A bridge from the West to the East - Yes - but if - as Pirsig says - the
Orientals had had an encounter with the intellectual level *) before
going on to some Quality-like insight they need no bridge, its us who
need it, they know what's it like to be trapped in intellect-as-SOM
...and also that their Qualitlook like mysticism. y-like stance must
*) Pirsig says "creating an intellectual level of their own" (allegedly a
non-S/O one) but that would be like creating a biological level that's
not life. Life on other planets may be not be based on carbon, yet is
"biology", this goes for the inorganic and social levels too, thus the
intellectual level - be it in Greece, India or Proxima Centaurus has to
be the Subject/Object distinction, lest it is seen as a mind with
different ideas, but if so it's back in SOM.

OBJECTIVISM!
Objectivism holds that reality exists independent of consciousness; that
individual persons are in contact with this reality through sensory perception;
that human beings can gain objective knowledge from perception through the
process of concept formation and inductive and deductive logic
Objectivism (Latin ob- out of and iacio I am throwing, and Greek -ισμος or
-ismos the doing of a thing) is a school of philosophy that holds that things
in the natural world exist independently of anyone's perception of them or
efforts (or lack of effort) to understand them. Objectivism also holds that
nothing is provably real that one cannot demonstrate independently of one
person's percept of it.
1. Philosophy. One of several doctrines holding that all reality is
objective and external to the mind and that knowledge is reliably based on
observed objects and events.
2. An emphasis on objects rather than feelings or thoughts in
literature or art.
