Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After 2500 years, this ancient philosophy has finally been restored back to its coherent and consistent form. There were no paradoxes in the Tao Te Ching. The paradoxes were only in our minds. Today's readers now have a chance to understand without confusion, by using a framework that is based on clear and systematic Tao principles. The secrets of the Tao mysteries were told ... by Laotzu himself. Dynamic Tao and its Manifestations decodes Laotzu's theory, bringing to light the relationship to modern physics from Einstein to Hawking, revealing a most accurate, consistent and vivid description of Tao philosophy. The included new translation of the Tao Te Ching restores the original intent and will revolutionize the perception of Tao philosophy forever.

Book excerpt: This translation is based on the core principle of Tao philosophy. In the Introduction, we discuss the core principle based on the Tao Te Ching. In the translation, we show that the words of Lao-tzu are self-consistent and his words follow a definite logic. We can now interpret his words without much need for speculation. Lao-tzu provides a logical way to show the relationship between appearances and reality. We can see how his words point to the true reality of Tao, and eliminate the self-contradiction in the Tao Te Ching. The logic of Tao philosophy is consistently reflected in this translation of the Tao Te Ching. We also show Tao philosophy as a general philosophy, similar to the Western and Buddhist philosophies.

Book excerpt: In summary, we may declare that Lao-tzu is an authentic philosopher and he uses a clear logic to describe his principle in the Tao Te Ching. Tao philosophy deals with the nature of reality. We come to such a conclusion despite the overwhelming belief to the contrary. We no longer need to accept Tao philosophy as a mysterious philosophy. Instead, we have shown that there is a definite principle and a clear logic in the Tao Te Ching. The principle and logic can be shown with a systematic model based on the words of Lao-tzu. The results are well beyond what we could have expected when we started this project more than a decade ago. This work represents a major step in our understanding of Tao philosophy. This book shows the complete logical structure of Tao philosophy, which can serve as the ultimate base for a consistent interpretation of the Tao Te Ching. The logic of Tao philosophy is precise and can be presented analytically.
Download or read book The Tao Te Ching Dao De Jing written by Gordon J. Van De Water and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-12-01 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For twenty years, Gordon J. Van De Water has collected editions of the world classic the Tao Te Ching and pondered this ancient, yet still vibrant Chinese text of wisdom literature. Written in the sixth century before the Common Era and ascribed to Lao Tzu, a venerable sage, it offers a guide to life based on adherence to the Tao or Mother Nature, those forces and powers that govern and shape both the world and human nature. Its eighty-one verses repeatedly emphasize seeking harmony through simplicity, the rejection of the trappings of material wealth and the arrogance of power, and identification with the great underlying forces of the universe. Many of the verses also offer practical wisdom for those in leadership positions. So fascinating has been the compressed wisdom of the Tao Te Ching that it has been translated into many languages more often than any other book except the Bible. Van De Water has sought to strike to the heart of this highly compressed and often enigmatic text by creating a plain English version that highlights the continuing relevance of the Tao Te Ching for our complex and oft troubled times. His interpretation also includes an introduction, selected translations and interpretations in English by pioneering scholars, and an extensive bibliography of translations and interpretations in English.

Download or read book The Tao of Physics written by Fritjof Capra and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2010-09-14 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is the book that brought the mystical implications of subatomic physics to popular consciousness for the very first time—way back in 1975. Many books have been written in the ensuing years about the connections between quantum theory and the ideas of Buddhism, Hinduism, and Taoism, but Fritjof Capra’s Tao of Physics serves as the foundation on which the others have been built, and its wisdom has stood the test of time. Its publication in more than twenty-three languages stands as testimony to its universal applicability, and its astonishing three and a half decades of strong sales to its enduring significance. This special edition celebrates the thirty-fifth anniversary of this early Shambhala best seller that has gone on to become a true classic. It includes a fresh cover design and a new preface by the author reflecting on further discoveries and developments in the years since the book’s original publication. "Physicists do not need mysticism," Dr. Capra says, "and mystics do not need physics, but humanity needs both." It’s a message of timeless importance.
Download or read book A Refreshing and Rethinking Retrieval of Greek Thinking written by Kenneth Maly and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2024-03-01 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Refreshing and Rethinking Retrieval of Greek Thinking presents a rereading and rethinking of Greek philosophy in an attempt to retrieve an essential thread in Greek thinking that has been covered over for many centuries – beginning with the late Greeks, then Christianity, and then rationalism – and misrepresented by mistranslations from the seventeenth century onward . Using Heidegger’s work with Greek thinking as a springboard, the book shows how the covering over of this essential thread happened. Kenneth Maly provides a frame by which those not trained in philosophy and phenomenology of experience can grasp the wider import of this rethinking of Greek philosophy. The book delves deep into key questions, preparing readers for extensive and more technical work with the key Greek words and their meanings, hidden for centuries. It includes a significant investigation of how this task requires a different way of language, how early Western thinking mirrors non-Western Daoism and Buddhism, and how quantum physics gets to the same place in its "philosophy," with an emphasis on the work of David Bohm. In doing so, the book reveals how Daoism, Buddhism, the quantum potential of quantum physics, and Heidegger’s being-beyng are all mirrored in Greek philosophy, above all in early Greek thinking.

