It seems I've suddenly : come to face the realization in that : knowledge vs knowing quandary is the result : of thinking. So, what gar thought he knew : about certain aspects of Daoism is now lost : in the fairy tale of history. : : Sitting here at the computer looking out my : window as the sun rises over the frosty : covered fields, words like Daoism seem much : like the ground fog that clings in the : valley. If sunlight brings clarity then fog : is the mystery. : : So once again, thank you Bao Pu, it's not : what i think i know, it's a feeling that : seems to be what resonates within that : guides me in this perception of existence. : : in peace, : gar : : : : : --Previous Message-- : Hi friends, : : I don't know if there's anyone interested in : this kind of stuff, but just in case ... : : Here are the links to the first two of a : series of explorations on whether classical : or philosophical Daoism was/is a real thing : or whether its a fabrication of modern : scholars. : : : : http://baopu81.wordpress.com/2011/10/16/classical-daoism-is-there-really-such-a-thing-part-1/ : : : : http://baopu81.wordpress.com/2011/10/21/classical-daoism-is-there-really-such-a-thing-part-2/ : : : : Happiness and Harmony, : : : :
