Re: Q Metaphysics: You Are That Which You Perceive // new paradigm on page 58
Reading the Tao Teh Ching this morning, thought I'd leave this here:


25

THERE was Something undefined and yet complete in itself,
Born before Heaven-and-Earth.

Silent and boundless,
Standing alone without change,
Yet pervading all without fail,
It may be regarded as the Mother of the world.
I do not know its name;
I style it "Tao";
And, in the absence of a better word, call it "The Great."

To be great is to go on,
To go on is to be far,
To be far is to return.

Hence, "Tao is great,
Heaven is great,
Earth is great,
King is great."
Thus, the king is one of the great four in the Universe.

Man follows the ways of the Earth.
The Earth follows the ways of Heaven,
Heaven follows the ways of Tao,
Tao follows its own ways.


The Great Genius is in each of us!
 Quoting: Lady of Stars

Thanks. It's probably my favorite book. I still have the little copy I used to carry around in my pocket since I was about 12.

I think the 'four pillars' that hold up the Earth (in the Bible) and Tao, Heaven, Earth, Man are the four dimensions of reality.

Four dimensions supporting the illusion of the Earth (Awareness, Perspective, Space, and Time)

I've been looking at Amateur High Altitude Balloon footage. No Sonoluminescence to be seen. Though apart from the occasional picture with the sun, no stars either...

And what was the source of light on the pictures? :)

Some of these pictures and videos can be quite amusing. They seem to prefer 'fish eye' lenses.

The void = 4
Void Squared = 16

16 cycles of order and chaos?

I will unfold this "16" in the coming days
 Quoting: TheBecomingest

When you square nothing you get... nothing :)

But perhaps it is the awareness of 'nothing' that makes for the first bit of awareness (1st dimension), followed by perspective (second dimension).

I thought you had decided to change the ending.
 Quoting: Eductor

I changed it to 'chaos' instead of 'self-destruction' but perhaps a new ending will come to me when I'm dreaming about sandwiches :)
 Quoting: Taol

It's the part of "take away our love no more" that we discussed changing. Anyway, I think dreamtime is a great place for inspiration :)
 Quoting: Eductor

It's now, 'Take away our love of chaos, and remove us from the chains of self-destruction.'
 Quoting: Taol


Beautiful.

I might have read that as, “....and remove us from our chains of self destruction,”

I always found that extremely odd that they would name their telescope that. I mean, really.

Let us not forget that they are also one of the largest land holders in all the world.

Thanks for the information.

Why is it 'bottomless'? Because when you go down from the upper Earth to reach the lower one, the bottom becomes the top and perspective completely changes (through photons and axons that shift perspective, but I suppose I'll illustrate that later).

Lucifer 'rules' the underworld. That is the Earth where we find ourselves now.


The agents of Chaos have been quite busy over the past few thousand years.

They are human, of course. But, more importantly, these are narratives within our own perspective as the forces of Chaos and Order seek to find a balance.
 Quoting: Taol


This really resonates with my own experience. I’m looking forward to hearing you expound on it. Thank you in advance. :)

Taol "a surging water-deep" I swim right besides you to the great deep waters, realize I wont have the energy to swim back to shore. So you're here to s--- destroy the world after-all, as my reality shatters with nothing beneath my feet. I realize, at least I can breathe underwater in dreams. I whiff the smokey air from the bottomless pit. Deep calls to deep. A long swim indeed to reveal mirage upon mirage. With time flowing I find myself questioning why the hell didn't I just buy a boat.

Wouldn't living in an older home, rather than tearing it down, be recycling? Personally, I'd rather tear down an older home and start anew. We are house-hunting right now and the area we want in is all older homes. I'm looking for lots so we can build.
 Quoting: Eductor

Yes, I think it would. But new homes seems to be their preference, as well. It might be because the market is so competitive and it's quite difficult to sell a house that isn't new.

My understanding is that if you want to immigrate there, you have to have a permanent resident Visa and the only way to get that is with a job or be highly-skilled.
 Quoting: Eductor

There are some other ways. It doesn't really matter if you're 'highly-skilled' as there are plenty of highly-skilled Japanese. But, yes, it's quite difficult. (As it should be, I think.)
 Quoting: Taol


So why, just after reading this post, do I read this news item in the Netherlands?

Because of an aging work force, Japan wants to attract up to 345,000 work-immigrants.

Yes, and a big part of me realizes that it would be quite difficult, perhaps impossible, to move beyond ideology for this reason.

When an idea is resisted by others it becomes an ideology, it would seem.

There seems to be no other way, so I guess the time will have to come someday.

[link to www.nu.nl (secure)]
Because of an aging work force, Japan wants to attract up to 345,000 work-immigrants.
 Quoting: tuuur

It seems more likely propaganda rather than something that is 'wanted'. The people don't really like the idea of foreigners in Japan. The culture would have to change a lot for that. This is something probably being forced on them by the UN.

I think the article should read, "Japan being forced to take in at least 345,000 unskilled, welfare-dependant persons from third-world countries with very incompatible cultures"

Most of Japan's immigrants come from places like Korea and China. So, why not skilled Chinese immigrants? That wouldn't suit the narrative.

Japan doesn't really have a problem with a lack of labor, as their use of technology is taking away the need for it. Populations grow and shrink, as they're supposed to.

The focus is more on destroying Christian values, so I think Japan doesn't have to worry too much about it.
