: I mean 'objectively'--as opposed to what it

: Imagine you are suspended in Heaven by magic

: Do you see any out-of-syncness there?

: In a way I do, Steve. The part about just
: "watching the comings and goings down
: below" sounds a bit out-of-sync to me.

: Being a fatalist (according to Butch), I

: appreciate the lovely person I am, and act
: from my heart. Simply observing doesn't
: sound very appealing to me.

: Do you feel out-of-sync when you become an
: active participant? Or did I miss your

: By 'objectively' I mean from the perspective
: of the dao. 'Wires,' my attempt to
: illustrate what 'from the perspective of the
: dao' might look like.
:
: From the perspective of the dao it seems to
: me everything looks fine. No
: out-of-syncness anywhere. Same old same
: old. Business as usual.
:
: A lot of 'this' morphing into 'that.'
: Beauty into ugliness. Ugliness into beauty.
: Love into hate. Hate into love.
:
: Now stepping to the left. Now stepping to
: the right.

Well, Steve, you're assuming Dao has a perspective, and that you can sense what that is?
I sense what you're trying to say, but it seems to me the only in-synchedness you can ponder is your own viewpoint. Not that there's anything wrong with that. :-)
My in-synchedness tells me that beauty/ugliness or love/hate is purely subjective. How can one morph into the other unless you give them those names? When true beauty is felt, there is no ugliness. When true love is felt, there is no hate.
Caveat: If someone keeps trying to inundate me with ugliness and/or hate, I scoot my lovely ass outa there.
Your choice?
