And the answer to your final question is yes (did you expect otherwise?).

Mari (me) asks Platt in an email if there has ever been any discussion ( in
the MoQdg ) of near death or out of body experiece. 22Nov02/06:11am

Hi Mari:
I don't recall anyone talking about near death or out of body
experiences, at least at any length. So I think it would be a great
subject to introduce, perhaps relating it to Pirsig's discussion of peyote
and "vision quests" in Chapter 3 of Lila.
Mari says:
So what exactly IS "mystical experience"?
peyote? near death experience? out of body experience? prayer? meditation?
other? God?
Has anyone in this discussion group had one or more "mystical experience"?
What were/are the consequences of the "ME"
Did Pirsig or Phaedrus have the peyote experience in Lila?
Is it possible to write/talk (with authority) about "ME" if one has never
had one?
i think this is enough splashing around for my first leap into the
discussion pool.
