Prophat,

You seem like a nice person and I'm honestly not trying to pass any judgement, but please allow me to be blunt about the truth as I know it.

When was the last time you applauded with one hand? The koan is provided as a means of exploring the role that duality and inter-relationship play in the search for knowledge and truth. I assure you, it is not an exercise in finger-bending.

Enlightenment is a responsibility, not a bragging right. As such, it can exist only in action, not words. Thus typically, when one declares themselves enlightened, they prove they are not.

The question regarding unstoppable-vs.-unmovable is not a question for answering in a rational three-dimensional context. The reality is, there seems to be no such problem set in existence. Our minds can create it, just like we can create the notion of two hands making a clapping sound, then remove one hand as if it existed independantly from the other, and expect our result to remain the same. It might appear possible to the mind, but it has no sensible expression. It doesn't exist except in our imagining.

Now I suppose one could argue that the same is true of everything and imagining is all we really have. I like the notion, though find it difficult given that I am still not satisfied with what my mind has created. Perhaps that is *my* failing and you have simply found Nirvana. :)

So allow me to ask, how can we create a Theory of Everything and be reasonably assured that it is true?
