[SA] Yes, I noticed your spelling of Taoist, Chuang Tzu and Lao Tzu. The Eastern Philosophy and Religion professor that I was a student under used these spellings: Daoist, Zhuangzi, and Lao zi, also, Daodejing (which I believe you may know as Tao te(?) and for jing I don't know. The spellings I use are also in the recent books I on the topic. My professor told me (he was a student of Roger Ames) he uses these spellings due to their correspondence with the actual sounding of the words in Chinese. In Chinese Taoism would sound like Daoism, etc... I also spell these words this way just cause I'm used to spelling them this way and don't know the other spellings that much though I have seen Daoism spelled as Taoism.
[Krimel] I say Tomato. You say Domato. [SA] Yes, though I'm not very familiar with the conflict between the Yellow Emperor and Zhuangzi, it would seem their conflict did fall somewhere along these lines between the written law and the law in ones heart. This is why I'm fond of dynamic quality. It is embedded on each level or any static pattern leaving its' wildness, its' innocence, its' freedom, and integrity intact. [Krimel] What it lacks in precision it gains in clarity. Worth the trade I'd say, so heck yeah! [SA] Yes, and I see this as the pebble that starts with you stepping in some weeks ago and declaring that the levels can be more of a hang-up if we forget its' metaphorical truth, and begin to think the levels are somekind of absolute truth that can be discovered somewhere 'out there'. That's why I hang on to dq embedded in static patterns and sometimes mention that dq=sq. Each hold their own integrity and definition, but each also stand together intermixing depending on the inclination and context one desires to demonstrate. [Krimel] Right any level worth noticing will smack you in the face. Until one does you might as well enjoy the ripples on the pond, a mayfly landing, school of minnow boiling the surface, bream learning to fly.
