  2. the fusion of science and religion

    thank you for your intelligent reply wayfarer perhaps you misunderstand my statements to mean they are my views on this, as a mirror can only reflect what is in front of it, thus it is. the fusion of science and religion is actually a redundent question. peace and happy pancakes, paul

  7. the fusion of science and religion

    when a well built machine is working perfectly there is no mention of the parts, when the body is in peak health, there are no internal organs, just a complete organism, when science and religion are in harmony, there is no science and religion. as lao tzu would say, when people recognize the good as good, there is already bad.... perhaps we should be looking at the fissure, not the fusion. peace, paul
  8. Merging with the Void

    one has never been seperate from the void, thus it is immpossible to merge with it. it is ignorance that causes the apperance of seperation and the need to merge. the concept of being an "individual" is ignorance, the ending of ignorance is the "ending" of the individual. the only litmus tests i use are: if your not having fun, your doing it wrong. and if you dont know what to do, do nothing. ( doing nothing, ahh!) peace paul

  11. How do you learn?

    since yen has yet to respond: in "having no direction" one does not just drift in "having no mind" one is not a zombie all apparent manifestations of living things are both real and unreal the reality of them being the manifestation the unreality being the apparent seperation. remaining with being, the false falls away remaing with emptiness, seperation falls away there is no one making any effort in all of this. peace, paul (p.s. to clarify my statement infering that the I-Ching only charts possiblities, as we have agreed, the predicted outcomes can be changed, this puts them in the realm of possiblties, since they are not predestined to come true. the world of possiblities is endless, so that lead one to ask, what is impossible?)

  15. a poem

    From child to man to child Hong Kong Harbor 1967 or 1968 cloudy cold and wet the wind put the flag to attention, the water blended into the grey sky a young sailor looked into the murky depths, an old man reflects. this windblown world so fragile like a spiderweb, so powerful, like the volcano, soft as a womens breast, hard as a diamond. what is there to learn? what is there to know? the ship pulls slowly away, the docks disappear in the grey fog. life is forever there is no reason why.

    hahaha no pictures but i was that sailor and the harbor and the fog and the grey sky or so this old man recalls

    "It is the attachment to things that create a teaching. No attachment, no teaching." so plainly put, who could not see the truth of this? peace paul

    "real" in the sense that directed energy is real, but in this case, only destruction can come of it.

    i will only say this mysticism, the occult arts, magic if you will, are all very real, very dangerous, and very useless. peace and happy pancakes, paul

  23. How do you learn?

    today, lin aiwei boiled a bowl of rice he took it to the garden to lunch upon finishing, he returned to wash the bowl and spoon. he has just demonstrated the unspoken tao, how has he done this? the book of changes may tell you one thing but this explosion of being has no blueprint. peace and happy pancakes, paul
