Hi Tim, Thanks for the question. Don't worry about the feedback, the thing is to think and to progress with what you find meaningful. Your questions are appropriate. My snide remark about ADD was meant only to annoy some of those, since it seems so easy. Often there are those who claim to be teachers. Perhaps this is appropriate since they have been around a longer time. In my opinion, there are many ways to scale this mountain, starting from different vantage points, and new blood sometimes provides new understanding.
Now, I am only one opinion that carries only that weight. In my opinion, the manipulation of abstract symbols in considered to be one of man's highest achievements. This is of course somewhat self-centered, but why not, we make the rules. From such manipulation, one can describe a level which can be claimed to be different from the social level. As you intuit, the concept of levels are just analogies to frame the concept of Quality. From such framing, discussion can ensue. A literal translation is useful, but does not represent the real thing. Such a thing arises on its own. It has been suggested to me that I review what has been discussed before, so that I can provide consistent input, I find this to be an appropriate suggestion. However, this is a large task, and I am often lazy. So be it, one of the deadly sins, Sloth. You have probably already passed through the MOQ.com site. There is information there, some contributed by current members of this forum. There are also some wild and crazy sites which either profess complete understanding, or are dismissive. One can learn from both sides, but the amount of information is somewhat misleading. The core of the material is, in my opinion, found in ZMM and Lila. I am happy to discuss any ideas. What is sometimes dismissed here are supposed statements of fact (of which I am guilty). Your notion of Tuning seemed like a good start. The question is of course tuning what. It is possible for the motorcycle, the mechanic, and the tuning to exist as a single entity, that is no subjects and no objects. Moving towards that is a Zen concept. Of course, just my opinion. Others may dispute this, which is fine. Cheers, Mark, only been a contributor for about 2.5 years. On Wed, Nov 3, 2010 at 8:39 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > Hmmm...
