Hi Chin,
Thanks for your thoughtful and reasoned response, and your genuine
attempt to understand what I am saying.
Let me hasten to add however that I have no idea whether or not my
current way of thinking is any more "right" than many of the
alternate views expressed here in the forum, including your own
mystical/philosophical inclinations. My way, for me, for now, seems
to provide me with satisfactory explanations of the world around me.
But that could change, and probably will.
As far as I'm concerned, no one can be "out of line" in their
thinking except, perhaps, when their thinking leads to action that
results in the misery of others. So, please, I welcome your
interaction here, and will read your posts with the attention and
respect they deserve. I'm sure every contributer to this list feels
the same way.
Best,
Mark Steven Heyman (msh)

Hi msh,
I understand where you are coming from here, as what you are stating
is object over subject.
The subjective view is a distortion of the objective view, mind is
only an accumulation of knowledge gained from experience.
It does seem this is the path Pirsig took, so I imagine MOQ would
depend on it, and since I am on a MOQ forum, I would be the one out
of line in my thinking.
I'll continue to read to see if I can make sense of the empirical
thinking, and will admit to being more of a mystic in my philosophy,
and even in my reality, as I do feel I still have a strong
relationship with the spirits of my forefathers. This static pattern
will possibly always make up a major philosophical difference in the
way I view the world.
We'll just see what comes about.
Chin
