I would rather see it put that the MOQ is AN ATTEMPT at a rational
definition of mysticism. Looking again at the quote...
Page 377 "..once this integration occurs and DQ is identified with
religious mysticism it produces an avalanche of information as to what
DQ is."
...perhaps it will be seen that if Dynamic Quality is identified with
religious mysticism it becomes impossible to define said mysticism in static
quality (rational) terms. Still, to reach this Dynamic state of being
requires a series of static latches involving all four levels, which may
involve meditation, chanting, fasting, etc. But in the end those who search
for rational explanations of mysticism will be disappointed for there are
none. This is Pirsig's controlled folly, in my opinion.
All in all a very high Quality post though, David. Thank you for sharing
your thoughts.
Best wishes
