Hi all,  

I have been reading from: Psychological Commentaries
On the Teaching of G. I. Gurdjieff and P. D. Ouspensky by
Maurice Nicoll. Vol I, p 48.

At one time Nicoll was one of Jung's students.

"Man stands between two---an external visible world that enters
the senses and is shared by everyone: and an internal world that
none of his senses meets, which is shared by no one---that is,
the approach to it is uniquely individual, for although all the people
in the world can observe you, only you can observe yourself.  This
Internal world is the second 'reality', and is invisible.

If you doubt that this second reality exists ask yourself the question:
Are my thoughts, feelings, sensations, my fears, hopes, disappointments,
my joys, my desires, my sorrows, real to me?  If, of course, you say that
they are not real, and that only the table and the house that you can see
with your outer eyes are real, then 'self-observation' will have no meaning
to you.  Let me ask you: in which world of reality do you live and have your
being?  In the world outside you, revealed by your senses, or in the world
no one sees, and only you can observe---this inner world?  I think you will
agree that it is in this inner world that you really live all the time, and
feel and suffer."  

IMO Persig would place dq/sq only in this inner world, MOQ, which is more
real than SOM, by including the internal as well as the external.
