If I inform you that Pirsig has said that the Quality he spoke of in ZAMM is identical to MOQ's DQ, would that make some difference? Hello Anthony if you read this, can you offer the said quote again?.

I think it a Broersen ad hoc embroidery. There is the DQ/SQ and that's all. FYI. LILA has nothing to do with the (Hindu?) "Lila". I have a letter from Pirsig where he says that the name originated in the lilac plant. > In direct experience there is no MoQ.

The MOQ made us aware of the Direct Experience/Static Experience context and thus created the Quality Reality. To speak about a Quality/MOQ context is merely reverting to SOM where Quality is the objective reality while the MOQ is something subjective and second- hand. > I'll repeat one sentence for you Bodvar.

To avoid mis- > understanding: the sign = means 'equivalent to'. I claim that the MOQ creates the Quality Reality in the same sense that the Gravity Theory created the Gravity Reality. The MOQ is the DQ/SQ or Direct/Static Experience if you prefer. Get it?? > The fallacy of this position should be obvious. Yet you maintain it. > Quality cannot be 'contained' in any belief systems.

I have learned in my exchange with David Thomas that when a faulty position is established there is no limit to antics to defend it.
