Im glad you can read and all that, but honestly what does that have to do with anything? It is a very simple story, with a clear meaning, and it relates perfectly to things we have talked about before. It would be better for you to make an argument against the meaning of the story, that relates to what we are talking about in this thread.
What conclusions am I coming to based on lmited knowledge?
How am I being conditioned by something in which one of the main teachings is to get rid of your conditioned mind and ponder issues with a clear mind?

Ignor the small flaw I pointed out.. I was just making an observation..
And I just told you the point I was making..
This philosophy only works for things contained in this physical plane (the universe we see).. And they come to the conclusion that because we are part of a physical plane we are part of god.
But they dont know if this physical plane is even reletive to what god is, why should he be limited to this reality?
Our connection with god does not nessecarily mean we are part of him.
Whether you replace 'the tao' with god or the universe.....This will never be an ultimate theory because none of us can truely know what is beyond what we see.
And sure they tell you to drop all mental conditioning.. But their folly is in them then in-directly attempting to make you think on the same wavelength as they do.
Which, as I have just demonstrated... Is not nessecarily correct...
