Pirsig seems to be ignoring his own warning about confusing the MOQ meaning
of "dynamic" and "static" with the way the words are used in physics. There
is nothing Dynamic, in the MOQ sense, in jumping off the stove. Instead, it
is the body following the static biological pattern, called a reflex.
Hi Scott, Dan and all,
joe: in me the organic, social, and intellectual values are only different
in awareness. I am not three people. While my place in the moral order is
established by levels of value there is no moral order in me between my
organic, social or intellectual facilities. My toenails can be as worrisome
as my heart.
I acknowledge the basis for a moral hiearchy from the organic, social and
intellectual patterns of value in my awareness. My awareness, tuned by
value, is my conscience. Preservation as well as creation or destruction
can be a characteristic of Dynamic Quality in a MoQ sense. I am dynamic
jumping off a hot stove with the speed of a biological reflex.
I can confuse or ignore the input of brains that can recognize value. I
confuse a tension and divide it into an organic, social or intellectual
configuration. I see the tension only in my awareness. In this way the
mystic can choose a morality for himself. Self-mutilation and annihilation
in the name of self-betterment have had many practitioners.
Joe
