Welcome Gerhard, With ZAMM finished, you are done with the first half of what Pirsig was set up. Lila, though less popular with the general reader, is more rich in what it gives to the reader of Quality and the full first picture of the Metaphisics of Quality (MOQ).
Feldenkrais is a very Dynamic practice and it is useful for you (and a wonderful opportunity) to observe departures from the ordinary, the habitual every day. Watch the unexpected... As to the philosophy in this group, much of it is not what arises from Quality, but rather an attempt on the part of many who understand the world through the Ideas inside-of-which they grew up and how those relate to Quality. Much as how someone who has walked and run their whole life appears as they begin to learn to swim. Limbs first operate in the "dog paddle," which is the familiar land-motion. Later they learn more efficient strokes. Philosophy argued is often personal attempts to filter the new through the old and familiar. (After all, everything we experience we categorize relationally, as biological beings.) It took me the first five or six times reading Lila before I began to get comfortable enough to approach MOQ on its own terms. I hope the effects of your illness abate. good luck, thanks--mel ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gerhard Butscher" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, September 22, 2008 2:29 AM Subject: [MD] Experience Quality > Hi, > > I've read ZAMM and am about to read Lila (in german).
