Hi Bo<br>I agree with your description of how the
MOQ kicks the chair from under other, conventional
philosophy, i see RP as giving the beautiful framework for a
new, all- inclusive way of dealing with life. <br>As I
said earlier: I have always had problems 'judging'
things - i.e. trying to figure out if 'this' is better
than 'that'... and consequently often come to a 'brick
wall' whilelooking at my life and making decisions:
whether it is study, work, plans, people around me, love
life, it seems like everything sometimes! <br>This lack
of ability to judge situations and people,has meant
my feeling unable to continue my projects/jobs in
life, with the ultimate result in a serious personal
breakdown recently, resulting from my self-image reaching
bottom. <br>I felt like a total failure despite having
refused to set up my own 'success' to judge myself by, by
relying on others to support and direct me and living in
an 'all or nothing' outlook. My adult life has all
been about 'dynamic' bursts of energy in several
directions (from Fine Art,to wooden schooner restoration and
sailing for the last 5 years), but I seem to lack the
skills to make the necessary 'static latching' to get me
to build on my creative experiences and
achievements!<br>I guess what I'm saying is Pirsig's approach and
writing style has encouraged me to personally see the
psychological repercussions of dynamic and static quality, and
am trying to use VALUE to heal myself!<br>Anyway,I'm
now believe in the positive power of practising calm
'quality' judgement in all spheres, and am trying to get on
with living a positive, constructive life. Not at all
easy, for someone who can always find an excuse for
themselves or others around them as to why things are
happenning.<br>I FEEL that you and RP are right in saying that we
all know what is quality innately, but I'm finding it
hard to access that instinctual nature. Too much
bourgeois 'civilisation' getting in the way, probably.
<br>I'm looking for tips on how to implememt MOQ on a day
to day level. <br><br>HELP!/any ideas or thoughts
anyone?/<br><br>lots of positive vibes (as the hippies used to
say)<br><br>from Sara (alias Caledonia)
