  1. Chapter One of the TTC

    Nature is the 10,000 things including you ! Now we get to the next bit ... what is your true nature ? I contend that if one is following their khvarenah or 'True Will' they are living in harmony with their true nature and nature itself . If one's True Will is to be an artists but instead you find yourself an unhappy factory worker (or anything else ) then that is against your nature and nature . Then again we could propose that anything a human does that no other animal does , is against nature .

    Lao was 'bothered ' by a bird ? You better put that one in square brackets !

    My take ( at the moment ... which may change 'as I go along ' ) is ; Heaven and Earth ' signify the primal 'division' from the one - giving us the three . These three ( the one itself and its expression in 2 ) are like the supernal triad and above the 'abyss' (of comprehension ) - hence 'invisible ' . 3. Invisible, was a name given to Tao at the origin of sky and earth. But after that , below the abyss , in to manifestation ( of the 10,000 things ) we can see in nature this 'signature ' ( TTC Ch 42, line 5 ) 4. Visible, was a name given to Tao as the mother of all things. Ie . we can see (identify ) the 'cause' ( the mother ) after creation , in the creation .

    I am glad it just isn't me that seems to have trouble getting consistence ( at times even sense ) out of CD .
  6. Stranger things

    Happy New Year ! ..... inside a dinosaur ??? '' As New Year's Eve invitations go, the one received by 20 men in December 1853 was unusual. Apart from the fact that presumably none of the attendees wanted to spend the turning of the year with any of their womenfolk, the location was specified as "in the mould of the Iguanodon at the Crystal Palace. " https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cx2pgwj19plo .

    I'm not following you . This seems disjointed and all over the place . I am off to do the morning watering of my pet pot plants , feed the fish , etc ... and that is not cryptic nor requires alternative meanings .
  8. Chapter One of the TTC

    Now it makes LESS sense as you removed the essential concept in question ! '' Continuously orbiting but never exhausted' .
  9. Chapter One of the TTC

    maybe you meant to do this ^ then we can get somewhere !
  10. Chapter One of the TTC

    But did he really say that . 'Something spinning before it comes into shape' . = ' Blinded together ' ? ? ? Dude ! Sort the English out first then maybe approach the Chinese !

    If you only watch from 1:46 - 1:50 ... I bet no one has done that before in mid air

    But did he really say that . 'Something spinning before it comes into shape' . Chaos is fine , I think ... IF one understands the modern implications of the word . The term chaos refers to a state of complete disorder and confusion, but its meaning varies significantly across different disciplines, from science and mythology to modern software .
  13. I caution pervs and flashers due to the upcoming Chinese year . More fire horse fun ; Aries fire horse was also a singer in a band . I went to watch them play at a pub once . She was out the front singing and had a tambourine ; sing sing sing, she does a little spin around ... two beats on the tambourine , .... sing sing sing , turn around . two beats , ... and so on . The crowd was pressed right up to the stage . Sing sing sing, turn around .... guy reaches up and grabs her arse .... two beats on the tambourine - hard , up either side of guys head .... sing sing sing - didnt miss the beat . We are crossing the road at a pedestrian crossing , car stops half way over the crossing , annoyed people are going around it . She instructs him to move the car back , he doesnt ( she is very tall ) , takes one step up onto his bonnet , walks across it and steps down on other side . Car full of hooligans calls out to the other one ( Sagg fire horse ) one night ; ' Show us yer tits ! ' I am signalling to them 'NO! ... drive away ! '' but they dont . She goes over and ''So, you want to see my tits do you ... and other stuff but somehow has them transfixed . While she is talking she has twisted the car aerial off casually , pulled of their side rear view mirror , bent the wiper ... car full of big guys sitting in thee looking intimidated .... WTF ????

    Cobie must love this one !

    For natives , perhaps . For non natives ? No. Why ? Because 'non natives' know dinosaurs laid eggs loooooong before there were chickens
  16. Chapter One of the TTC

    It was ? That would be a little bang . maybe you mean ' The Big Bang ' - in English definite articles and capitols do matter I have just accepted that ; what is behind the formation of things can not be ordinarily seen . That depends on what previously held concepts you want to translate it into
  17. Chapter One of the TTC

    Not necessarily ; It could be a crystal glass . Do I really need to explain it to you ? Maybe I do . A glass is curved (other wise it won;pt hold water ) , this causes refraction and the light passing through it - from behind it , gets refracted so it looks different from its background . Glass itself can be a flat sheet that does not refract the light and allows the light behind it to pass straight through it , making it seem as if the glass is not there . Too hard ? Try this then ; Flat glass ; curved glass ; A glass; Through the looking glass ;
  18. Chapter One of the TTC

    That seems a bit of a 'chicken and egg ' issue ?
  19. Chapter One of the TTC

    The usual . And its often not related to any OP or previous posts . Just some ' self observations' and flag waving about cosmic stuff and how he feels he has it sorted
  20. Chapter One of the TTC

    Hmmmm ... 'glass' is one thing . 'A glass' is another thing . Listen here you lot ! Dont do to English what you are doing to TTC !
  21. Chapter One of the TTC

    ' That which contains the foundation of order, yet unseen . ' or .... ( since you are allowing 'grok' , then I am allowing ) ' warp storm ' .
  22. Endless desire

    'Soft' and flowing , yet achieves remarkable results over time with persistence . many movements ( including in other martial arts as well ) follow a wave like direction ( down to a low trough , up to high crest ) . It can also relate to gravity and balance ( keeping 'weight underside ' ) . I shall counter that with rich humor ; '' But what happened to that huge amount of money you had ?'' '' I spent tens of thousands on prostitutes , alcohol, drugs, gambling , partying ...... the rest , I wasted . '' .

    You are forgiven ... my son
  24. The radical honesty thread (also AMA)

    I'm going to bounce off you ; I wish I could ! I been in pain for three months with this shoulder injury ... only just now recovering ... constant pain is grind ... I need a rest from it . But I am now allergic to the forms of morphine described ... cant take it . I probably would have had some if I could . Occasional I lash out and drop a couple of panadol osteo . I dont 'especially like' mine ... just because they are family ; if I like you or not it is not based on blood connections . I think I passed that point a few weeks back . I like the stillness . I dont have bills ( just the phone ) ... I do have expenses ( eg . no power bill but occasionally I have to spend money on solar system ) YOu are right , bills will disappear ... well, transform actually , often into summonses .
  25. Is God love?

    Indeed they do ... the Greek Gods . However the Christian God is supposedly one of love . The OT God one of jealousy war and vengeance . Jesus was a bit of a hippy . I prefer a Goddess myself .... its good for my Anima
