Platt,
Yes a synonym for Quality, just don't expect to ever know exactly what it is
or to get to it. I'm sure however that you can find a church where you may
be able to obtain both. While this mailing list is in a way 'yelping about
Quality' it is also informative and assists in refining our own view of what
Quality is. You are correct though that the real test of our convictions is
how we live our lives. RMP was to a certain extent a hypcrite but to see
that and nothing else is surely pessimism of the worst kind.
On the other hand perhaps you've seen something better? A dream of a
shinning castle atop a hill as seen from afar? Perhaps you do need to go
seeking? In that case I urge to go out and discover or invent something
better, but if you do not find something better then be not afraid to return
and say so.
Glen

Hi Glen:
GLEN:
Again if want perfection, GO TO CHURCH.
PIRSIG:
His favorite Christian mystic was Johannes Eckhart who said,
"Wouldst thou be perfect, do not yelp about God." (Lila, Chp. 30)
. . . perfection, a synonym for Quality. (Lila, Chp. 11)
