From the other side of Truth to say

(The conflict resolved: "Quality measures the transition of an idea into its material form; in essence, the perception of Love made manifest."¹  - Author - x25).

( For Robert Pirsig & The Crew @ MOQ.ORG ~ )




 . . . or is it that "Truth" Rises?

Mangling metaphors . . . it's a start

He's the only modern man ever to have seen a Lion . . . the lion seeing too / re·COG·itate

 / ask: what is the progenitor of Good or in other words- did god have a birthday and was it a good one

he taught us to take care of our Goodness not bad for a life's work ( . . . but what good's the good anyway?) what's new is always more attractive ( . . . like maybe The Fountain of Youth?)

Gilded or no; "Good" is what we're made of. . . not so hard to understand "A Rational Morality" ~ A Spiritual D.N.A.

It's only hard to push the post-millennial hard-asses away So...

 Resolved:

Someone once meant to own someone else- ( . . . maybe you! ) and what a sail it's been too; the lie no longer covered; exposing 'Terra Cognito', (. . . an unfamiliar, familiar place? ). We know, because we "See" and 'Believing is Seeing' after all, even as oblivion seeks his own.

The gods are restless tonight (a too familiar sound).

Pray they never wake again.

Notes: 

1. What’s exciting is that I have revealed the Objective Existence of “Quality”  and the scientists will love it, because it’s a measuring tool and just as important is the understand that that "ineffable" Quality in the object is what we meant by The Object’s Quality in the first place!

"Dynamic Quality" is an assessment or judgment of how well an object reflects an idea or ideal translated into material form. - author

You're far too intellectual for me lol! I'm too short to catch your ideas, they go right over my head. However, I love your poetic language and strength of character. Take care! Xo

I guess it's a somewhat obscure tribute to the group I belonged to that was working on a program called the "Metaphysics of Quality" (MOQ). Robert Pirsig wrote two books: "Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance" & "Lila". I apologize for using Poetry Soup like a scratch board for my complaints. Thanks for your interest in my work I really do appreciate it.

Well I don't really know what you just said, but I have to say. Libra men are some of the sweetest guys I know.

October 13th ~ Libra. ~ Metaphysics Of Quality. I was a member. Pirsig bridges Science & Religion by locating Morality prior to (a-priori) perception. Religion; i.e.; a psychological externalization of "The Primordial Imperative" contains our Subject/Object Metaphysical reverie. M.O.Q. is superior to S.O.M. because asking any 3-year-old what is good and evil elicits an immediate and non-negotiable response, whereas Reason & Rationality (S.O.M.) requires years of practice for its efficacious usage.

"Classical theoretical notions as "objects" are no more than conceptual instruments for predicting successfully the outcome of various experiments." - Robert Pirsig ~~~ "Our collective-intelligence or "Cultural Mythos" is founded upon our personal acquiescence and adherence to a persistent & perpetuating reverie". - <- Me ~~~ "The matrix has you". - Morpheus
