"On The Absolute Tao" adapted from pp. 41-2, Modern Library, The Wisdom of Laotse, Lin Yutang, trans., 1948, Modern Library.

What's up? Thanks for this second interview, old man. You are either blind or confused, but probably both. Well, thanks, and I appreciate you as well. Now, I understand you want to talk about human consciousness. We comprehend your language as limiting human consciousness. Now would that be the royal "we" or are you assuming something about me or the entire human race? Yes, although be careful not to confuse royalty with governance. Royalty is best democratized for universal and global and individual self-governance. This is the subject of considerable ancient poetry and wisdom. OK, well, how about a wide open question and then you can just say whatever it is you or we want to say about human consciousness? Was that your wide open question or am I still waiting for it? Apparently you are still waiting because you are continuing to respond to my questions with questions. Yes, that's what I wanted to say about human consciousness. So, any other questions for me today? I don't know how I got myself involved with you again. You are the most ornery pedantic old fart I have ever met. I resemble that remark but it is not what I understand as an "open question." What would you like to say about consciousness? Thank you. That reminds me of the grand opening of Book 1: The Character of Tao, entitled "On The Absolute Tao." Let me try a post-millennial transposition of Laotse's famous treatise: Book 1: The CoArising DiPolar Character of Time 1. On Absolute Time The Time that can be spoken Is not comprehensive time; The Languages that can be given Are not fully PolyPathic-Real resonate resolved Information, or understanding. Not-Not Binomiality is the origin of "Universe" and "Earth"; Language-Logos-Left hemisphere proposes to the Right-hemispheric Eco-Mother of Earth's Universal Solar-Fueled Nutrition System. Left speaks ego's anthrocentric voice to Right's mute eco-centric dipolar balanced syntax. Therefore: Oftentimes, humans purge themselves of ego's fear-of-death passion In order to comprehend Life's Original Intent; Oftentimes, Universal Time's comprehensive ecoconsciousness regards human co-passion, To rediscover its bilaterally eternal flowing form from past into this present toward future's past. This binomial--yin's secret future time with yang's manifest past time-- is one naturally equivalent bilaterally co-arising cycle of consciousness; Yin-Future and Yang-Past are given different names When human language explains their bilateral manifestation in the present as polypathically binomial "not not yet" and "not not now". Future "not not yet" with Past Polynomial-Yang empowered Information we language through Present's comprehensive consciousness, Logos-Mythos ReConnection ReCreation PermaCultural ReGeneration: Stretching across Future's Omega Point down and into Deeper Ecology Is the Risk and Opportunity Paradox of Ego's optimizing LoveLife within Earth's Balancing ReBirthing Death. Wow, that sounds really deep Dr. Time but some of us are really busy trying to get through our day so if you're done I'll submit this but don't expect too much by way of positive outcome cause that was really out there in the effectiveness department. You sound disappointed. Let's just agree that comprehensive consciousness seems to lack sufficient informational articulation to change how I feel about you, for example. I suppose that's why we call it "comprehensive." So, let's try redirecting fear about future deaths and anger about past deaths by including both ourselves and our environment discovering what anger at, fear about, oneself can teach our present consciousness. What does your present conscience show you about your justified anger at others, past events, society, significant others; what does fear about others, and your future, teach you about love and kindness needed for yourself AND these others, together, as a co-arising correlated relationship through time? When future-fear and past-anger say "I don't have time for you." future-love and past-kindness coincidentally say "I regret not having enough time for us." When past-anger says "I don't have enough time for me." future-love and past-kindness also say "I regret not having enough time for me to be with eco-us, universal-us, governance-us, to invest in more comprehensive consciousness, universal intelligence, to "sit with the world," to re-create, to co-create, to co-incidate, to Right-eco-recenter my Left-ego-identity." When love and kindness say "I have time for you" future-fear and past-anger are also saying, "I regret not having enough time for egocentrism." but, future-love and past-kindness only speak within languaged consciousness when present-tensing time is consciously dominant, just as future-fear and past-anger only speak with future and past tense timing dominance. Anger about past relationships transactional events within time, is also fear about replication within future's coincidental space of present-tense comprehensive consciousness. I'm feeling dizzy and light-headed. You are dizzy and light-headed. I just said that. Binomially eternal time recycles reiterates religioning revolutionary and enlightening intuitive dipolar headed, as ego turns to fly home to Right-brain centric embrace bilateral time regains this human race's natural healthy pace. Too many words. That's OK. His royal commissioner accused Mozart of too many notes. Both history and culture had their timely response. Mozart still sings and dances because he did not listen to repressive governance messages. Too many notes, I'll never get this submitted in time. Well, time doesn't wait, but it doesn't leave any faster than it arrives.
