ERIN: I think it would be good discuss- it might shed some light on why it
was so hard to agree about the intellectual level.
I think it might be good if Scott would explain (or refer a good book) on the
differerence between central and differential mysticism.
Differential mysticism reminds me of postmodernism which also reminds me of
the MOQ. I think centric mysticism was what Pirsig was describing when he was
talking about mystics and science. I think he deconstructed both of their
myths. As for all the responses you noted --I would like to note that some
responses were SOM based but not all of postmodernism can be lumped with them.
