  3. Practical Taoism and Sex

    yes this is so but i say that this comes after and is not a practice but merely the normal function of a true human being
  4. Practical Taoism and Sex

    thank you yen, (thoughtless sex?) thought comes from the minds of all people there is a thought sphere if you will. thought is a useful tool, but cannot lead one out of ignorance. the sex act serves the biological imperative of procreation, once the act is done, thought steps in to make it pleasure, carnal or divine it is all the same. when you want something, you can be fooled. this seems simple and clear to me.

  11. Everyone post some favorite quotes!

    Dr. David Bohm, Profressor of Theoretical Physics at Birkbeck College, University of London: "But I was thinking of looking at one point, that the importance of these fragments is that when I identify myself and say "I am this", "I am that", I mean the whole of me. The whole of me is rich or poor, or American, or whatever, and therefore it seems all-important. I think the trouble is that the fragment claims it is the whole, and makes itself very important."

  13. In any moral or civic philosophy, as is with most religious thought, "Duty" and "Responsibilty" have core value in these disiplines. yet it is said: (19) "Eliminate sagacity, abandon knowledge, and the people benefit a hundredfold. Eliminate humanitarianism, abandon duty, and the people return to familial love. Eliminate craft, abandon profit, and theft no longer exists. ...." (Thomas Cleary, The Essential Tao) how does one reconcile these apparent differences in ones everyday life?
  14. Duty and responsibilty in Daoist/Taoist thought

    excellent reply this is what i was getting at you cannot impose morality (duty, responsibility) on people. it must come from within. "the sage who is a master of the way, does not use this to enlighten people, but to make them unsophisticated." some guy

  24. Practical Taoism and Sex

    Sir, It is thought that differentiates between "sexual energy" and other forms of energy there is only the need to propagate the species, there are not different energies. Perhaps he sees this. peace, paul
