Re: let me get all esoteric

I'll have to go read this, I have read some stuff about Taoist when made me go ' You don't get it', because of the imposition of absolutes on something that is up to individual perspective, like try to explain the ineffable. It can't be done (ie, Tao is not God, Buddha is not God, please be not trying to make it so).

But whatever you think, I may not agree with it, but it doesn't really bother me if you don't agree with me. Because yeah, your truth is not my truth. And I never want it to be so.

ETA: He's already trying to explain what Tao is, and is not, and what is the essense of it. You just, no, no, no, no. You can't intellectualise Tao. It's not science. If you can define what it is, you're doing it wrong.
