  1. Is It Over? The Dao Bums Fall

    @Apech I think the journey from his home to West Africa, took less time than the time already spent crawling along the top part of the Western side. It’s like the ancient Greek Dichotomy Paradox of Zeno of Elea, he will never arrive.
  2. JK Rowling and Hermeticism

    According to Rowland, she chose the name to characterise Hermione's parents (the parents chose the name to show of how educated they are); the story itself was not relevant to the character of Hermione.

  11. Alchemy, is it real ??

    Imo the “smth that is ‘not inside nor outside’ “ refers to it all being a simile, a mental tool. “cavity”/ “palace” (also ‘growing an embryo’), it is all the ‘womb’ simile. 子宮 (zǐgōng) womb (literally "child palace"). The “void” is the empty womb.
  12. JK Rowling and Hermeticism

    Hermione's name, according to Rowling, was inspired by Shakespeare's A Winter's Tale.

  15. Why is Buddhism so complicated?

    imo: this whole system of the 5 movements never had any reality, it’s total BS. It was a later faulty interpretation of the ‘4 directions + me’ (the person as the central 5th element). https://www.thedaobums.com/topic/56502-pentagon-game/?do=findComment&comment=1048539
  16. Why is Buddhism so complicated?

    I agree. Imo the truth is simple. So I rarely engage with overly convoluted theories.
