How many male dictators do what they do because they Fear women? How many do what they do because they feel inadequate in some social or biological sense? Why do Muslim women have to exist in a culture which insists they become hidden objects? Fertile ground for SQ-SQ enquiry, Joe! Fertile ground.
Hi Mark and All,
I have been away fighting my computer. I lost and it drove me to tears. I think the hardest for me to accept was: something broke, and I did not realize it, nor know how to fix it! Now I am writing to people. Are my opinions those of a bull in a china shop? I use Mark's statement as a reminder of the power of the MOQ. All science and inquiry is changed in the face of the MOQ. Am I an idiot before Pirsig? For myself I accepted "an instinctive sensing of reality" from reading Gurdjieff's books in 1972. I recently reread Joseph Campbell's 'The Hero With a Thousand Faces'. I think now I see 'mystical' as a clearer statement of my experience than 'instinctive', in spite of Platt's disparagement of the 'monomyth'. Is 'instinctive' a bad word? 'Instinctive' does not seem to imply dynamic quality. When I plopped out of my Mom's womb and took my first breath, evolution occurred and I mystically learned Da! Da!
