Anyone attempted reading this?

http://www.chinapage.com/gnl.html <-- is that what you're talking about ?

That's my favorite version if it is ... it's kinda funny looking back and seeing how my perspective's changed somewhat - i read this (with care) over a year ago, i thought it was kind of crazy - it was kind of like an inspirational piece for me, although i did find it hard to interpret and understand in some places ... i guess it's probably lost some of its clarity - having been translated so many times over by different people, not to mention that the original script in which it was written in doesn't even exist anymore, but has changed...

so after reading and reading and reading stuff like this - i see that for me - some forms of so called knowledge don't necessarily have much relevance in my day to day life, and how i actually live, from moment tomoment. i do feel that i have gained some good insight from books that have helped me - but in the end the action - my life - all depends on me and what i do with what i know or think i know - and it's this whole action through thought which is killing me - i realized i need to just stop and be. easier said than done. (i actually know very little - i know this very clearly now - the only thing i feel i can be absolutely sure of is myself - not any books i've read - if i'm clear then life is clear.

and for myself i feel that the universe in all its grandness responds to me in an appropriate manner. things happen when i'm ready for them to happen.

but of all the stuff i've read - i have to say that i find Krishnamurti's words to 'resonate' with me the most - i feel his message is so universal - so ever-relevant to everyone - but i think it might be hard to see that - and it's harder still if you can see that and still not act appropriately - i guess that means you don't really understand <- i'm talking about myself right now - kind of in a slump and got here in a bad way ...

feels good let it go though.

happy Wednesday !

Its nice to have a place to release without critical thoughts.
Relatable... I think its frustrating to everyone when you know you understand more than you act on. Being caught in slumps and knowing there is more to what your letting yourself see and think upon... but you just can't seem motivated enough to act upon it. Its frustrating...
But I think its something that one can actually recognize that.
I was actually in a 2nd hand bookstore and the book entitled "I Ching" was in the front window, front cover boosted that it was the first true book on philosiphy, and for 3$ i bit.
i've only glanced through it, and from the intro, it appears to be an... I dunno, forecast of some sorts... it was describing how you toss coins between sticks or something.
Was a little differant then that link Oceanchild gave...
And yeah, the verse on nature... #5... psssh.
We are nature. Nature is untouchable and beautfiul...
Krishnamurti's words are very relatable... its beyond latching on to values, its about understanding self. Something we could all grasp if we tried hard enough. Would make a better world.
Enough for now... I'm spewing silly rhetotic.

My favourite piece of philosophy is the Tao Te Ching. I've read it about 20 times and every time I read it I'm both perplexed and mesmerised by its wisdom. The concept os The Tao just makes a lot of sense to me.

Dunno about The I Ching I tried readin it once and it was tooo metaphorical for my ass! The tao te ching on the other hand is a book I find very simple and amazing....there are tons of metaphors in it as well but I tend to be able to just flow with it when I read it.

somedays when i go through an experience that makes me think I randomly open the book and read whatever page i land on...its funny cause usually i can find a relation to the both. Great read! everyone should try this book sometime!
