To Ham from Alice

Speaking of Pirsig:
"He explains physical reality as
> the creation of experience, but his readers are left to infer that "mind" 
> or
> self-awareness is an insignificant, accidental by-product of biological
> evolution."

I wonder if this is  your inference because of your particular point of 
view. Insignificant is not the same as accidental and I have my doubts as to 
whether anyone, including Pirsig, thinks self awareness is insignificant.

""Self" is that non-empirical identity which becomes
> aware of the essential Source as differentiated otherness."

And may I assume that the essential Source you are refering to is God?
