SA > "... as real as H2O." Hmmmm, so, Pirsig is saying > static patterns are forever? I think he is saying its true for all people forever that a doctor should prefer a patient over a killer germ. You might call that a static pattern of morality. What do you think? Are there morals that never change? Like the doctor's duty? > [Platt] > > No. Can't say I have.

Do you think any part of your consciousness will survive death? Do you believe in reincarnation? When I die I believe that the spirit within me returns to universal spirt. I will then have either no consciousness at all, or consciousness of of everything all at once. I tend to believe the latter because those who have returned from near death experiences have had their outlooks completely changed. Something profound affects their attitude and perspective. Have a nice day.
