  Hmm, yes, but Pirsig had a psychotic break and that may or may not be what happened to OP. Psychosis also doesn't lend itself well to reflection. Pirsig describes the former self as no longer existing, as though that timeline was stopped and the current person now occupies his space. I've noticed that people's memories of their delusions are persistent and feel as real as any other. A friend of mine, for example, saw it as a coincidence that the people who were trying to make him kill himself stopped after he went to the hospital and started meds. It was still true to him then, the memory very real.
