That’s what I have been observing.

That’s correct. In the grammar at the time of Laozi: - 弗 implied an object - what could be deduced from the context was mostly left out So the literal translation is - the wise man does not speak ‘something’ - and the context allows interpreting the ‘something’ as ‘nonsense’ here.

Re https://www.thedaobums.com/topic/53332-whats-a-mystic-and-how-to-become-one/?do=findComment&comment=984712 I wholeheartedly disapprove of SilentHand’s slandering of Islam. @SilentHand Please do not misquote me. I was talking about mystics being receptive. See https://www.thedaobums.com/topic/53332-whats-a-mystic-and-how-to-become-one/?do=findComment&comment=984614 I personally respect Islam.

Same here. Learned it in the seventies. If someone wants to have sex with you and/or take your money then it’s not a ‘teacher’, just a con artist.

Wow, thank you very much for all this wonderful info. You are a mine of information.

Thank you. Not to me though (I wasn’t there), to them yes.

I live where ‘A Bridge too Far’ happened. Some of my friends in their late eighties still sometimes talk to me about it.

Yes.

Well said. I totally agree.

Fear is that thing that makes you piss in your pants. You feel it, you know what it is. That’s all.
