Andre: Hi Willblake2, I do believe I did go overboard with too many questions. One can make the simplest game very complicated and the most complicated game very simple. It all depends on one's static patterns. I like it where Pirsig says somewhere that the less you think about quality the clearer and most obvious it becomes. He did give us a treasure, the full dimensions and implications of which we have only started to scratch and explore. I am not sure whether your post actually contained a question (there are so many question marks)? Re the confident job interview and the MoQ? You've got nothing to lose and everything to gain. The experience of quality is a wonderful thing regardless of 'setting'. It has to do with living in the moment. I am convinced.

The job interview was just an example, fortunately I do not have to experience that right now. In my thinking, what I experience is processed by my brain (fontal cortex, if you wish), which allows me to share it, with myself and with others through the very porous net of language. Even if it takes less than a second (or thousands of nanoseconds), it is reflective, and highly processed. In that way, thinking is living in the past. However, the mind provides a feedback towards either re-experiencing or avoiding that feeling of Now. In this way, behavioral aspects of philosophy are useful to me for providing the signposts to stay on the Quality Now path. Since Quality does seem to have notion of better or worse, and I do certainly want to live in high Quality, I am looking for such signposts which will help me in the intellectual feedback. I have seen many people walk down the Now path and become meth addicts or alcoholics, avaricious, satanists, Moonies... While this is all fine for them and really makes no difference, I have other ambitions. I am not talking of a religion full of rules, but some ways of experiencing Quality, which arise out of MoQ, as an essence or driving force.
