David to Andre:

I liked your writing however how does someone do something 'non-mediated and non-intellectual'?

Andre:
Thank you David, It seems to me that what Pirsig is getting at is the non-doing that gets the results. Remember the example of Poincare? Remember also the learning that Herrigel went through as described in his 'Zen in the Art of Archery'? ' Do you now understand', the Master asked me one day after a particularly good shot, 'what I mean by 'IT shoots,' IT hits'?'...At this point archery, considered the unmoved movement, the undanced dance, passes over into Zen' (pp 61 and 65 respectively.

The artist doesn't place the brush...IT (DQ) places the brush. At least this is my understanding.
