[MD] Tao: The Great Mother

[MarshaV]

Greetings Andre,

I am planting and I am drifting...

Been thinking about the Tao and yin&yang symbol and what its 
relationship might be to the feminine.  It has been suggested that 
there is a relationship between the Tao and the MOQ.  What might that 
be?   I don't remember hearing anything that rings true, at least to 
me, and I'm a woman.

 From the link:

"The Tao is called the Great Mother:
empty yet inexhaustible,
it gives birth to infinite worlds."

And I wonder about naming.  Naming illusions to make them real.  The 
Great Mother has been called the Mother of all Names.  And that 
reminds me of what the Lila character said in Chapter 14.  And Lila 
being the Dance of Life?  Life as a dance not as language and the 
things language represents.  And how all you men were born from a 
Woman.  And I wonder about the experience of pregnancy and giving 
birth.  Interconnectedness and relationship.  And naming, naming, naming...

Lila, her words were correct...

If you have something to add to my wonderings, I would appreciate 
it.  If not, maybe your dreams will help you.

But I'm just drifting...

Marsha
