[MD] Christendom's place in the MOQ

[craigerb at comcast.net]

[Ham]> I would submit that not only is there no "separation of the individual> from the universe", there is no distinction between them.  The universe is> [described by Pirsig] as patterns of inorganic, biological, social, and> intellectual "morality", and so is the "experiencer".  The MoQ admits to no> individuality apart from patterns and levels.  Universal Quality is the> agency, not man or his sensibility.
[Ham, recomstructed]

1) The universe is patterns of inorganic, biological, social, and intellectual "morality"
2) the [individual] "experiencer" is patterns of inorganic, biological, social, and intellectual "morality"
3) :. there is no distinction between the universe and the individual "experiencer".

This argument is patently invalid.
Compare:
i) London is buildings, streets, parks
ii) Paris is buildings, streets, parks
iii) :. there is no distinction between London & Paris.
