But in particular to these in the picture - Jing Qi Shen Interlinked. - LimA Jing, Qi and Shen were never really separated. More like more refined views of the same thing.

First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then, by golly, there's a mountain again. Once upon a time long ago thinking stopped for a couple of days then I had no mental sense of myself, and yet I was still there. No troubles. I aint concerned about no steenking trouble.

Jeff Posted July 23, 2018 59 minutes ago, Limahong said: Not separated within Light? Same thing - Light? Layers within Light? Guess it depends on how you define “light”, but yes, you describe Shen, Qi as Jing as sort of layers of “attached” light. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Jeff, When I was younger, I embraced these happily when I first time saw them - (a) I saw the light (b) Aha (c) I see (d) OMG (e) It blows my mind (a) to (e) moments pertain to - realizations and pleasure at suddenly (i) solving a problem (ii) understanding a joke (iii) learning a truth... But when I started to embrace Taoism and Buddhism as philosophies, (a) to (e) turn into my own set of figuring things out - sometimes through very difficult periods of living. I began to search inward... towards consciousness. Perhaps "light" can be linked to Consciousness... but I am not going to define it. Why?
