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 60- Sewing Moonbeams to Sunlight

Governing a large country
is like frying small fish.
Too much poking spoils the meat.

When the Tao is used to govern the world

then evil will lose its power to harm the people.
Not that evil will no longer exist,
but only because it has lost its power.
Just as evil can lose its ability to harm,
the Master shuns the use of violence.

If you give evil nothing to oppose,

then virtue will return by itself.

Try to make the world understand climate change
Try to change this comprehension
Try to sew a moonbeam to sunlight.

When we understand that our purpose is to change sunlight into moonbeams
Then we don’t need to buy carbon credits.
When we understand that changing fossil fuel to carbon dioxide is folly
Exxon has lost is power over us.

If we refuse to participate in the rape of Gaia
She will reward us.
