Paul: Well I'm sorry if I've burst you bubble or
generally just pissed
you
off. I agree that it is a monism though, as above.
Although what
you've
described is a trinity to me. Again, maybe we define
monism
differently.
Paul, Case,
I am not really clear why we have to choose...
"The Way gave birth to unity,
Unity gave birth to duality,
Duality gave birth to trinity,
Trinity gave birth to the myriad creatures.
The ten thousand things carry yin and embrace yang.
They achieve harmony by combining these forces."
- Tao Te Ching, Lao Tzu, # 42, c 500 BC
