Steve: The biggest stumbling block that I come across in explaining the MOQ to others is that people are unwilling to accept the fundamental premise that experience is Quality. I see this as an unprovable axiom. How do you convince others and/or what convinces you that accepting this basic premise is good to do?
Andre: Hi Steve, this is something that has bothered me for some time as well and must readily admit that my 'answer' isn't watertight and I am also very interested to hear other people's suggestion. I am reminded of one of the 'principles' NLP rests on and that is that 'People always behave in the best way they know, given their intentions, which is always self-caring'. I have tried to explain, for myself, what 'motivates/drives me to do things from the simplest movement of my finger to the making of important decisions (sometimes these are conscious, sometimes unconscious) and inevitably I reach the conclusion: because it is better (than the previous 'state'. As Pirsig has said somewhere (don't know where) even getting out of bed is a response to quality i.e it is better to get up (if it isn't you'll stay in bed!). I nearly drove myself banana's once when I constantly asked myself the why question: why am I doing this? why am I doing that? and always came up with the same answer: because this change has more quality (if you like) than the state I was in before. Not sure if this helps but for what it is worth.
