Iain, quoting:
> He may of told those who don't know of it not to speak of it. I think you're right. > He spoke of it himself did'nt he? I noticed that! ;-) I left it for you to mention it. But he HAD to. He wanted to leave the country, and the border guard would not let Old Lao leave if he did not first write down all he could about the subject. So goes the legend. So, standing on one foot, essentially, he wrote his slim volume, and the world has had it ever since. We have the border-guard and Lao to thank for it. ;-) --Joe --- In [email protected], "iain" wrote: > > --- In [email protected], "Joe" wrote: > > > > Iain, > > > > In Taoist cosmology, I only care to go back as far as the One. > > > > Old Lao himself warns us NOT to speak of the "Tao".
