: The core Taoist concept of yin and yang is
: not yin and yang. It is yin/yang. Yin and
: yang are simply two different ways of
: looking at the same thing.
: "Change" is just a different way
: of looking at the same thing. Change is the
: product of divided thinking. Relative
: thinking. Dualistic thinking. Split-mind
: thinking.
:
: There is only the whole.

josef,

30 years. That long. I won't go there because there is no time like the present. You don't happen to have an original copy of the I Ching by Fu Zi just lying around your forest retreat? Do ya, do ya huh?

You are right. It is time for me to take a sincere look at the I Ching. I have a copy of John Blofeld's I Ching and picked up an I Ching workbook just the other day. Great minds think alike.
