The flow of one thing to another I call principle  a unifying force, meaning what works it is not a mental construct. 

 

Hi Wu Ming Jen,

 

Your principle is very forceful in uniting a jelly bean and a sEEd.

 

When my sEEds leave my passion fruits they are on their own.

Hi Dada-da,

 

Your "more" implies that it is also possible to have fun with non-living things - but "less" fun?

Since the ‘Yi’ reflects the changes of the sun and the moon, the transformations of the universe, and the shifts in the human world, its transformations are limitless and infinite.

 

Yet we are restricting ourselves with words and splitting hair?

One day me and Marblehead decided to go to town. When Marblehead saw a woman and asked what is that I sarcastically replied that it is a tiger and they are dangerous. After climbing the mountain back to the cave I asked Marblehead what did you like most about going to town. Marblehead replied the tiger.

Has Marblehead read the poem by William Blake? I wonder.

That is very noble and I admire this yet the non sexual metaphor is very real, tangible and can not be changed.

 

Hi Wu Ming Jen,

 

I am using  jelly beans, sEEd and passion fruits so as not to offend anyone with graphical terms.

 

But when we cannot touch actual base with our physical attributes for what they are - how can chi flow freely?

 

What is "jing => chi => shen" ~ in the context of actual everyday living?

 

I am now openly asking the Management of TDB - can I post a photo of human passion fruits?

 

I have no malice aforethought - but words have limitations.

Hi LimA,

 

Jing Chi and Shen  we call them 3 but they are actually one. When one divides into 3 and become separate that is the problem. Vitality  (jing) has the power to reproduce our actions in daily life like wake up, go to work, wash dishes, cook dinner, go to sleep, pay bills. If jing is strong we have the ability,  the Chi to reproduce and complete all task necessary. When shen or spirit is in charge of all activities and non activity all is done with out error.

 

Management would most likely frown upon photos of human passion fruit. , just saying.

Sure, we can have fun being a rock collector.  But it's more fun if you have someone doing it with you.

Hi All,

 

Without having to wait for a response from TDB, there will not be such a post.

 

It will be an utter DISRESPECT for Lao Tzu and those of his ethnicity, among others.

 

Also my ancestors will surely come into my dreams and cut away my passion fruits for disgracing the family name.

 

In the dreams I will protest that I had been colonized and I champion freedom of the press.

 

This will definitely follow - my ancestors will shaft my detached into my mouth to shut me up.

 

In a strange sense I feel good about this post ~ I have found some of my cultural roots...

 

- LimA

 

P.S. No photo of human passion fruits but photos of passion fruit flowers ~ focus on the last frame.

‘Yi’s’ greatest distinguishing feature is its transformations. Like with the sun and the moon, in the daytime the sun shines, and in the evening, the moon rises. Yang changes into Yin, Yin changes into Yang. The ‘Yi’ also follows this pattern with the Tai Chi diagram’s Yang unbroken lines “—” and Yin broken lines “–” , that is, Tai Chi gives birth to the two polarities of Yin and Yang. The two polarities give birth to the four divisions, the four divisions give birth to the eight trigrams, going one step further after the arrangement and composing of the eight trigrams the 64 hexagrams are generated.

Within some passion fruits are sEEds.

Don't ask me what it means. You wrote it, not me!

 

EDIT:

 

Also, the manner in which you arrange your quotes is false. You suggest that I wrote that when I never did. I do not appreciate you falsely quoting me.

I did not falsely quoted you.

 

I just highlighted and clicked 'Quote this'.

 

I have no malice aforethought.

 

Apparently it is the scheme of things at TDB.

 

TDB please comment.

I quoted you. You highlighted your own words that I had quoted and attributed it to me.

 

Here is the actual quote:

I understand you have no malice, but you need to be more careful with your words. The written word has no context. All it has is what is written. It is very important to write clearly otherwise people will misunderstand you.

Yes, that goes for all of us.  Especially me.  But then, I have never failed (as far as I know) to clarify myself when questioned.

 

Oh!, yes, there was one time.  I accused falsely.  When I realized it I reported myself as being a shit-head.
