[MD] Freedom within structure.

I can't make much of his [Pirsig's] claim "To the extent that you perceive dynamic quality, you make your own life." To what extent _do_ we perceive dynamic quality? How could we behave so as to perceive more or less of it? If dynamic quality is the leading edge of experience, how does anyone _not_ perceive it?  ..Why does he [Pirsig's] see perception rather than will as the key to human freedom where most philosophers of the past have been concerned with a particular sort of the capacity to choose? Unfortunately, rather than shed light one the matter, for me this quote just muddles things further.
