I wonder if anyone has done any work towards implementing
some of the philosophical thoughts on Quality - for example
of Quality being a point of experience where subject and
object differences arise. I found it similar to the "Moments
of Truth" work done by Jan Carlson, but that preceded his
books. Both his books - Zen and The Art of Motorcycle
Maintainence and Lila: An Enquiry into Morals - are
tremendously important books on Quality for what they
explain.

I was carried into this thought process by the recent talk
on Quality being dead..since Pirsig talks of Quality being
the start process - the birth of everything!

I wonder if anyone has read/ heard of anyplace where this is
still debated?

Do keep me posted!
