[MD] Ham thinks the MOQ is a form of phenomenalism now called Death Path

[Heather Perella]

Marsha and Ham, 

     [Marsha quoting Pirsig]
> While sustaining biological and social patterns
> Kill all intellectual patterns.
> Kill them completely
> And then follow Dynamic Quality
> And morality will be served."
>                                (Lila, Chapter 32)


     Marsha, every time you quote this, I feel good. 
This is an excellent summation of how I behave.
     
     [Ham]
     And, while evolution may be of interest to the
biologist, just as the record of societal development
is to the historian, such transitional 
perspectives have no significant relevance to
Essentialism.


     This is just another showing, Ham, of how your
thesis narrows in scope, or does it?  It doesn't
account for biology and society.  Yet, as you said and
I quote you, "'Happenings upon the earth' occur
constantly, and always have, but commenting on them
does not happen to be my philosophical purpose."  And
yet, the earth is here, and your thesis can't include
it?
     Also I quote you again Ham as follows:  "I'll
have to go outside tomorrow and see if there's any
society left."  And yet, you will see society, and
your thesis can't include it?
     These are two huge apparent chunks of life that
we humans encounter daily and nightly, and your thesis
shines no light on them.

     Now, this is why, Ham, I've taken the Death Path
when I read your comments.  Your thesis kills a lot of
stuff, in other words, your thesis treats certain
'things' as if they aren't even here.  This approach
happens in Hinduism.  Buddhism tends to not be very
attached to the earth and society, too.  Even Christ
thought he had to be sacrificed to get the results he
was looking for, and so we have the Death Path.

     So, Ham, I'm not sure if your thesis is
narrow-minded, or so wide in scope that what may be
big to our eyes, is actually small when in light of
the Death Path.
     

     Kill, Kill, Kill, and be the Lord of Death and
see all is a sacrifice.  This is the rhythm and strut
we walk on the Death Path.  Kill! Kill! Kill!
     (I imagine a beat harmonizing in the last
sentence.)  

     And this is when being too literal is immoral. 
This is why art and metaphor have such splendor and
flexibility in talking about what is happening to All
here in this universe.

Thanks,
SA
