Hi Horse, My method is to **explore** philosophical questions, especially metaphysical questions, which deal with one's _relationship_ with reality. The question affects the answers which in turn affects the question. I am certainly interested in the insights that others may offer, though, without the animosity. I suppose in asking the questions, I was asking that others connect to the words in a way that was both equal to, but also greater than, intellectual and philosophical.
In the last three lines, I see that patterns emerge in the moment-to-moment experience. As an experience passes, so does the pattern, only to emerge again in the following moment as a different expression of that same pattern. This first chapter of the Tao Te Ching not only explains, intellectually and philosophically, a relationship, it embodies that relationship. Sorry.
