@Galactic Traveler Why do you think that LaoZi only spoke of YinYang once?

Hi Kojiro. Naturally eating too much is not a good idea. Moderation is important. Also try to eat healthy food.

Me thinks: sensible comes from the 5 senses. Grounded in the body, not just mental gymnastics.

I think so too.. Imo perfectionism is toxic these 3 things go together: shame based, perfectionism, not wanting to live That’s what I think too. Imo false spirituality: I am miserable myself, but think I know everything and enjoy pontificating true spirituality: I don’t know anything, but I am quite happy and trust others to find their own way Very true! I quested myself to singularity, then wanted to reintegrate with people.

There is no Tajitu in the DDJ,. That’s from the Song Dynasty, approximately 10th century AD. There is no YinYang in the oldest copies of the DDJ. The first known DDJ copy with YinYang in it, is the Wang Pi (3rd. century AD). It and all later copies have only 1 mention of YinYang, which is in Ch 42. 2 Laozi lived 6th or 4th century BC. And it was only during the Han (starting 2nd century BC) that YinYang first became a major element in Chinese thought. 1 ~~~ 1 page 191 Sources of Chinese Traditions vol. 1; Wm. Theodore de Bary, Editor; Columbia University Press: ”Though the concept of the two primal forces or modes of creation, the yin and the yang, dates from very early times, it was during the Han that it first became a major element in Chinese thought.” 2 https://www.thedaobums.com/topic/53840-yinyang-陰陽-ch-42/?do=findComment&comment=987785

Thanks for the info, appreciated. That doesn’t show on my iPad.

WARNING: Not eating food, causes irreversible damage to your body.

(my highlighting) I know you don’t follow your own ‘guide’, because if you did you would be dead.

Hi. Welcome to the forum.

This is not suitable stuff for the open forum, a vulnerable person might believe it and stop eating.

I agree with Nungali on the issue. But accept the boundary set for use of this forum. No problem.

Thank you very much for elucidating, the issue is clear to me now.

Thanks, but I think the credit is Pak’s.

Thanks, good to know. I went through the whole thread and did not find any warning.

(my layout and highlighting) Interesting.

Thanks, appreciated.

I agree with that, my intent is to be respectful of other people’s feelings. I might differ in where exactly the boundaries are. What is it in the Nungali post you quote that is a personal insult? Serious question. I am willing to adjust to the forum rules.

For that there is the ‘Ignored Users’ option.

A serious allegation indeed. So I went through the whole thread again and reread all of my posts. No bullying there imo. But if a moderator were to think otherwise, I would adjust my behaviour.

What, according to you, is the mind?

Thanks for your answer.

What, according to you, is the soul?
