V really refers to those who wear the vestments and who have acquired some of the organizational power created after the allegedly wise saints passed; or who believe that they are entitled after having received some baton.<br /><br />These deluded people believe they correctly interpret the words and spirit of Krishna, Moses, Buddha, Jesus, Mohammed, etc. But such interpretations service nothing but their power. They speak little of logic and reason much less of self-empowerment.<br /><br />Your image of good and evil being conjoined twins has a certain disquieting appeal. It's another symbolic take of Duality: it's more polar than the infinite swirl of the black and white of the main symbol of Taoism.<br /><br />I prefer another dualistic symbol: the Lotus growing out of the mud reaching for the Sun. It gives me hope. Even if it is temporary.<br /><br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15019699948646507116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904219782540965444.post-73924535897750873772016-05-11T11:58:09.992-04:002016-05-11T11:58:09.992-04:00To evolve from instinctive mammal to reasoning hum...To evolve from instinctive mammal to reasoning human.
