On 20/4/12 I started the Mandtao blog. Below you can read the first post “This is Mandtao” to see why I started it. However it has not worked out so I am transferring all Mandtao blogs to this Zandtao blog – (I have just started to look at the task I have set myself – aaaggh!!):- Notes about Mandtao blogs:- All the books I have used in the Mandtao blog are in one zip-file, 4-shared zapped the old links. The list of posts page has been updated but the old Mandtao blog (links below) will remain available until wordpress elbows it!! This is Mandtao What is life? What is man? What is knowledge? What is science? ONE planet for sure. But how does ONE planet connect with science? Such questions are discussed esoterically in religion but are marginalised in science. Is the spectre of 1% here? Or it it just ignorance? Or is it even ignorance? As part of my ongoing journey I came across Bruce Lipton – as discussed in Zandtao here. Following an insight, throughout his life Bruce has been exposing the invalidity of the central dogma of biology, that genes control man. My mind spun on this, and I started to delve more into his work. Then my net spread to old favourites, Fritjov Capra’s “Tao of Physics” and Gary Zukav’s “Dancing Wu Li Masters”. I soon realised this was not about coming to terms with Bruce and his work, but coming to terms with my understanding of knowledge and religion as integrated through man. That is Mandtao. Zandtao is a blog concerning the treatise, and the treatise is concerned with what to do both in terms of your own actions and how to relate to society. It is about compassion, insight and the 1%. The treatise is almost complete but it needs work. It started from the personal, moved to the political – and that meant political freedom coming back then to what is personal freedom. So ultimately the treatise is about how to be free. Zandtao is a methodology of freedom. And that freedom comes from awareness, and awareness will continue to be the essence of that blog. Yet whilst methodology – what to do – is fundamental, it is not asking the fundamental questions about knowledge. Mandtao is, Mandtao is asking “what is” – I hope I can find some answers. |

Comment | This is just about bottled water. Starting with the damage that collecting the water does to the local environment and the local residents, it moves across into the plastic bottles. The manufacture of these bottles creates environmental health problems near the production factories. Then business complains that someone else does not collect the bottles, and finally we see where the plastics end up. Profits that make me sick, deeply sick. |
