Zhuangzi's philosophy

[Darkwater]

I am not particularly into Tao,greatly preferring the Brahman Tridosha over simply yin/yang.

To his assertion when"arguing that our life is limited and the amount of things to know is unlimited. To use the limited to pursue the unlimited, he said, was foolish." is perfectly correct.

This is backed up by the *old* parable quoted at Luke 18.27 "And he said, The things which are impossible with men are only possible with God."

Zhuangzi exhibits very clearly human template thought pattern in the very little excerpt I have read from his*inner 7* books.I don't imagine I shall have any difficulty in acceoting any of his other philosophical statements as they present themselves,moreso I expect them to be proved the more they are tried.

My only concern is that he will not go far enough with his philosophy,maybe losing some of the muli-dimensional aspect by keeping things rigid & lateral.

I have awoken as many things in many situations,ideally I identify & get used to my enviroment(non human) & get on with it trusting to instinct or doing that which does come naturally.

Anyone else get this in *dream*(am I man dreaming as butterfly,or butterfly dreaming of being man)?

I can explain the mental state too,involving promethian flame & core thought pattern.

Namaste

Jonah & the whale(giant goldfish)

Jonah was a great prophet,I do not think this is in dispute.If you apply Zhuangzi's philosophy it is easy to accept his explanation that he(his mundane body) was in bed 3 days,while his spirit was pondscum in another dimension,until eaten by a goldfish and absorbed.

Ask a goldfish if it likes living in water,it shall think you crazy & wonder what the hell you are on about.
