    When Awareness[Father] knows Sensation[Mother Nature] relative-consciousness[Son] is born.

    The emotions and personality are the children ( 3 sons and 3 daughters )
    The parents are Creative ( the father ) and the Receptive ( the mother ).
    Again the dynamics of the I Ching is change.


    I think this helps explain why man has changing emotions and our personality, as these are also represented in the eight internal dimensions of my Idea of the Proton/Neutron.

    For mankind, = unites the things we choose.
    In nature, = unites all things.
    The difference between man and nature then, is only what we choose.
    The true differences in nature are none.
    "Man is the measure of all things."
    Yet man's measure has been found to have no certainty or truth.
    What if man removed measured uncertainty from his life,
    and made = his natural choice of truth?
    That would unite us with nature,
    and all would be truly one!

    This was found at the site you posted, Pat, and it seems to indirectly-imply that the wuji state would be the absolute state; and that neither being nor nothingness, in and of their respective states, do not exist outside of perhaps a binary-type functioning.

    Would you propose that the wuji state was a one time state, or continual as a creation factor for taiji to manifest?
    A very good question Nobody, and my answer is I'm not sure.

    You are right that the balance of complementary opposites ( Yin/Yang ), do come from the wuji state, and indeed may be the only absolute state and is still present in the Eternal Here and Now.

    Again I'm not sure.

    Best to you,

    Pat

    Re: An Idea

    The picture is not the Painter yet the Painter is in the picture, how could it not be so?
    The creature is not the Creator yet the Creator is in the creature, how could it not be so?
    The son is not the Father yet the Father is in the son, how could it not be so?
    When the glass of air is shattered the innner and the outer again become One.
    The binary action is a response within the Absolute, which contains all but is contained by none. How could it not be so? How the binary is interpreted is the faculty/funtion of the mind transmitting/transferring into thoughts, words, and images the perceptions and conceptions that arise from the sensations received via the conduit of its nerve ganglias receptors. The Creative Principle at work in man. [Like Father Like Son]

    Joseph Chilton Pearce does a most excellent work with his insights into the true nature of mind and reality. He defines culture as a "cosmic egg" structured by the mind's drive for the logical ordering of its universe, i.e. the sum total of our notions of what the world is and what we perceive its full potential to be, form a shell of rational thought in which we reside. This "logical universe" creates a vicious circle of reasoning that robs our minds [like a thief in the night] of power and prevents us from reaching our true potential. To step beyond that circle requires a centering and focus that today's society assaults on every level. It is a masterful discovery and synthesis in physics, biology, and psychology that reveals the extraordinary relationship of mind and reality and nature's blueprint for self-transcending humanity. Through the insights of Teilhard, Tillich, Jung, Castaneda, and others, he shows how our imagination can escape the "logical universe", and leap into a new phase of human evolution. "The Crack in the Comic Egg", subtitled; New Constructs of Mind and Reality. I recommend it.

    We don't have any of them YIN/Yang complementary opposite balance wuji states in our absolute states of Eternal Here and Now here in Reno, the state of Nevada.
    Why do you?
    What is that anyway?
    Where are you?
    Are you all serious?
    Hello!
    The closest thing I can think of as a wuji state is when my shorts are to tight.
    And thats a wuji of a problem!

    Re: An Idea

    Actually MJA the wuji state is probably as close as we'll get to your absolute =. I guess it would be similar to the void. There is no differenciation. All is the same, NOTHING.

    Now Mr. Smartie Pants for your wedgie.

    Best,

    Thanks,
    But I think life is much more simple and easier than a "cosmic egg."
    So is truth!

    NOTHING?

    If you think all as nothing, you have nothing.
    Wrong way Professor, wrong way!

    OK MJA how about all is everything. Which comes from nothing. Again the something from nothing paradox.

    Best,
