Sorry; Double posted.

(In my perspective/Interpretation) Monkey -> (The Un-calmed mind or People entering Path) Three -> (Ways of Nourishing the Jing, Qi, Shen) Four -> ( The principles of Dao, De, Wu Wei and Pu 樸) So related this to the Keeper, Spiritual Wisdom, Morning, Evenings, Monkeys, Unity.

Really like your comments on the verse Any idea who Hu and Shu maybe? The rulers of the Northern and Southern seas.

If this keeps up; we will have to say goodbye soon. In saying goodbye, is the same as not saying goodbye. Therefore it is saying goodbye. Anyone know what significances is the number four and three in Daoism?

You are right Boss; not really sure why I did that.

Minding the seven orifices, One will revive 'Chaos' the ruler of the center kingdom. As for Shu and Hu, just pay attention to the middle kingdom; one might catch their envoys and witness their meetings.

(Upon reading this chapter; I have a feeling of not wanting to comment but can't resist the urge of putting something down on the table.) Boo! Let me just blow air...

Now that's evolution Wonder how would the artists draw the transformation as for the 'stages of evolution'. There's 0 and then poof!! Infinity! (Or Over 9000!); now please fill up the space in between. P.S. Glad to hear from you, David.

For you, anything my friend. The Tao No need for faith. The 'I' goes against the flow; give that up even temporary. Become whole again, even just temporary. Too much have been said on my part, I'll stop now. May Everything be Well.

Throw that away again and look inside. What is in control? Are you trying to find some place for the Tao or yourself? To stand in the eye of the storm? Find the eye, throw that away and it wont be far. Me myself don't know but you will just 'be' despite the storm.

thus nothing and everything. Going to application of ChuangTzu, what makes thing useful and useless. The Sage knows what is useful and what is useless. And what makes things useful and useless.

Maybe we should try with a bigger hammer; either way.

just names Boss, just names. Lets go back to 2nd chapter Dao De Jing.

Oh nonono, I won't let you take the backseat. I thought you don't like dualistic stuff. but that could be my misunderstanding that you don't like dualistic stuffs. @Everything Told you to throw it against the wall and start all over. If there's no mess then it's nothing. Start all over. @Sin You ever try Yin of Yin of Yin or Yang of Yang of Yang? Just curious .

Hahaha, it was actually my way of summarizing the section And your way of answering it.

When all is good, all things under heaven are with the Dao. Yao see no reason for being a king. He thinks that is no more for him to do other than giving it away to a proper successor. Being titled 'King' is still a burden for him. He look for all under heaven for a successor, he found Xu You and then Shun. He wanted to give the 'World' to Xu You; Seeing that there's no more thing to do. Pointed out that Yao's burden is empty and to go back, and there's no need to give the World away. There's no need to receive the World.

King Yao is a bit guilty here, isn't it? What use is giving 'King' to Xu You? Xu You just shove it back at King Yao's face politely. What use in giving away 'All beneath Heaven'? @Chi Thank you for the nice translation.

correct and precise. Me just another idiot. You lose me there when you talked about the Yin and Yang story. It's better for me not to know; being stupid have many benefits you know. One can learn the same things again and again, only each time things gets a lot more smart as one gets more dumb and dumber. Wasssup and peace out

Boss, You do enjoy the high speed don't you? It must be nearly Christmas for you. Seasons of the heart and the doll that comes with it. Only where is the heart?

Hello Everything; Interesting stuff you have there, now take Everything and drop it in Nothing. And throw Nothing at the wall. Any mess left will be yours to clean. Good luck on your journey.. That's quite something you have here.

Hi Rene; Never had the pleasure of having dialogues with you. My condolences. And Welcome Back . All the litte things, Be Well.

Accepting all the Lies, One comes to Truth. Denying all the Lies, One comes to Truth. Truth can becomes a shield. What is there to fight? What is there to argue? Why do you want to wake people up? We can only wake ourselves up.

I think that summarize the thread very nicely. @Marblehead Apologies of using your head boss @Manitou I like what you wrote. But is it Daoism? I wouldn't know as well. In statistics, Would someone explain to me briefly 'Markov Property'?
