"If you want to give life to the mind of Tao, you must first cause the human mentality to die. When the human mentality dies, the whole gang of pillagers dies of itself like a snake without a head. When it has been destroyed to the point where there is nothing more to destroy, the mind of Tao gradually comes to life and sane energy gradually returns."
-- Liu I-ming (Thomas Cleary)

Each time I recycle a destructive thought,
it is distilled to a more potent poison.

We have two tiers, we could call them, and I believe they are more interconnected and perhaps of the same origin anyway. In an attempt--no not attempt--in an ongoing process of de-dualizing my thinking, feeling, living, dieing and so on, I can "see" the Yin/Yang of my thoughts and The Tao's Thoughts. I can see the Universal in the particular and the particular in the Universal. That's not new, of course, and it is actually a Max Weber theory for the study of culture and society. Social Science. Anyway, I agree that "my" thoughts are less controlled by a "me" than I may believe; however, I am and that is, so what am I to do if I don't think for myself about myself and "my" Self? Oy! I just messed myself up here real bad. Sorry 'bout that. I must think some more! May all your thoughts be in balanced precision and harmony with Tao--Always, Arrow
