Hi Jeff,

 

Yes - the picture.

 

But in particular to these in the picture - Jing Qi Shen Interlinked.

 

- LimA

 

Jing, Qi and Shen were never really separated. More like more refined views of the same thing. Sort of layers within layers.

Of course not.

 

But the ALPHA is always challenged in Nature.

Not separated within Light?

I don't know if I have a self.  I looked under each armpit and didn't see nothin'.  First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then, by golly, there's a mountain again.  Once upon a time long ago thinking stopped for a couple of days then I had no mental sense of myself, and yet I was still there.  No troubles.

 

I aint concerned about no steenking trouble.  Lao Tzu sez trouble comes from having a body, so bring it on.

I have the patience if I want to be lazy, then other times I don't bother to exercise patience, I say screw it and jump into the fray head first.

Guess it depends on how you define “light”, but yes, you describe Shen, Qi as Jing as sort of layers of “attached” light.

Hi Jeff,

 

When I was younger, I embraced these happily when I first time saw them -

(a) I saw the light 

(b) Aha

(c) I see

(d) OMG

(e) It blows my mind

 

(a) to (e) moments pertain to - realizations and pleasure at suddenly  (i) solving a problem (ii) understanding a joke (iii) learning a truth...

 

But when I started to embrace Taoism and Buddhism as philosophies, (a) to (e) turn into my own set of figuring things out - sometimes through very difficult periods of living. I began to search inward... towards consciousness. 

 

Perhaps "light" can be linked to Consciousness... but I am not going to define it. Why?

 

"Squares and corners spoken are not the eternalness [of squares and corners]" - dawei @ TDB on 24 June 2018.

Because you do not want to? :)

Life has no meaning for you? Not curious at all? 

 

I am very curious. Probably one of issues... :)

Curious about what?  If not "life" or existence... :)

Hi Jeff,

 

I am curious about C as in context. 

 

I will not speak of my one favorite context C as dawei has indicated thus:

"Squares and corners spoken are not the eternalness [of squares and corners]"

 

Thus - "C spoken is no not the eternalness of C",

Context C makes "life" lovely and existence a sentence without a pretense - past, present or future.

Hi dawei

 

What is the difference between 'consort' and 'consortium'?
