its migration towards ... Dynamic Quality, despite
conflicts, despite even harmony within and between levels.
There's no place to experience it but here and now and everywhere. There's
no method for it but by experiencing Quality in its contradictory (static
and Dynamic) identity. It doesn't need instruction, suggestions and being
offered. It is there for everyone already.
One turns away from and lets go of attachment to any particular static
pattern of value as soon as one sees the whole pattern of migration of them
all. When you experience the static in the Dynamic and the Dynamic in the
static, you identify with the whole, the One, with Quality as such.
With friendly greetings,
Wim
