[MD] The Hero's journey

[Joseph Maurer]

Hi Matt,

IMHO in a DQ/SQ form of metaphysics I face two problems: EVOLUTION and the
MANIFESTATION of levels in existence.  Pirsig describes a metaphysical DQ/SQ
as order.  

I used the word "acknowledge" instead of "recognize" to emphasize that two
values "order" and "manifestation" are formulated differently.  ORDER
follows an evolutionary paradigm of x levels.  MANIFESTAION follows a
different paradigm of active, passive or neutral  activity.  In any case
"acknowledge" is a throw-away word, and I did not know a word for being
precise in the two directions at once, and I am open to suggestions like
"conundrum".
