[MD] dualism redux

[david buchanan]

Kevin Perez said:
...Again from my point of view, nondualistic thought and behavior is any 
approach to reality that realizes the oneness of reality.  Mystical is a 
good description.  And the Quality that the MoQ points to is this.  But the 
MoQ is not this.

dmb says:
Right. Dualisms always violate that mystical oneness, but we can't have a 
metaphysical system or even a coherent thought without them. The nature of 
words and concepts is such that they require distinctions and this means we 
generally think in pairs of opposites. Thus dualisms abound. In the case of 
the MOQ, the central duality exists as opposed forms of Quality; static and 
dynamic. Pirsig makes note of the inherent contradiction in trying to 
construct an intellectual description of a mystical reality, to divide the 
undivided. Despite the legitimate objections of the mystics, he decides to 
be naughty and do it anyway. And I suppose that if we properly heed the 
warning about the limits of conceptualizaton, then maybe its not that 
naughty after all.
