Today's new installment in the Philosophy in China series: Non-Action in the Laozi (Daodejing)
The concept of wuwei or “non-action”: does it mean that the perfect sage or political ruler simply never does anything?

In the same vain as non-duality means duality as the only thing occurring, without some other “independent, untouched sort of thing” causing it to happen.

It’s clear this seems counterintuitive to idealized experience, but there isn’t a cosmos out there or ID in here. No independent view from no where to confirm an expanding universe out there. It’s definitely ok/normal to make such assumptions. Yet reality is the normal, consistent, mundane. #philsky

There is ‘likely’ no independent anything to create ‘other’ stuff and be called god, even in the most traditional sense. Proof of existence isn’t proof, especially if personal awareness is not required. i.e. “I” personhood, is not some separate requirement for existence as proof. #philsci

This essay presents and explains what’s called Avicenna’s ‘proof’ for the existence of God. It is likely the most influential argument in the history of philosophy in the Islamic world.

Unfortunately it’s not “just biology”. Conflict and distinction is the very fiber of being, of perception, of reality. I will say, the sooner we stop trying to make it something else, the sooner we can be more collaborative.

In a typical retort to a _true origin of_ the answer is duality, a practiced mediation (or just "feeling in the zone") makes this clear. The examiner falls to the examined, the doer falls to the doing. It's not a moment of synchronization, it's an eternity of being, without breaks.

This page would make a good jumping in point to dualism, as non-dual. However, in as far as examination goes, the first bit describes that there are “independent” bits that comprise reality. Yet, there is likely only non-dual being (of two) ever occurring. #philsci plato.stanford.edu/entries/dual...

There is likely no better reference to examining reality (philosophically) than the mind’s eye. It’s likely impossible to completely remove “human experience” from the equation, which includes instruments that seem to be independent from human influence. When examined this way, the inquiry is absurd

This is largely an inaccurate assumption about dualism from the onset. It’s fair to dismiss or dislike the implication, but more likely so when the premise is as obtuse as presented. We can infer duality in the same vain as a fundamental physical reality and still end up in the same space.
