Now, please stop me, Diana, if I'm wrong about this, but it sounds to me like you're pushing back against an implied dis-topian construct where everyone drinks the Q'uol-aid and becomes mushy in their communal acceptance, unable to distinguish themselves because their personal drives have essentially been neutered.
I don't get that vibe from the Q'uo passage. I hear them saying that one ought not get worked up about the status of your work, but about the quality of it. It's about accepting and working with what's in front of you right now to "deal" with because this--we suppose--reflects what that dis-incarnate aspect of you wanted you to accept and work with in this incarnation. They're advising, pay attention to the lessons involved, not to the worldly value of the cards you happen to be holding . What are the lessons?
