I do believe he saw something important. Having met and corresponded with Bob, I doubt he is anything other than a normal, highly intelligent, but imperfect, human being, who happens also to be a good writer. Zachrey,

There is no doubt, if you read Pirsig’s words in the timeline, that the thing that “really drove him mad” was that people around him could not see what he was seeing, rather than his own emlightenment.

I do believe he saw something important.

Eckhart Tolle speaks of the stillness or presence in the present moment at the moment of sense perception. This is the narrow gate of life as Jesus said. This IS quality! This moment! right now! I think Robert made himself wrong for what was happening to him and the people around him who are trapped in the egoic state of mind didn't know what the hell was going on.

It's along time since I had such a huge injection of positive vibes. Must find a way to meet up with you in Oz in the next month or so. I'll e-mail you.

People show their prejudices in what they choose to attack. Better to be constructive IMHO. Anyway, moving on.
