Yes, there is a wide variety of static interpretations and depictions of the
mystical experience. So what? The MOQ is a form of Philosophical mysticism,
one that adopts the perennial philosophy, which accepts and celebrates that
variety of expressions. The only ones who have a problem with that are the
ones who insist on a single exclusive version, which is one of the major
reasons Pirsig rejects theism, because theisms are exclusive.
Scott:
They used to be exclusive, but a growing body of theists have ceased to be.
So it seems to me that someone who is not just non-theist but anti-theist,
and who believes in the falsehood that "faith is the willingness to believe
in falsehoods" is the exclusivist these days.
