Greetings,

"Roger, or anyone, Is there anything else really significant
to the MOQ.
Why not drop the levels? Pirsig's only -- however amazing -- contribution is that
reality is patterns. They are experienced. Leave it at that!!!"

Fine, but!! If what you say is correct, then there is nothing new or amazing about the MoQ. You put
forward a strand of mysticism that is over five thousand years old and suggest that Pirsig is merely
restating it. I'm not saying you are wrong or right here, I'm simply pointing out that if the
corollary of 'Lila' is as you say it is, then (on a philosophical level at least) the whole book was
utterly pointless. Sadly, this is a corollary which sums up the vast majority of contributions this
week - it would seem that many agree with you, whether they realise it or not.
