Re: A Different Cosmology

Yep, we're all talking about the same stuff...just using different words to say it. The mystics of all spiritual traditions know this, and physics is coming very close to saying the same thing. All this bantering about it began this way or that way is merely semantics and a mental exercise of the conceptual mind which will not lead to the truth. Whether you call it God or Allah or the Light or primal energy or Buddha nature or the DAO or empty space...they are all just names; the map.

Better to laugh and enjoy what is!

My version of your version:

Therefore the Master
acts without doing anything
and teaches without saying anything.
Things arise and she lets them come;
things disappear and she lets them go.
She has but doesn't possess,
acts but doesn't expect.
When her work is done, she forgets it.
That is why it lasts forever.
