You cited Dan Glover's "Lila's Child":
RMP Annotation 29
The MOQ, as I understand it, denies any existence of a oeself
that is
independent of inorganic, biological, social or intellectual
patterns.
There is no oeself that contains these patterns. These patterns
contain the self. This denial agrees with both religious
mysticism and
scientific knowledge. In Zen, there is reference to oebig self
and
oesmall self Small self is the patterns. Big self is Dynamic
Quality.
DG:
So the MOQ might say we invent the self and then believe in our
own invention.
RMP:
Or better, the big self invents intellectual patterns that invent
the
small self and that collection of small selves known as "we".
Bodvar:
This is important and ought to be written in fiery letters. Pirsig says
(translated) "DQ creates the static levels of which the highest - intellect
- creates "mind", "self", "- consciousness" - awareness known as "we"
Again Pirsig inadvertently confirms the SOL (intellect as the S/O
distinction). From inside intellect the fundamental split is between a
self and its world. If Arlo still is "conscious" from his fencing with Platt
and spots this I challenge him to explain it away
Bodvar.
