[MD] Pirsig's revenge

[Andre Broersen]

Marsha to Andre:
Very literal interpretation, indeed!

Andre:
It seems to me a high quality endeavour to be as clear as possible
about Bodvar's SOL and your allegiance to it because Bodvar is, at
times speaking in confused riddles due to English being his second (?)
language. But then again, so is mine.

Marsha:
Here's two possible truths: The MoQ represents simply a static
intellectual pattern and the MoQ represents an ultimate Quality
reality (Emptiness).

Andre:
I like the way you use the word 'represents'.It is a key word in this context.

The MoQ does not represent but IS a static intellectual pattern of quality.

The MoQ does NOT represent an ultimate Quality reality. (The Tao that
can be named is not the eternal Tao).
The MoQ represents DQ/SQ... from a 'conventional perspective.( the
names of the ten thousand things).It is the  finger pointing.

>From a dynamic perspective the MoQ does not exist.

Marsha:
I am learning to LOVE paradox...

Andre:
So do I, but not to spout at any Tom, Dick, Harry or Mary's response.
The paradox challenges us to find its complementary basis thereby,
hopefully, leading us to a bit of wisdom. It's not to be used in an
obstructionist way but to understand things, and their relationships
better, so that the quality improves.

Marsha:
p.s.  Much of the aim of the Mahayana variety is to break down the
illusion that subject and objects exist independently.   SOM must be
seen as a problem there too.

Andre:
That is why I do not understand your allegiance to the SOL. SOM has
been a problem (metaphysically) but Mr.Pirsig through the MoQ has
rectified this (at least metaphysically).

And I could be wrong too.

Kind regards
Andre
