A most informative and interesting post RP. Thank you.

I've learned much from your post, even though I am somewhat familiar with, as you know, both the I Ching and the Tao.

I read where the I Ching is the oldest "book" ( manuscript ), and that the Chinese writing symbols have nothing similiar to the I Ching trigrams.

The Tao diagram is inspirational.
So many things represented in such a simple but dynamic symbol.
And correctly so I believe.

Well I'm going to reread your post RP as I learned there is much to be gleaned from a second reading of your posts.

Thanks again RP for the research and information sharing.
