I understand perfectly well that I am inside a culture, but what the MOQ means (to me) is tearing myself loose from the Western SOM (intellectual level) culture, to enter the Quality Culture. > We may only understand the world through culture But western culture is > not the only culture. >From my first comment you will see that I regard the levels as the biggest cultural concept there is, but within the levels there are countless sub-cultures. Even at the biological level we speak about bacteria cultures ..etc.. The Western culture is the one where intellectual level dominates but it surely has many sub- and sub-sub-sets. Likewise there is one major culture where social value dominates and just as many sub-sets. This is no fixed order, my Norway was social-focussed (religion-dominated) a mere century ago. > The root of human experience is what Pirsig refers to As > pre-intellectual, and through this we may transcend Our cultural > differences. Pre-intellect in the MOQ means the social level. If you mean the "pre-intellect" of ZAMM, it's existence's dynamic component. We can certainly transcend intellect (in its SOM capacity) to reach the MOQ culture .... or variations thereof, as I believe (Pirsig saying) the Oriental cultures are. > It is culture which can bind us, it is culture which may blind us .
