Flowing / Swaying
Knowledge is holding power: directing actuality or enabling skill. Thus, knowing thinks as a kind of doing, taking-up, having-in-hand, putting-to-work. Knowledge embraces interference (striking-between) not only establishing but proliferating differences, setting apart and breaking down until the world is an infinity of divisions.

The physicist Lee Smolin’s recent book, Time Reborn, links the crisis in physics with its failure to acknowledge the fundamental reality of time.

Boon of Dandelions 9
Dozing content on mid-may morning Cool pillow against my cheek Iced coffee just enough to keep me from going back into dreamland Birds squawking at the humid heat Sun bright, day brilliant Writing thinking planning ———————- My futon is tight up in the eastern corner of my room. I lay…

Boon of Dandelions 7
Anything done to excess opens the door to more excesses. The spiral downward–slow or fast–can only be arrested with real moderation born of bold honesty. Any Existenz who lies to himself with the con game of “I am NOT an addict…” or who buries his being in the pharmacon of…

A Psyche the Size of Earth ~ James Hillman
See on Scoop.it – Pahndeepah Perceptions There is only one core issue for all of psychology. Where is the “me”? Where does the “me” begin? Where does the “me” stop? Where does the “other” begin? For most of its history, psychology took for granted an intentional subject: the biographical “me” that…

Knowing white, abiding in black; like this order under Heaven. Like this order under Heaven- never losing eternal virtue, returning at last to infinity. Knowing…

Daodejing 26
#26* Heaven is the root of lightness. Tranquility masters recklessness. Therefore the Sage travels all day careful to abandon nothing. Even in the face of luxury, like the swallow he flies undistracted. Why is the King with 10,000 chariots reckless with his kingdom? When lightness loses its root, recklessness loses…

#24* A show-off never learns A know-it-all never shines A braggart never achieves A boaster never gets ahead All of this is most unnecessary Seen from the viewpoint of the Way The person on the Way avoids all of this Because such things are disgusting. *Translation by Wenlong Lu &…
