Problems come from putting on the outside what’s actually on the inside.

Reminds me of the Merovingian in the Matrix movie.

There are myriad differences, none of which end talk about reunification; Filioque does.

The ‘papal infallibility’ wasn’t and isn’t reason of the schism. The problem is the ‘Filioque’.

Sure. But papal infallibility started much later, 1870.

The Pope is only for the Western Church; the Eastern Church has Patriarchs. Filioque (‘and from the Son’, re Holy Spirit) is the main difference.

In contrast, anti-Semitism and anti-Islamism are usually not so openly professed.

Hi Andreas. Welcome to the forum.

Thank you very much for elucidating, it is a very ingenious translation. However, I prefer to use the oldest available text (MWD A). Your version does not comply with MWD A, which: 1j splits up the characters in a different way: 道 可 道 也 非 恆 道 也 名 可 名 也 非 恆 名 也 http://www.daoisopen.com/downloads/CC1.pdf 2) uses 恆 恆 was the name of a later emperor. The taboo on the use of the emperor’s name, resulted in the substitution 常

Could you please post your current translation of the characters of the first line? (I posted my latest version in the post above).

@Apech I have put you on my ignored users list.

‘grandiosity’ & ‘depression’ are two sides of the same coin. No worries, you will find the middle way. Be well.

There’s a button top right, “See their activity”, click on that. Then on the left you can click on “Topics” or “Posts”.

Yes. Reminded me of this quote: ”It’s not to say that these things didn’t haunt me, because they did. I just stopped them from haunting my son’s childhood. He was 37 when he finally learned the full story. … During that phone call, … he kept repeating ‘you were so normal’ … To me, this was one of my greatest accomplishments in life.” (she survived an attack by Ted Bundy)

I’m in the same country.

The 3 dantien do correspond with the 3 basic chakras. Yes, the chakras in a female body rotate anti-clockwise, and in the male body, clockwise.

Indeed. Like the first line of the DDJ. If the Dao cannot be expressed, then “who would write a useless book”! https://www.thedaobums.com/topic/55433-do-you-need-to-learn-chinese/?do=findComment&comment=1022024 https://www.thedaobums.com/topic/55124-you-and-wu-in-chapter-one/?do=findComment&comment=1014660

It’s my own words, it’s what happened in my own life.

@salaam123 you might be on the mystical path (step 1 - connection with God from the head; step 2 - the abyss, connection gone; step 3 - connection with God from the whole body).
