THE OFFHAND-LOOKING art of deceiving stubborn diplomats could go a long
way towards: "Speak the truth, as they never believe it." [Lesson from
Camillo di Cavour]
ContentsBriefing: No Silly Feast
Speaking of Lao, a good reader is supposed to give careful thought or
ear to insistent messages, no matter what quarters they might have
originated in at first. Over and above that, one should take the best from
others - including Lao Zi - and perhaps claim some credit as well, as time
goes by.Where only group pressure or enforced textbook study makes one read Tao Te Ching, one functions in a bit degraded ways. Still we say: "Enjoy the feast of reading Lao." You may find the world is slowly enriched and less endangered by it, but we don't guarantee these things. Be that as it may, some identical basic insights can also be seen in the teachings of Jesus. [Adj 6-12] Dao lore has its love-making manuals, and one is meant to cultivate real wisdom with enough hold. It leads into good joys of having healthy, tasty meals, where nobody is helped by taming. [See Fro]. The cream of artists strive for that too - at least for eating - not always in accordance with a saying of Johann von Goethe on the value of sound moderation. Speaking of ancient China and ancient lore, many over-all conditions have changed. The large society has changed. Nature is still blooming, but it is strictly lorded over by folks and men these days, and much is depleted. Besides, there are many conform ways that are not good for man and woman and child and animal as well. Conditions have changed. One has to live with them. Murky waters ahead. Sage Words

included in that. Yoga-contemplation can combat stress, is a major cause
of physical disease. Because of such findings yoga
and meditation
(read: contemplation) have gone mainstream outside Norway, according to
CNN. There is a dire need. Yet we do not advocate Eastern and untempered
yoga and meditation for various reasons. Cf. independent findings on
TM.Basic stand: "Good tools in proficient hands fairly often pays. If not, look better."
SOME GOOD THINGS ARE FOUND INSIDE YOGA TRAINING - LESSONS ON CALM, DEEP
BREATHING ARE JUST A FEW OF THEM.
