Dear Paul,
You asked 17 Apr 2003 17:46:51 +0100:
'Is it possible to move beyond 'thinking' from within a Metaphysics and from
memory to a more dynamic form of
intelligence?'
Yes, by practicing mystical religion or art. Both are suggested as such by
Pirsig in 'Lila'.
See for instance chapter 5, where he discusses mysticism's objections to
metaphysics.
Or chapter 9: 'mystic learning ... tries to hold to the ongoing Dynamic edge
of all experience, both positive and negative, even the Dynamic ongoing edge
of thought itself' and 'The purpose of mystic meditation is not to remove
oneself from experience but to bring one's self closer to it by eliminating
stale, confusing, static, intellectual attachments of the past.'
In chapter 13: 'there's a fourth Dynamic morality which isn't a code. He
supposed you could call it a "code of Art" or something like that'.
And in chapter 30: 'The Metaphysics of Quality identifies religious
mysticism with Dynamic Quality.'
But ... describing ways to move to more dynamic intelligence requires ...
thinking from within a metaphysics and referring to memory of past
experience of dynamic intelligence.
With friendly greetings,
Wim
