    Where in The Laozi is that said?

     

    71 Limitation

     

    Not-knowing is true knowledge.

    Presuming to know is a disease.

    First realize that you are sick;

    then you can move toward health.

     

    The Master is his own physician.

    He has healed himself of all knowing.

    Thus he is truly whole.

     

    48 Inaction

     

    In pursuit of knowledge,

    every day something is added.

    In the practice of the Tao,

    every day something is dropped.

    Less and less do you need to force things,

    until finally you arrive at non-action.

    When nothing is done,

    nothing is left undone.

     

    True mastery can be gained

    by letting things go their own way.

    It can't be gained by interfering.

    I hope this answers your question

    Indeed, we are told by both Lao Tzu and Chuang Tzu that we should unlearn all the 'knowledge' we have been taught and live simplistically.

    My rock-crystal pendulum tells me that simplistic

    is to live eco-friendly...

    Only then can a human life be fulfilled

    I look forward to meeting other followers of the Tao.

     

     

    Welcome David,

     

    I am confident that you shall find

    what you look for in the forums

    The TAO explains its working through numbers:

     

    Chapter 42 : 1 created 2. 2 created 3 . 3 created the structures

     

    1+2=3 +2=5 = 81 minus 5 = 76 divided by 4 (the structures) = 19

     

    To fully comprehend chapter 71

     

    read also Chapters 52, 33 and 14

     

    This sequence shows you the essence of the source...

    UPDATED LINK:

    Read Chapter 71 and diminish 71 with 19 : 3 times

  11. Posted

    The same here ; 00:38 = 3+8= 11

     

    Verse 11 of the TAO shows you how the make tools that can answer your question

     

    Verse 73 is the logical response to your inquiring mind

    (the rule : a TAO verse interacts with the diminishing of the verse number with 19

    If the TAO verse number is smaller than 20 then add 62 to know the response)

     

    so here verse 11 leads to 73 : click on 11

     

    to fabricate the tool : Page 2

     

    and have a dictionary that uses example sentences that explain the words...

    I use the " Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English - edition 2003)

    or you can use the on line version. Instead of asking a page number

    ask with the pendulum 3 starting letters followed by an asterisk sign

    Ask what word and explanation that has the answer to your question,

     

    All your questions shall be answered...

    But please, don't ask what time it is <_<

    Ok then, go outside of your house and find a tall tree. Then ask it a question, by whispering in its ear. Is that better?

    Verse 11 of the TAO shows you how the make tools that can answer your question

     

    Verse 73 is the logical response to your inquiring mind

    (the rule : a TAO verse interacts with the diminishing of the verse number with 19

    Actually, I'd have to add one more provisio to the list: 3) Completeness. A view that fully encapsulates yours, but reasons further beyond it in more depth and greater detail can help you reach your own goals better than the one you currently hold, provided that the more sophisticated view is (at least) as rigorous, well-formulated and well-reasoned as your present view.

    Sometimes I don't know what's wrong with people. Are Buddhists aware that we're supposed to be striving for true omniscience, no matter what knowledge such a lofty goal may require, or are we just letting the maras lead us deeper and deeper into the pits of ignorance?

     

    I agree with this conclusion. Life is an eternal reality and therefore all intelligent life is here to

    accept the fact that Nature is too beautiful not to be true.

    So, striving for an ecological way of living

    is the right TAO...

    "Now learn a lesson from the fig tree. When its branches bud and its leaves begin to sprout, you know that summer is near. In the same way, when you see all these things, you can know his return is very near, right at the door. - Matthew 24.32

     

    I am a true agnostic, and thereby I do not understand Religious Teachings such as :

     

    - Bhuddism : all Life is suffering and the main goal is to be free from suffering...

    - Christianity : all Life is sinful and the main goal is to accept He that died for all the sinners...

    - Islam : all Life is rejecting all other Religions and the main goal is to live by the Koran...

    Etc....

     

    By the way : the word religion is from a Latin term : " relegere "

    which means to carefully take another look :excl:

     

    Can you then tell me if you agree with the message of the celestial flower?

    And should earthly flowers stay in their habitat?

    Hi Rik,

    Thanks for the link and article - If I understand you correctly, you are saying that the crystal should be wrapped in regular Scotch tape, then this is attached to a non-metal string material for use - any particular reason for the avoidance of metal in the pendulum? I've experimented with these in the past and noticed others using both metallic and non-metallic materials, but I don't have much experience - I will try out your suggestions and let you know how things go.

    Cheers,

    R

     

    Hello R,

     

    Thanks for the interest in the pendulum method.

    The pendulum guided me to the word "Eclectro magnetism" and "resonance'' : each material reacts different in those global influences

    and metals tend to block the rock crystal quartz resonance.

     

    I look forward to hear your experiences and results.I am particular interested

    in how the method with the use of a dictionary works with different users.

    Thanks for the links

     

    Interesting Quote from Milton, Metal Dog

     

    This leads to the conclusion that it is well worth

    to restore Nature and chase " the Polluters "

     

    As long as Humans think they can own land

    so long shall the air and the waters be polluted ...

    ( free association on a Native American saying :

    ' Man can no more lay claim on the land he walks upon

    than lay claim on the air that he breathes... " )
