"Nothing in the realm of thoughts or ideologies is absolute.

In ancient times, people lived holistic lives.
They didn't overemphasize the intellect, but
integrated mind, body, and spirit in all things.
This allowed them to become masters of knowledge
rather than victims of concepts.

Knowing nothing, you will be aware of everything.

If you correct your mind, the rest will fall into place.

The Tao gives birth to One.
One gives birth to yin and yang.

Thinking and talking about the Integral Way are not the same as practicing it.
Who ever became a good rider by talking about horses?

Unless the mind, body, and spirit are equally developed and fully integrated, no spiritual peak or state of enlightenment can be sustained.
This is why extremist religions and ideologies do not bear fruit.

True self-cultivation involves the holistic integration of mind, body, and spirit."

Just a few words from Lao Tzu's "Hua Hu Ching". I thought you or others might be interested.
