Marsha, I believe the focus should be away from sex and more towards The two sides of ourselves. Sex is a metaphor. The power of these words lies in interpreting it With a universal mind.
Te is the working of Tao The practice of open awareness it is suggested by dualism. Not the dualism itself. If you search for something in these words You most certainly will find it. It is my interpretation that the ancients Saw the first division as male and female Greeks subject/object, Pirsig saw Romantic/classic, Then Dynamic/static. Much like yin yang. Return to the dynamic. Metaphors, symbols for concepts or more Accurately, an awareness. If you read those same words in this light perhaps They would take on new meaning. The only discrimination one finds in quality Is what one brings to it. I think you taught me that some time ago. -R "Friends are the ones who sing the song of your heart When you forget the words" > > > Re: 'Nine Nights with the Taoist Master' by Waysun Liao. Greetings, It seems that this book, and philosophy, is written from the man's perspective to men. While there is great wisdom, there is no advice for women. It is stated: "It's as if the Yang power must return into the Yin power, and the Yin must become the Yang power." (p.156) But it seems all the teaching is to help men return to and regain Yin power. "It is not enough just to connect Te back to Tao. You must also practice the power of weakness. This means to condition yourself to be humble, to be empty, to be low, to allow the subtle, invisible, yet ever almighty powerful Tao particle to flow into your body, to charge up your entire body as 'Tao body.'" (p. 158) This does not seem to be advice for women to help them reconnect to Yang power. There is something vital missing. I will continue to read in hopes of finding the other side of this wisdom. Marsha Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars...
