Arlo and Platt,
Both of you brought up "How would we know" type comments. Arlo said "we
know" and Platt mentioned how it is not comprehended. Now both of you pulled
quotes and Arlo you mentioned generalities. They fit. They both fit. Yet, I
don't know what your thinking and trying to say. Not what Pirsig or the Shiva
is saying. I'm mean Arlo and Platt. If the step in this process calls for
this contribution by the two of you, then so be it. We are all putting forth
an effort here. All of us are. We are each playing our part, and as a whole
we are pushing the envelope and how the outcome evolves will be due to how much
we heed our thoughts and listen to our motivations. We heed these without
holding back when it calls for us to do something and not to hold hold back.
I'm talking about action.
woods,
SA
