Pirsig has the Inorganic level as the lowest level. But is there one
below it? One that 'produces' or creates the inorganic?
In Buddhism, for example, this level, if it exists, is called Dharmakaya
(the 'Body of Being') or Sunyata (Void). Carl Jung called it the Plenum
(a 'full vacuum.') It is supposed to be an infinite void, infinitely
rich, that 'produces' the material universe. Gopi Krishna, in a mystical
experience he had, 'saw' the material universe as but a thin 'film' on
top of this infinite void, much as the surface of the ocean is but a
thin film.
Physics seem to be heading in this direction, although the theories are
changing so rapidly I can barely keep up with them.
