Zhongyongdaoist Posted October 28, 2015 At ZYD: Yes I read it but didn't see the connection, I have something to say in my defense, but then why defend my ignorance? I'll just read it again I know you read it, I'm just giving you a hard time, as the saying goes. The terminology and the thought behind them takes a little getting used too, but once one does they are extremely powerful and useful. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FraterUFA Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) I know nothing about Greek philosophy but I will say that Donald's descriptions do not sound far off from what I have personally experienced. I have found that there is Mind ("Wisdom") and Nature ("Understanding"). Mind is that which orders the universe. He is its laws. He has created you, me and everyone else through the medium of Nature. He is responsible for ordering every circumstance in our lives and he tells me that he has done this purposefully. Nature is the universe itself. The atoms which you consist of, every form and image you sense are her clothing. She is every circumstance in your life, good and bad, which you experience. She desires for her children to know her. She is a radiant light and a star of compassion. She desires for her children to know her and to bring them back before Mind. What lies beyond Mind and Nature is neither Mind nor Nature.
