    it might be interesting to discuss the interconvertability of mysticism and metaphysics in a more thorough way. I was thinking, for example, that the question is somewhat clarified in Lila. In the MOQ we can say that the mystical One is Dynamic, while metaphysical monisms are static intellectual descriptions of the Dynamic - or something like that. That's the difference.

    Matt:
    Makes sense to me. The ZMM part is a precursor to Pirsig's point in Lila that the MoQ is a contradiction in terms. Because the MoQ is still a metaphysics that is a monism--Quality. But as a metaphysical monism it includes both metaphysical monisms and mystical Ones. The self-reference bit merely reinforces the futility of defining the undefinable.
