[MD] Social Imposition ?

[ARLO J BENSINGER JR]

[Arlo had quoted Pirsig]
Religion isn’t invented by man. Men are invented by religion. Men invent
responses to Quality, and among these responses is an understanding of what
they themselves are. You know something and then the Quality stimulus hits and
then you try to define the Quality stimulus, but to define it all you’ve got
to work with is what you know. So your definition is made up of what you know.
It’s an analogue to what you already know. It has to be. It can’t be
anything else. And the mythos grows this way. By analogies to what is known
before. The mythos is a building of analogues upon analogues upon analogues.
These fill the collective consciousness of all communicating mankind. Every
last bit of it.

I spent the last 20 minutes searching for the word "mind" in the above passage.
Perhaps you can point out to me.

If you'd read ZMM, you would know that a few lines earlier, still talking about
the mythos, Pirsig wrote "What keeps the world from reverting to the
Neanderthal with each generation is the continuing, ongoing mythos, transformed
into logos but still mythos, the huge body of common knowledge that unites our
minds as cells are united in the body of man. To feel that one is not so
united, that one can accept or discard this mythos as one pleases, is not to
understand what the mythos is."

Hopefully it won't take you 20 minutes to find the word "mind" here.
