Roger Jumps In On Maggies Observation on Mind/Matter
Maggie Writes:
<<<< the problem is this statement:
"Mind is contained in static inorganic patterns.
Matter is contained in static intellectual patterns."
I have wondered whether this statement is backwards.
Shouldn't it be:
"Matter is contained in static inorganic patterns.
Mind is contained in static intellectual patterns."
At some point, I scribbled an answer, "No, this shows the
inter-connectedness," but right now I can't see it.

Roger Responds:
I find this as one of his most illuminating statements. Mind is connected to
the inorganic patterns that form our brain, and what we call matter is an
intellectual pattern. All is intellectual, yet all is materialistic.
Today I was thumbing through my decomposingly over-read copy of Lila and I saw
a related statement....
>>>>>...there is no substance anywhere in the world nor has there ever
been.>>>>
I continue to be surprised by the comments by Lila Squaders that seem to give
special credence to the materialistic, inorganic level. All is intellectual,
all is inorganic, all is social, all is biological........ All is VALUE.
I also continue to be amazed by people not seeing the brilliance of the levels
(Rob) :-) Knowing what Pirsig has taught us may not change whether we turn
right or left at the next stop sign, but it sure makes the stop sign and the
action shine with Quality.
All is Good
