I completely agree that DQ does everything you said above -- this is its
value and importance. And yet, while DQ is busy creating reality, SQ
ensures that the changes wrought be DQ are prevasive and long-lasting.
SQ provides stability and continuity. What good is evolution if has not
effect on the next generation? I don't feel that one is more important
than the other. They seem to work in tandum, or atl east a never-ending
cycle of change - static latch - change - static latch - change. I
don't see why "halves" is not a "proper" analogy.

I guess its my turn to be unsure of what you're saying here. My point
was, post-rational mystical insight into reality is commonly a personal
occurance (seeing the light). That being the case, how does a
self-proclaimed mystic convey something like this to the squad
accurately?
