Guest RBSA Posted September 10, 2012 You said you know nothing . Usual individual would gave this a idiotic meaning . But here on this forum nothing is attributed with new dimensions . A. E. said Nothing is lost , Everything is transforming . I ' d say Nothing does not die . Everything is transforming . Here the nothing is cooler than everything .

Melanie Posted September 10, 2012 Chapter 2 Sentence 1 When people see things as beautiful, ugliness is created. Very profound. but that doesn't mean the ugliness doesn't have its place the duality is an illusion but it has its place too Just like all other illusions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GrandmasterP Posted September 10, 2012 Absolutely. It's all 'One' and of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. No boundaries with Tao just permeable membrane Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RBSA Posted September 11, 2012 I don ' t get what is an illusion . When speaking of tao illusion is inseparated from the teaching . But can someone give a practical , and simple , example of an illusion ? 10x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GrandmasterP Posted September 11, 2012 Duality is an illusion. It's also one word in that sentence of words. Words can be slippery customers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
