[Tim] hmmmm, maybe I am still just a beginner then... though I thought I had progressed - at least to intermediate! Anyway, Dave, thanks for the efforts, I think that I found your collection of extractions timely and deepeningly-insightful - I don't know a proper word, but I think it will certainly add to my re-reading experience when I do go back and re-read these books again. This is not to look past what they did now though. > [Mark] In this forum, the word mystical is put in place of > spiritual, as if it means something different.

This is complete nonsense! This whole thing is > a mystical experience, intellect and all. [Tim] This I liked a lot though, Mark. There is nothing more spiritual for me than the mere act of finding the word I was looking for. Or a clear sentence to replace a jumble of thoughts that wasn't coming out right. Etc & etc too. >[Mark] Pirsig seems to think that our intellect has somehow changed since the > caveman. I do not think that such an assumption is necessary. [Tim] I agree with your conclusion about the assumption, but, to be sure, I didn't get that Pirsig had ever made it. I figured he would have said something like our trains, and our mythos I guess, are just further down the track, but it is still track and trains, and terra incognita off to the sides. (and of course the static patterns would be different.) again, nice efforts Dave, thanks, and thank you too Mark, Tim -- [email protected] -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Or how I learned to stop worrying and love email again Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org/md/archives.html
