    Dear NB,

    >> I'd like to learn more on the concept of quality vs. quantity. This
    question kept crossing my mind those last days, and I just saw the topic
    mentionned on one of Rawn's answwers today again. Could anybody tell me
    where I can find more details on it ? <<

    I've never run into anything that gives "details". I suggest that you
    meditate upon the concept of defining a quality and its quantity.

    By 'quality' we mean a thing's essence -- its essential nature or
    essential meaning. By 'quantity' we mean the amount of the quality
    which is manifest. For example, 'red' is a *quality* of light. If it's
    a very pale red, then the *quantity* of red could be described as "low"
    or "small". But if it's a bright, vibrant !RED!, then its *quantity*
    could be described a "high" or "great". 'Quantity' is a relative
    measurement of the degree of intensity with which a 'quality' is
    manifest.

    In my earlier remarks about the difference between the eternal and the
    temporal, I spoke of *now* as a quality which manifests as different
    quantities. By "*now*", I mean the quality of immediacy of experience,
    sensation and awareness. Here in the temporal realm, that immediacy of
    experience is infinitely finite -- it has an infinitely finite
    duration -- and can thus be described as having a very (infinitely)
    small quantity. In the eternal realm however, that immediacy of
    experience is infinitely infinite -- it encompasses an infinite duration
    within itself -- and can thus be described as having an infinite
    quantity. In both cases, the *quality* is exactly the same, but the
    *quantity* of that quality differs.

    My best to you,
    :) Rawn Clark
