There’s nothing in your post to tell me what you think about the idea that I have presented 3 or 4 times now. - LaustenI responded every time but you don’t seem to get it.
What in the passage is superstition?Which passage? Yours or Gia Fu Feng’s. Both are nonsensical to me. You tell me what your passage means to you and we can check your idea out to see if it is delusory.
What is the flaw in the philosophy? What do you think the passage means? You have answered none of those.What philosophy? If you are talking about an ancient Chinese philosophy hidden in the western translation of the Tao Te Ching, I can tell you outright that it is not there. It is not even there in the Chinese texts. However, there are many Taoist philosophies in both the east and the west today. Each of them is an ideology formed to validate a superstition for serving a purpose. Easterners are mainly into religion, witch-doctoring, and spiritual powers. Mao ripped them out. Westerners, mainly Americans, need the Tao to validate atheism and its godless secular humanistic values.
Look, the Chinese Classics are not Dale Carneigie self-help books. They are oracles; not the kind where a diety like a Lao Tsu speaks to you. They are inscrutable and compel you to look within for an answer. Seems like even the Chinese couldn’t do it and had decided to go west. The old man didn’t hold his breath. He wrote the Tao and walked away.
