Robert Pirsig, of “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance,” also had an awakening experience, where he said he was in touch with “quality,” the key concept of his metaphysics. But he ended up hospitalized, and we talk about how these experiences need others, an understanding community, teachers, tradition and so forth. Ian says that the biggest danger, however, is trying to cleave to it. Otherwise, the system does regain equilibrium.