Download or read book The Monad Manifesto written by Dennis William Hauck and published by Alchemergy. This book was released on 2022-03-08 with total page 511 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Monad is the indivisible single source of consciousness and information that created our universe. In philosophy, the Monad is the origin of all things—the totality of both our present existence and all possible future incarnations. For theologians, it is the Word of God that created the world. In mathematics, the Monad is the archetypal origin of all the numbers and geometric shapes that describe Nature. Computer scientists view it as the cosmic code embedded in the matrix of reality. In science, the Monad is the Singularity—the Big Bang explosion of light and consciousness from which our universe sprung forth. In The Monad Manifesto, we explore the mysterious monadic origin of the universe and its relationship to the field of conscious awareness that we all share. The book is organized into a central “Manifesto” and ancillary chapters that expand and document the ideas presented. These chapters include “The Monad in Philosophy,” “The Monad in Science,” “The Monad in Mathematics,” and “Monad Cosmology.” We will also explore the ways people experience monadic reality in the chapter “Monadic Experiences.” Then, we will learn methods of meditation developed down through the ages to connect to the Source in “Monad Meditations.”
Download or read book Within the Four Seas written by Ulrich Libbrecht and published by Peeters Publishers. This book was released on 2007 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our world has evolved in such a way that we can no longer reduce it to just a market - it has also become an agora, where philosophers exchange world-views in order to understand one another. Europe has lost its position at the centre of the world and should stop pretending it holds the one true religion, philosophy, economy and science. Instead, we should turn our attention to fulfilling the dream of Erasmus reflected in his statement: "I wish to be a citizen of the world". First and foremost, we should learn to play fair when comparing different cultures and not rely on exlusively western criteria. This book explains how a comparative model, based on the paradigm-free axes of energy and information, accommodates the current world-views of Taoism, Buddhism and Rationalism - representing Chinese, Indian and Western heritages respectively - and shows how science and religion interrelate within such a global framework.
Download or read book The Holy Spirit and Ch i Qi written by Koo Dong Yun and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2012-03-02 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book articulates a contextual pneumatology from a perspective of the Eastern idea of ch'i (ki in Korean). Rather than understanding the Spirit from a Westernized philosophical perspective, this book utilizes East Asian categories rooted in the I Ching and Asian religions in dialogue with such prominent Western theologians as Barth, Pannenberg, Moltmann and Harvey Cox. The result is an exciting interaction between the Bible, traditions of the West, and experiences of the Spirit rooted in East Asia. Yun argues that the formal dimension of the Spirit (sangjeok) is present and active in all cultures and religions while the material dimension of the Spirit (muljeok) is categorically revealed and embodied through the life of Jesus Christ, the event of Pentecost, and Charisms given to the church. In making his case, he mediates a creative balance between countercultural and exclusivist models on the one hand, and pluralistic and anthropocentric models on the other.
Download or read book The Turning Point written by Fritjof Capra and published by Bantam. This book was released on 1984-08-01 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compelling vision of a new reality, a reconciliation of science and the human spirit for a future that will work The dynamics underlying the major problems of our time—cancer, crime, pollution, nuclear power, inflation, the energy shortage—are all the same. We have reached a time of dramatic and potentially dangerous change, a turning point for the planet as a whole. We need a new vision of reality, one that allows the forces transforming our world to flow together as a positive movement for social change. Now distinguished scientist Fritjof Capra gives us that vision, a holistic paradigm of science and spirit. “This splendid and thoughtful book is an essential guide for anyone inquiring about the place of science and metascience in our contemporary culture. Those who enjoyed Fritjof Capra’s Tao of Physics should not expect a sequel; this is a much more ambitious book that attempts and succeeds in presenting a whole worldview from the viewpoint of a committed and experienced physicist who also writes from within the North American culture…. It is unusually detailed and thorough in its inclusion of the conventional and the alternative approaches to topics ranging from ecology through medicine and psychology to economics. It is at once scholarly and easy to read.”—Jim Lovelock, New Scientist

Download or read book The Divine Matrix written by Joseph A. Bracken and published by Motilal Banarsidass Publ.. This book was released on 1997 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Divine Matrix represents a bold scholarly attempt to provide a framework for discussing these--and other--questions that will keep the interreligious dialogue project from grinding to a halt. In this book, philosopher and theologian Joseph Bracken first locates the Infinite as transcendent source and goal of human activity as the notion common to virtually all the major world religions. He suggests that the Infinite is prototypically experienced not as an entity but as an ongoing activity--the principle of activity for all beings. This idea is consistent with the notion of eternal and continuous motion is Aristotle, with the act of being (actus essendi) in the theology of Thomas Aquinas and Meister Eckert, and with the ground of being of Shelling and Heidegger, as well as with Whitehead`s definition of creativity. The divine Matrix proposes that the Infinite, thus identified, be understood as a nondual reality: an activity that does not exist in itself but only in the entities which it thereby empowers to exist. This, Bracken argues, becomes the key to understanding ultimate reality within the different world religions.
