My entire professional career is based on developing and applying logic. I love it so much that I have learned (through zen training - koan study specifically) that I must be very careful not to become attached to my love of logic. That might be why you see me protesting much to most of Edgar's posts. > . are you telling me you have changed your mind now..? [No, I'm not sure where you got that impression. Because I say there is some role for logic in art? Yes, there is a role (or could be a role), but it is not the primary process. The more logic put into art the more art approaches engineering - and the more creativity put into engineering the more it approaches art. Art and engineering are actually the same things - human creations. They only differ on the emphasis of logic versus creativity employed. > > . logic is part and parcel of any human endeavour > we live in an ordered world [Bill!] Logic is indeed part and parcel of any human endeavor, but not of Buddha Nature. There is no dualisitc 'part and parcel' in Buddha Nature. It is holistic. It is Just THIS! > what planet are you coming from?...merle [Bill!] I don't come FROM anywhere. I am. I am here.
