Greetings
Hope I'm not breaking any rules here by making my initial foray into
MOQ-land. I have been reading all of your comments for a month or so
now and I detect (a) searching and thinking people, and (b) intellectualism.
I know both, for I have been both. My name is Grant.
The name of the game is QUALITY, remember? The METAPHYSICS
of Quality. Quality of life. How do we achieve that? That is the question.
Discovering a way to live a quality-filled life is the object of the exercise.
I spent the first half of my life asking the question "what is the meaning
of life". Eventually I realized that that's too big a question. A better
question is "how can I put meaning into life". That is one which can be
answered.
Yes, I am attempting to disrupt the intellectualism which is all to
evident in this forum. To disrupt all of *OUR* 8-trak tape-loop thinking. The
secret is to think in different terms, or better yet, follow Yoda's advice and
"don't think, DO!". We all have to learn how to silence the "internal
dialogue". It works against us. And yes, I confess, I spoke French. :-)
That is what Persig attempted to do by engaging in the motorcycle trip,
driven by instinct [THE FORCE], that silent knowing. Get out there in the
real world (such as it is, I know, it's a bitch) and feel the wind, soak up the
sunshine, try to form a connection with your kids, and discover your true
self.
Put yourself on the line and commit, give it your all.
That's what it's all about, finding the "totality of oneself".
Recommend you troop to the book store and investigate Carlos
Castenada. That'll twist your brain.
Yours in the struggle, Grant
