It is true that in the history of human thinking the most fruitful developments take place at those points where two different lines of thought meet. These lines may have their roots in different human cultures, different times, different cultural environments, or different religious traditions.

If they meet; if they are at least so much related to each other that a real interaction can take place, then one may hope that new and interesting developments may follow.

TAO 35- Live in Harmony with Gaia

She who follows the way of the Tao
will draw the world to her steps.
She can go without fear of being injured,
because she has found peace and tranquility in her heart.
Where there is music and good food,
people will stop to enjoy it.
But words spoken of the Tao
seem to them boring and stale.
When looked at, there is nothing for them to see.
When listened for, there is nothing for them to hear.
Yet if they put it to use, it would never be exhausted.

When, as individuals or society, we learn to live in harmony with the Law of Thermodynamics and obey-
We will find that our world, Gaia, is everything we expect it to be.
We will be satisfied with participation in this harmony.

We will cease worrying about climate change and the politics.
We will stop exterminating the buffalo.
We will stop to smell the roses.

We can’t legislate bliss.
We can’t force someone to think.
We can only dissipate energy.
