Week 9 -- Towards a New Synthesis

• My E-Prime Day - describe your day, only using English Prime -- It seemed to be a bright beautiful to my eyes as I felt the warm feeling sun on my body, which was covered by clothes and maybe interfering with the actual warmth of the sun rays. I walked to the corner relatively slowly for my normal pace and stopped to look at an appearingly unhappy person who looked like an old man to me. Everything seemed ok to my observations in the immediate vicinity so I continued on with my travels toward where the grass seemed greener to my eyes.

• Can I synthesize East and West? -- Yes. At this point in time we are at a cross roads in the knowledge of humanity. We are seeing and experiencing the integration of eastern and western philosophies, technologies and societies. East and West are but one. As all things have come from one source there is an inseparability that is clear and outstanding when one can halt the prejudice of the mind and allow the ever flowing oneness to flow. Once one is able to stop the acquired prejudices of the mind the imaginary walls, which are held by the mind and create the illusion of separateness, vanish and the congruency and harmony manifests to that individual as an ever present, and all inclusive, dance. There is a balance to the universe which has no option but to be maintained. This equilibrium, the Tao, is in perfect balance and at the same time absolutely polarized. We see this in the approach to the world in our East vs. West theory. The "West" is very external, material driven, and mental. The "East" is very internal, spirit oriented, and subtle. These are merely poles of the same event. Just as a magnetic field has a positive and a negative. It is all just a matter of perspective.
