[MD] William James a wrong track..

Mati to Bodvar:
Imagining situation is part of the reflective understanding of what
emotions are.  I would so very humbly suggest that perhaps the idea of
emotion as strictly social is also a fallout of SOM. Understanding
emotions is I would agree a social phenomenon, but experiencing them
is originally a biological one.

Hi Mati, you confirm what I suggested (and many others) a few posts ago.
No need to be humble about it. What I find so sad about Bodvar's position is
That he has so much to offer the MoQ but fails to do so because he is
stuck in this SOL
of his...and fanatic about his criticism of Pirsig in the process.

The SOL is a straight-jacket. Anyone, including me, who have learned
to understand Bodvar's stance,
and worked themselves out of this position, is criticised and deemed
either SOMist or MoQ fundamentalist.
This is a great shame.

I have said before that the best way to show respect for your teacher
is to criticise him/her.

Bodvar seems oblivious to this, selects those things not conforming to
or confirming his SOL
and you are considered a lesser bean.

I'll repeat that I firmly believe Bodvar has a lot of things to offer
the MoQ. I really respect the man
and the concientiousness with which he tries to promote the MoQ
experience. If only he would be able to remove himself from this SOL
fixation. But, as he has said, he has made it his legacy.

Kind regards
Andre
