Western history is also wrought by war. The
Chinese also were wrought by war, especially in the
noted Warring States Period around the time of
Confucius. The Chinese also were penetrated by the
Mongols and wars with Tibet occurred to for extended
periods of time. The Chinese were and still are
patrilineal I believe. War with males, asks for more
males to war against for the strength and testosterone
asked for by war. Of course, some women meet these
demands of war too, but I'm trying to bridge my view
towards what you mention above as Eve needing to be
around due to her social and biological needs. Lila
would fit into more situations, but Lilith might be
feared. Eve is asked to submit to what is happening,
but unlike Lila, Eve can not leave - Eve must go on.
Sadly, it seems Eve is the battered wife who can't
leave her husband for some seemingly irrational
reason. Lilith fought back, and then left.
I'm wondering about male monks. Females
traditionally in many cultures did the cooking and
cleaning. Then male monks had to do these activities
as well. The strong mighty warrior standing next to a
Zen monk, what might the perceptions have been,
especially of the mighty male warrior of the monk? I
do know some Tea Masters in Japan centuries ago would
have been able to host to samurai warriors during war
time along with woman. The beauty in the tea house
saw no delineations and all were equal during such
ceremonies, and here Lilith shows up were all are
welcome.
Do you see Lila (in Pirsig's Lila) the same as
Lilith before Adam tried to strip her of her
nonduality? I noticed you'll mention Lila as the mad
witch and Lilith as the prostitute (as conceived by
the misconceptional duality thinking western culture).

I asked my wife these questions and she said no.
She said, "Haven't studies shown males are more
structurally minded and females more intuitively
minded." Are these studies correct?

Yes, the creative feminine poetic aspect writing
novels and elegantly chanting inspirations that
captivated many sailors throughout history. Where the
song and music can be structured into a chorus and the
unspoken intuitiveness in the song still inspires the
singers in their individual ways.

Instead of parts, components these levels can be
understood as where the walk is in tune with the
whistle.

Yes, thus, the uncreative, isolating push that
western philosophy has injected into society were
morals and values are dim lighted. Lilith needs to be
seen and Pirsig, I believe, attempts this with Lila
'unearthed' to be seen as never truly gone.
