[MD] John's Reading of Absolute Idealism Confirmed by Bob

[John Carl]

Ok, first off, this "Louise Pryor" is my wife.  She was curious about this
forum but didn't want to enter it with all the static baggage that being
wife is and has and wanted to find her own voice.  I guess it's a woman
thing.  I dunno.  Anyway, I'd like to introduce you to Louise Pryor-Carl,
who it would feel weird to respond to in any way but honestly and openly.
 It has a low quality feel as I'm sure you all understand.  A hiding that I
just can't do.
She asks a question of me, that I can't answer.  But since you all are here
and so into Pirsig, it's one I hope you can answer.   I found way more cant
than I was expecting and especially a marked detestation for "Spirit" or
"spiritual" or any of those terms.

Perfectly valid terms when trying to define the ineffable, and perhaps
that's the problem.  But still.  What came across was somebody with a real
grudge, and I wonder if anyone here can answer Lu's question.

I sure cant
