[MD] Taoist pure experience & potential

[David M]

This is pretty good too:

Taoism sees occurrences of the phenomenal world as an evolutionary process
initiated by the interaction of opposites. It is only when the apparent and
the potential are comprehended as complementary that the phenomenal world
can be fathomed and the constant changes of this world can be fully
accepted (Ch'en, 1977).
