MP: I am interested in exploring the otherwise uncontested contention you and
some others hold that MoQ cannot accept even g*d or th*ism, notably where
Pirsig indicates it can the "indeterminant divine."
A mathematician strips a formula of constants, replacing them with variables,
necessarily eliminating the prior form's *value*, but by no means
rendering it
non-existent for having done so. The very act of stripping it of
value in this
manner actually infuses it with greater meaning, makes it more applicable,
broadens its reach and enables discovery of greater implications that would
have otherwise gone unnoticed without the conversion to variables.
This is all I am seeking to explore when I ask that theism be understood as
th*ism, God or god as g*d. I am seeking to explore the reach of Pirsig's
"indeterminant divine" in a cultural context where MoQ has not (and IMO
necessarily cannot be expected to) have a strong cultural acceptance or
foothold by looking to its MoQ evolutionary precursor for a means of
extending
that meaningfully into MoQ on its non-MoQ level.
While MoQ'ers may believe that MoQ has no place for God, god or even g*d, it
is not a very practical means of evolution even if infallible. The
first human to
have the intellectual DQ spark that led to society would not have
been worth her
weight in salt had she refused to work with those who hadn't yet had such a
spark. I'd wager she interacted with them in ways that led them to innately
recognize the worth of her DQ event rather than present them with a
"my way or
the highway" ultimatum.
Michael,
Are you trying to make me feel guilty for not playing by your
rules? I will not respond again to your posts.
Marsha
