  5. 1) Not limited to examination of former lives neither limited to humans more as in causes leads to effects. 2) The knowing manifest itself only in the present, the thoughts of either "past" or "future" is happening right now, if it cease it also ceases right now. 3) When one wants to eat pizza, one orders one. The Pizza is relate to the company/employees/customers. There is no independently existing Pizza; meaning without either its oven, the company or the customers. There would be no pizza. Likewise with Humans, things are inter-related. The different elements comes together and separates.
  6. Finding the higher self.

    higher is a misleading word; such as lower is what it creates. seeing that it is low, calling it low; seeing that it is high, calling it high; even when one jump from the low to high, what will stop you from coming back to the low since the low is still there? observe into your being; "What is actually the self you are seeking" "What is actually thinking?" bring it together, play with it, let it gets bored of itself, it will throw itself away.

    This meatbag's views: How does one stands on duality? How does one stands on non-duality? Such must be Heaven's; not Man's work. P.S. Hope the bone-setting goes well. Take Care David.

  18. Chuang Tzu Chapter 3, Section B

    The One-foot guy is not handicapped in anyway. What does One-foot symbolized? What is the confinement? How does this relates to Confucians or Mozist? The Coop, the confinement that is. References Khin Shih to Victor's translation of Idle Intruder. And see why his action is so. It all relates to the quote below. Classics! Have a nice weekend!

  23. Chuang Tzu Chapter 3, Section A

    Yes, all life knows it. But would the philosophers understand that?
  24. Chuang Tzu Chapter 3, Section A

    No Zhuangzi didn't say that. The thing about seeking is that the others (that is not sought) got neglected. Like when sharing a dish in Eastern culture; one goes for only the meat. One forgets about the other stuffs; i.e. vegetables, mushrooms and etc. The life is limited, the principles of myriad things are unlimited. This can be reference back to the previous chapter about the tailored bird and the mole. We should took only what it needed and use them to nourish life.
