[Ron] Words that use Subject,object and possessive case syntax to describe Mental awareness. Well said.
[Arlo] Absolutely. "As the atomic physicist, Niels Bohr, said, "We are suspended in language." Our intellectual description of nature is always culturally derived." (LILA). Just before, Pirsig sums it up nicely. "Mental patterns do not originate out of inorganic nature. They originate out of society, which originates out of biology which originates out of inorganic nature." (LILA). Elsewhere, Pirsig reminds us that "You may think everything you say and everything you think is just you but actually the language you use and the values you have are the result of thousands of years of cultural evolution. It's all in a kind of debris of pieces that seem unrelated but are actually part of a huge fabric." (LILA) "The language we've inherited confuses this. We say "my" body and "your" body and "his" body and "her" body, but it isn't that way."
