Dynamic/Static, subject/object, I think I'm noticing the dynamic/static 
qualites when I use the terms subject/object.

Can we also use term 'the middle way' from Buddhism?  Is that appropriate?

I thought Pirsig's said that the problem arrises from regarding SOM as THE
fundamental metaphysical distinction. He does not say that there is no such
distinction only that the static/dynamic distinction comes first. The
interplay of the static and the dynamic is as much at work in subjective
space as it is in the world of objects. 

My take on Naragjuna is that he argued that it is just as wrong to focus on
the transcendental world of mysticism as it is to be caught up in the grimy
world of the everyday. They both matter.
