Mark M,
Scott prev:
Intellect is the Dynamic evolving of the repertoire.
The words "Dynamic" and "Static" apply to Intellect in
the same way they apply to Quality.
[and]
Original thinking creates new static patterns. The MOQ
vocabulary of
"responding to DQ" is unnecessarily strained,
traceable, I believe, to
Pirsig's unfortunate reading of mysticism (which
treats intellect as
"covering up" some supposedly pure "preintellectual"
experience).
Mark said:
Thanks again. This gets to the root of the matter
methinks.
I appreciate and respect your position Scott.
You feel Pirsig has misread mysticicm, and if he had
read it better there would be no need for DQ?
Scott:
There is still a need for DQ, but its relation to SQ would be understood
differently, as is to be found in the phrase from the Heart Sutra: form is
not other than formlessness, formlessness is not other than form.
