Re: Studying the Tao Te Ching
I recognize those words ,-) Well, if we suppose that enlightenment is a cause-effect act, and that we by thought connect one present moment with another (making it into a cause-effect act) we could describe image one (not enlightened) with image two (enlightened) as forward into enlightenment , thou...

Re: Critique of the idea of Masculinity before Femininity
Thanks Diebert for your reply. Ok, so according to Tao, as you said, the spirit is in its manifestation divided into two opposites - the male and the female. Though in its abiding form it is none of these (or lets say instead that it’s an even of both mixture). The same amount of black and white cre...

An amazing movie dealing with these issues in a most sublime and haunting way is the (almost) always-great Austrian Michael Haneke in his first movie "The Seventh Continent". Just a heads up - if you plan to watch it, try not to read to much about it beforehand. It's one of my favorite mov...

Critique of the idea of Masculinity before Femininity
Studying the Tao Te Ching and the Taoist Way of Lao-Tzu I would directly state that it is not at all a rejection of the feminized spirit in favor of the masculine and then forward into Enlightenment. The Way addressed by Lao is more aliened to the centered balance between femininity and masculinity ...

Enlightenment and Rationality
Hi, I just wanted to express some views about the idea of enlightenment, which interest me a lot, and how I see it connected to the process of reason. From my viewpoint, the state of enlightenment – if we should call it that– is the same for whoever has ended up permanently abiding there. That is to...
