Dear colleagues,
I would feel more comfortable eliminating the words "mystic" or "mystical". It
seems, IMHO, that what Pirsig and we are speaking of are the experiences of
seeing without the filters of societal programming, nothing more. These are
the miracles of everyday life that we so seldom see merely because we have
been taught from an early age to wear lenses of limited reason.
