[MD] dangling quote

[118]

Hi Marsha,
Please explain why.

By knowing, are you referring to the intellectual (brain) form of it?
Certainly we know a lot more than that.  If you are speaking of the
communication form of knowing, then the mythos lies beneath that and
is expressed as analogies, it is not an analogy, at least according to
C. Jung.  Certainly spoken or written analogies do not "fill" the
collective consciousness of mankind, at least not if you don't let
them, perhaps Pirsig does.  Analogies are representative, not the real
thing.

Why are you in tune with this quote?

Thanks,
Mark

You know something and then the Quality stimulus hits and then you try to define the Quality stimulus, but to define it all you've got to work with is what you know. So your definition is made up of what you know. It's an analogue to what you already know. It has to be. It can't be anything else. And the mythos grows this way. By analogies to what is known before. The mythos is a building of analogues upon analogues upon analogues. These fill the collective consciousness of all communicating mankind. Every last bit of it."
