RE: Tuesday Musings on Tao Te Ching: Chapter 1
Excellent. I've been looking into Buddhism recently after reading "The Art of Communication". The author pointed out the practice of bowing as an act of awareness of the little Buddha within each of us. The "little Buddha" representing the highest potential of enlightenment, kindness and understanding within. I may end up taking that as my new greeting.
In regard to this chapter, I'm reminded of something Walter Russell suggested. That there is universal source that is Light and that that light exist everywhere, darkness is just space within the spectrum that we cannot see or chose not to. Which also reminds me of Dewey Larson's "Inverse Theory" which suggests the opposite of the whole is 1/the whole. It makes me wonder if matter and spirituality are a similar relationship, thus the final thought describing the same thing.
Very grateful to you both for your efforts to bring this to us.
I bow to the Buddha within each of you!
I dig that, and remember how much the importance of bowing was focused on in most every martial arts class I took as a kid, regardless of the style or the culture from which it originated.
I love that!
That certainly aligns with many of the teachings I have come across, which basically place physical reality as one side of the coin, which has consciousness as its other.
Thanks for your thoughts brother!
