  1. What does 元亨利贞 really mean?

    ‘Tao ‘ sounds the same as the Dutch word for rope (touw).

    Sorry, my mistake, it does work

    The “threefold” = the binary poles + integration. It’s always about integration: {陰 (yin) + 陽 (yang)} ~> 中 (zhong)
  4. It’s always about integration: {(blue/white (thinking/morality) + red/orange (survival/sexuality)} ~> yellow/green (free will/love).

    It said “popularise” - from the adjective popular, meaning "suited to or appealing to the common people”. Cats don’t qualify.

  13. What does 元亨利贞 really mean?

    No, I just looked at the intro, and a bit of the beginning. It’s all a bit outside my knowledge area. I was hoping someone else would comment. Looking forward to your analysis. I remember Awaken claiming Xia China was in the Nile delta. There’s a Dutch guy (van Praag) suggesting Daoism was started by teachings from Jews living in China. I really don’t have the knowedge to comment, but feel rather sceptical.
