>> So the quote that gets more at what I am interested in is this
>> pg227 Chap 15
>> "Sometimes between sleep and waking there's a zone where
>> the mind gets a glimpse of old active subconscious worlds."
>> So I guess my question is what is this zone?
DMB says:
Edgar Allen Poe used to keep himself in this twilight zone as inspiration
for his fiction.
Erin: I was thinking imagination is important for
this zone.
Patrick:>'Sometimes you don't know you don't know the reason
why you're (un)happy about something.' (that's twice 'you don't know')
To relate this to your Lila-passage, the mind at first DID receive input
from the subconscious realm, but used it in the wrong way, which wasn't
intended by the subconscious. Just a mis-communication. An AHA-erlebnis
or an experience of dynamic quality can 'tune' the communication between
the levels (intellectual and biological) on some later moment again.
>ike our friend Robert says in
>Zen (more or less, can't remember it precisely): when truth is knocking
>at your backdoor, you don't let him in, and you keep on watching for it
>out of your front-window.
Erin:
I think this is quote is interesting.
Because I thought this zone was about seeing
paradoxical truth.
Also when you mentioned psychoanalysis you made
me wonder if hypnosis is at all related.
Pirsig wasn't hypnotized obviously but he
was talking about trying to hold on to what
was happening because if he became more awake
or more asleep he would forget.
Okay I guess we can hit the off button for this topic.
