ERIN: THAT WS THE POINT OF MY MARTHA STEWART EXAMPLE. IT IS IMPORTANT FOR HER
TO SEPARATE THE TWO SHADES OF OFF-WHITE, IT IS NOT IMPORTANT TO ME.

ERIN: NO BECAUSE PIRSIG HAS GIVEN US THE TERM, DESCRIBED IT, BUT NOT EVERYBODY
UNDERSTANDS IT SO THEY DO NOT SEE THE DHARMAKAYA LIGHT. GIVING SOMEBODY A TAG
IS NOT ENOUGHT THEY NEED TO SEE THE DIFFERENCE OF THE NEW TAG AND THE OLD TAG.
TO STOP THE THREAD GOING IN CIRCLES, YOU NEED TO EXPLAIN THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN DHARMAKAYA LIGHT AND LIGHT. IF YOU DON'T THE TERM IS GOING TO BE
"THROWN OUT" FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT SEE IT.
