Hi Marsha
First of all sorry for the "Islam ..." letter which was for a local
newspaper. How it ended up at the MD? Hope nobody
understands Norwegian, particularly Khaled.

"Reality as experience?" I think that's a tenet of empiricism. The
MOQ basic postulate is
Quality is a direct experience independent of and prior to
intellectual abstractions. (LILA p 42)
Maybe you have this in mind?
It (Logical positivism) is an outgrowth of empiricism, the
idea that all knowledge must come from experience, and
is suspicious of any thought, even a scientific statement,
that is incapable of being reduced to direct observation.
(LILA 43)
Anyway as said I immediately recognized my "language = reality"
relationship with Pirsig's "quality = reality" and had no problems
giving it up in favor of the latter. Value so to say is the mother of
them all. After all Pirsig had a similar feeling when HE met with
Poincarè's "Everything is Harmony". From that he ought to have
seen that it is the Dynamic/Static division of the ineffable
something that counts not the entity itself.
