Polarity vs. Orientation

[zenmaster]

These statements seem incompatible: "All judgment to me is value judgment," "You really don't make any distinction between qualification and evaluation?" I'm trying to understand your terms and the way you use them. Does judgment = qualification and value judgment = evaluation? If so, it would seem that you're the one not distinguishing between qualification and evaluation.

Judgment is evaluation- or as Ra says, a faculty. Qualification is applied evaluation, as in ethical considerations (relative merits). There really is a difference.

Or in the sense of the magnet analogy, not only is there nothing to qualify, there is nothing to evaluate with regards to polarity. Because you don't have both poles for comparison. There is only one actual 'pole', with the other created by 'the universe'.

It seems like this is the heart of the disagreement. A magnet has two poles, north and south or positive and negative. That's the point of the analogy.

Yes, a magnet has two poles. So with negative or positive polarity, you have one pole. Do you see? Where is the other pole?
