How can there be any deviance from the principle (the dao part) anyhow?

”when good and bad arise the Dao is destroyed”

I am not really understanding this question. Can you ask it again using different words .

 

I dont know what you mean by 'deviance from the principle '  , its like you are asking how yin and yang can 'deviate' from dao  .

 

( if you are , consider    n⁺  +  n^-  =  0  .  )

Are all three pillars ‚humane‘? (As in residing in a human spirit?)

 

Considering they are part of the Tree of Life , it is considered to permeate all things .

It would seem that the differentiation between ‚four worlds‘ is arbitrary

 

Not at all , according to kabbalah .  But it might take some study of the subject before one sees this .

 

and not necessarily a consequence of the diagramm.

 

Not understanding again .   The diagram is 'a consequence' of a teaching  and a system , the system was not developed from the diagram .

 

Why are several spheres a world?

 

Because some of those worlds are 'higher' and 'pure' and some are a combination of energies .

 

We have to remember it is 'worlds' .  We could say  Dao is a 'world'  ( level ) ,  yin and yang are a world and the 10,000 things are a world .   Here , 'worlds' are a 'level of existence or conceptions .

 

Is this intuitive or experiential gnowledge for you?

 

The experiential part came later as a confirmation of learnt theory .   After a while it  transforms to 'intuitive'  *   and that is when the benefits of such an outlook become apparent .

 

* intuition, it has been shown, is actually fueled by experience and learning . After some time it beds in and knowledge and solutions seem to arise 'intuitively'  without conscious mentation .

 

(Seems I‘d need to take a look at that book of yours, bes! Seems very complex.)

Thanks, that’s probably the most helpful answer. 
 

I‘m also not sure what is kabbalistic ‘tradition’ and what is nungalis interpretation here…

 

In the hermetic tradition I see it as (mainly ) two fold ; the descent and rising through the spheres ( see the two previous links I made on that ) and the benefits one gets from  the perception of relationships between things as learnt in the 'table of correspondences * - which is a list of the details of the basic  concepts  and how they relate to and interact with each other .

@Nungali (always knew you were very fond of neptune… but to put him on the top? Wouldn’t he get trouble with jupiter and don’t forget the sun…)

 

Obscure . Is this a quote ? It seems a response to something , without that original 'something' I cant be sure what it is referring to  .... it might be referring to my personal system I developed  ,  but that does not have Neptune at the top

 

Whats this Neptune at the top business ?   I also doubt the gender is 'he' ;  Neptune is feminine  (on the tree not as a Greek God )   I dont know what 'in trouble with Jupiter '  means  ( Jupiter is 'Jove'  or Zeus , the  'Boss God ' ? )   and the term 'forget ' relating to the Sun ???? .  I suppose that means the writer thought the Sun should be 'on top' - dont know why , the Sun is usually attributed to the center  ( solar system , in the body - heart , and on Tree of Life . )

Thank you for explaining your point of view, @Nungali! I guess I understand you better now.

There used to be someone on here called Cat and I did not wish to usurp the title.
