Diana - great post about Jarret and writing - I'm the same way as a
playwright. Or at least most of the time. My best work comes when I
get out of the way of the creative process - meaning that I let the
images flow from the Creative Spirit (ether, God, Life...or whatever
name you wish to insert). The times I think I know best and try to
force the creation to fit into my pre-concieved mold are the times
the
work seems forced (only right, isn't it?)
Glenn - thanks for taking my post in the spirit it was proffered. My
only comment is in regards to your statement "So do
me a favor and "sniff" the next time you read passages from Lila,
especially when he's bashing SOM. Maybe you'll start smelling what I
smell." - My goal when I read Lila (or any other book/metaphysical
treatise, etc) is to try on whatever they have to offer and see what
happens. I don't think Pirsig's theories are the "end all/be all" of
life or understanding reality, but they did give me much to think
about. I don't think any of us can fully understand reality/life/the
universe/etc, because it is beyond us and includes that which is
beyond our possible experience as physical/mortal beings. The best
we
can do is to do our best to understand and grow. I think too many
folks get too hung up on proving their opinions about what is
right/true/real and forget to consider that which is outside their
comfort zones. Lord knows that I'm guilty of that far too often -
but
I'm doing my best :o)
Be Good
Shalom
