It is pointless to seek to be one or none with the tao just realise you already are wheather you know or not makes no difference haha if you wish to detach yourself from all things do but the world is like music and we are supposed to dance

Buddha

Good video! The last line is definitely an interesting idea.

[iZenBuddha]

"We do not become "one" with the Infinite. We become none with it."

I usually don't post comments, but this last line made me say damn aloud. It is probably one of the smartest things I've ever heard.

[taoist77]

Indeed! IT is what IT is, the name is not the named. Perception of reality clearly is not reality itself. It is the 'subjective' that is illusory, beyond objective existence there is only nothing.

[wendelgyutb]

if we do not become "one" or "none" with it, doesn't make difference, do?

this aren't just words?

Makes difference on our way?

How can someone know what's the point?

Thanks and congratulations for te good reflexion!

[volk81]

The point is stop clinging to ideologies and start living your life.

It was Hegel who first came to the conclussion, in western thought, that since Being is universal, knows no limit and therefore has no definition (for a definition implies 1) limits, 2)differences) then Being is nothingness, for nothingness is also universal without limit. This was said in a formal sense. But it was Heidegger who best understood this, not in the formal sense, but as an ontological truth. Being and nothingness are the essence of that which is ("ens" or thing)

[Negationism]

Yes.

[ZhuangziZhou]

@ohem I would say that this is not quite what "nothingness" means in Eastern thought though.

[monQsurlaKomod]

stop talking: that is tao...

[jojoinhere]

one thing that trouble me,is desire a good thing? because that's what driven our evolution.

[OhmgrownCron]

gets so confusing lol

[MenoftheInfinite]

This is an excellent "little" presentation encompassing many "big" ideas. Saying anything about the ideas expressed would be redundant.

[welsh4360]

Don't our false concepts affect the actions of our body which is part of reality? Even though are are false aren't they still real in some sense?

[Negationism]

Yes. False concepts are real in the sense that they exist, just as lies are real in the sense that they signify some premise or statement. But the statement or premise of a lie is false, and does not correspond to reality.

[jesuisravi]

Is this an artificial voice? para que? This seems like a special case of the Lucknow disease. haha But some good thoughts are here.

[Negationism]

Yes, these videos use "AT&T Natural Voices."
