Marblehead Posted December 15, 2009 "First there is a mountain, Then there is no mountain, Then there is." Â From a Donovan song. Â But he took it from Taoist philosophy and I did research it one time a long time ago and found the quote that he took and used it in the song. Â Meditation is similar to this concept.

Just to continue in this way is called the host within the host. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marblehead Posted January 6, 2010 It has been said that Lao Tzu was the first teacher of camouflage. Â If we appear as a fool no one is going to bother us. No one will understand our true intentions. Â Peace & Love! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marblehead Posted January 7, 2010 Brought to mind the thought: Hiding in full view. Â We have become hidden because we have become a part of everything else. Â Peace & Love! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
