First of all, I'm pretty sure that "blind spot" is Pirsig's phrase. I've
been harping on it because I think the MOQ can't be properly understood
without mysticism. I usually speak in unequivical terms for the sake of
clarity, but I pretty much have no doubt about this assertion. See, the
existence of this blind spot in Western culture IS the loss of mysticism.
Mysticism is exactly what we can't see.
I'm totally with you here DMB. Mysticism, for me, is that place
between the East and the West--it's were all the *teachings* translate
into one another. It's not a literal place.

"The life of a warrior cannot possibly be cold and lonely and without
feelings because it is based on his affection, his devotion, his
dedication to his beloved. And who, you may ask, is his beloved?
This earth, this world. For a warrior there can be no greater love."
