Tom Three Deer
My name is Tom Three Deer. I was born on the Pine Ridge reservation at
the southern end of the Bad Lands… I am Oglala Lakota Sioux. My father
had a ranch he inherited from his father who had inherited it from
his… where we raised fine horses and splendid ponies and where the
Charlie Brown can be so grumpy...;-)

I do love a good story...
One of the most famous Zen Buddhist koans, or riddles that move one beyond
merely rational thought structures is “What did your face look like before your
parents were born?” The koan goes to the very heart of Buddhism, since Buddhism
is a religion that finds

Mark,
'I' is a conventional designation.
Maybe you should stick to your 'automatic writing' where you can continue to
impress yourself. I am not interested in your further interpretation.

Yes that is a good story. I am aware of what my face looked like, it is how
I live my life. This is where MoQ will take one.

I live at the end of a long down running road. Kids are skating down in the
summer and in the winter they have all sorts of things to ride down it. Today I

Hi Joe,
Physics is a subset of metaphysical. It is yet another way of depicting
reality. One should not make Physics more than what it is.

Since you went to the trouble of quoting generously from Ant's doctoral
thesis, I thought it might provide a useful reference for squaring some of
my differences and agreements with the Quality thesis. In this way you,

That's just because Pirsig is a philosopher and not a writer of Hallmark

I have been trying to explore the basis in logic for essence!
Essence is only perceived in a logical construct. There is no way to
discern its independent existence.
Evolution is a description of levels in existence. Existence is realized in

As I usually use the terms, today metaphysics is just the broadest and most

I was going to get to these quotes of Marsha's, but I am fine to
follow your lead. As stated, the Western interpretation of Buddhism
(a term coined by the West in the early 1900's, over two thousand
years since such teachings have been in existence) is insufficient
since it relies
Personally, MRB, I'm a huge Jobs fan. I mean, I followed Apple from the

The opening thing to remark before my itemized comments below is

I am happy to partake. I am not an accepted Essentialist, so my
opinion only rests on the conversations that Ham and I have had over
the years, and my reading of his web site and related references. I
