| Superstition may be bullshit, but not so non-locality! Anno: "We have to get this non-locality" - or as Einstein called it, "spooky action at a distance" ... |

Man how wierd is this. I haven't had the internet for about a month (courtesty of UKOnline - if anyone knows a representative please smack him for me), so I haven't checked this site for about two weeks and have had to read three pages to get up to date. I also havent spoken to anyone much lately as I'm thoroughly ingrained in university in Brighton, and had absolutely no idea that the topic of discussion on the remember page was about the Tao.
So - guess what I was reading last night as a possible influence on a Marx essay I'm working on? The Watercourse way! Guess what section I was reading, and subsequently hilighted? The bit that Billy put up in his posting about "To be and not to be"! How bloody wierd is that - and what's more I've had the book out of the library for a week and only yesterday actually sat down and read it. Though I think superstition is rubbish I still find that very wierd... |

I've managed to find 10 hours worth of Alan Watts' lectures on-line,
mostly stolen - very unfortunately for Mark. I get transported to
Nefyn on a car ride to Spar with Anno. |

| Well well, I gave Anno the "Watercourse Way", which I shall now belatedly read myself only ever having skimmed it. I see Alan's son Mark is flogging his dad's recordings as MP3s - worth every cent in my view - I love Alan's claim that we're all charlatans, at least the best of us are! |

I'm not sure either. I'd been listening to Alan Watts recordings on
wu wei and I saw the message here, so I grabbed his 'Watercourse
Way' book. I turned right to the page where I had written "Anno!"
right next to that line of text from the Tao. I'm certain Anno read
the I Ching but apparently that didn't influence the Tao until after
Lao-tzu. |

| ... and PS, can't resist a plug for Napoleon, who twigged at least 30 years before anyone else that electricity and magnetism were also two sides of the same coin - thus "to absorb, to emit, to form new combinations: c'est la vie!" |

| Peter L, go to Past Fixes and check out # 33 = "Riot", written in the back of the Tao of Physics. Thanks for that, Billy - I'm (not so) amazed that Anno was on the same trail as Lao Tzu, even though I'm fairly sure he'd never read the Tao. But a big fan of Alan Watts... |

I loved seeing the parallels in that book! I'm not surprised Anno was so influenced by it! I'd love to see some of the poems he wrote in it, to know how Anno interepreted it all. I know I'll be impressed and I'll understand that little bit more about QP. I got interested in Physics all because of Collapse of the Wave Function..! How naive I am! You ought to give us lectures, Andrew!
Also, Billy, as rude as this might be, would it be possible to share some of the chord sequences in any Anno/KjD songs? Me & my friend are trying to learn some but you guys used some crazy chords. That or we're being stupid. Guessing the latter!
We recently started learning Nero's New Bathroom. I can't wait to show you all on the My KjD thingy. However, apologies now for what Anno might think! |

When everyone knows beauty as beautiful, there is already
ugliness;
When everyone knows good as goodness, there is already evil.
“To be” and “not to be” arise mutually;
Difficult and easy are mutually realized;
Long and short are mutually contrasted;
High and low are mutually posited;...
Before and after are in mutual sequnce.
Lao -tzu
"Yin and yang are thus like the different, but inseparable, sides
of a coin, the poles of a magnet, or pulse and interval in any
vibration. There is never the ultimate possibility that either on
will win over the other, for they are more like lovers wrestling
than enemies fighting."
Alan Watts
Very much like wave-particle duality, though I fall very far into
the uneducated category.
