Sid,
Would you please list some of those books that you read on Taoism? Thank you.~Dan
My first introduction to Taoism was over 55 years ago in a book called “The Wisdom of Insecurity” by Alan Watts …his book discussed ideas completely unfamiliar to me,but nevertheless seemed to open up a door about life that I never considered before…he did write a more comprehensive book on Taoism prior to his death called “Tao:The Watercourse Way”.
I pursued my interest by reading the books by Lao-Tzu and Chuang-Tzu..it did require considerable reflection and contemplation to gradually understand its meaning… this came about by identifying the basic meanings in Tao as the Natural Intelligence, interrelationships and unity of the Universe,Yin / Yang as the identity of opposites,flowing with the “Water Course Way,and finding harmony by “letting go”.
Once I understood these basic concepts,I pursued this understanding by reading and exploring its relationship to many other sources including psychology,major religions,art,music and most recently the new concepts of the right brain.~Sid
How did you modify your wordpress theme so much? did you start with the ’sandbox’ template and just work from there? could you just plugin a template you got from elsewhere? thanks for any help Sid.
I use a standard available theme provided by WordPress called “Benevolence” by Theron Parlin…I then proceeded to edit it to my own satisfaction…to have the privilege of customizing a theme requires a fee of $15 to WordPress…I would be glad to send you a copy of my css code if you want to use it…your blog is very impressive and deserves an impressive theme ! ~ Sid
Sid,
If your “wake up” experience happened in your twenties why are you compelled to hunt and gather information about it now? I’m curious because I just had my wake up and am grateful that you have hunted and gathered! I have some poetry I created from the experience if you are interested.~Kelly
Kelly,
My exploration of the “awakening” experience continued through out my life particularly in my work counseling people who were undergoing a life crisis.
My decision to develop this blog occurred about 6 months ago when watching a video by Jill Bolte Taylor who described her right brain experience while having a stroke…I felt the right brain was a wonderful new metaphor to help understand the “awakening” experience which I could not find presented quite this way.
I would love to read your poem and perhaps share it as part of our communications.~Sid
Sid,I’m confused about the relationship between conscious and unconscious mind and right hemisphere/left hemisphere processing. Can you help clear my befuddled mind? Love your blog btw, ~ Julie
Hi Julie,
I like the Gestalt concept of figure / ground as a way of looking at the relationship between the left and right brain…the left brain and its ego is best seen as the figure and the right brain as ground…our left brain dominates our consciousness and tends to be hypnotized by the ego…while our right brain tends to be seen as irrelevant and ignored…it exist in our subconsciousness but when encouraged can become more consciously aware offering us a more wholesome and balanced view of life.
Sid
I find myself coming back to your web-site only because you have lots of awesome insights and also you happen to be at this a while, which is very impressive and tells me you know your stuff.
most studies are catalog into one of the four forces of nature, the process of any energy forming source must use all four forces of nature.
the human brain is subjected to all four forces, and in retrospect to conservation of energy.
slow down or fake out the efficiency sub routine in the brain and more energy will be used by the brain cells.
