Confusion as DQ/SQ intellectual tension: Confusion may
be seen as a situation requiring explanation that
surpasses your intellectual repertoire of concepts or
ambiguously calls to consciousness more than one
explanation. It could be seen as static intellectual
patterns resisting Dynamic intuition or insight? I
think Zen koans deliberately work on this basis? It
also has echoes of Pirsig's 'stuckness'.
I have a post on the MOQ forum itself ready to send as
well.
cheers

Hi Paul,
I agree. I feel it is always a good move to introduce personal experience
into the forum. However, what i mean by this is to give an example with which
others may relate and find helpful, and not as a way of displaying knowledge or
elitism.
With regard to confusion as DQ/SQ tension, i have found that it can be most
helpful to ask oneself a question and then immediately forget about it.
Something usually turns up, but it usually turns up at a most inconvenient moment,
like on the edge of sleep, or driving a car, or washing the dishes, or walking
through a wood. If you don't remember the resolution, it may be that you have
to wait sometime before it hits you again!
A component of this i feel is a calm mental attitude.
all the best,
squonk
