Initial reading & discussion of Chapter 2
("Discussion On Making All Things Equal," B.Watson), with commentary
on core Taoist views, principles and personal guidance.
Main themes include: the nature of existential freedom;
dogmatic opinion & assumptions vs. expanded non-dual view; creativity &
imagination; human desire vs. essential liberating values; conventional
assumptions vs. non-personal/objective reality. The Way (Tao) and virtue (Te).
