hey heather and all,

understanding the 'tat tvam asi' concept is
fundamental to understanding pirsig and the MOQ.

we ARE the universe because we are infinite and there
is only one infinite, comprendez?

equally of course everything we perceive is the whole
universe because everything is infinite.

atoms exist only as ideas, not as phenomena.
perception is fractal and of infinite depth of detail.

we are, along with everything else, also PART of the
universe. we are *simultaneously* part and whole. we
are also composed of parts that are wholes themsleves
also (eg organs, tissues, cells).

the universe is an organism, not a machine. organisms
communicate instantaneously. they are quantum coherent
systems.  mae wan-ho has done a lot of work here: see
'the rainbow and the worm'.

therefore we see a universe in which everything has
maximal freedom and maximal cohesion. everything is an
autonomous whole and a totally integrated part,
simultaneously.
