First off, ouch! Cut a back on the Condesention a bit! :P
: Whether or not you think that chaos, order and balance
: are three fundamentally different things is between
: you and your New Age guru of choice, my friend. :-)
The day I become so called "New Age" (or affiliated with any religion BTW) is the day I decide to destroy myself. I am not and never have been in any way remotely associated with _any_ religion (no Judeo/Christianity BS, nothing). Just because I know about the belief systems of some does not mean I am involed/have a guru, etc.... Knowledge is different from adherance, my friend :-)
: Regardless of what assorted Eastern cultures believe, I
: think that *in the Mythworld* the fundamental
: ideological polarity is that of order and chaos, while
: the primary political blocs are balance (Light) and
: extremism (Dark). Too much order leads to
: totalitarianism and stasis; too much chaos leads to
: meaninglessness and--well, chaos. You need a mix of
: both for life and mind and civilization.
While it is true that some things are restricted to only the Mythworld, it does draw from outside forces. Creating parallels is not out of the question.
The rest of this I could probably counter with my original argument, which you would conter with yours and we would never get anywhere. Hence I end my participation in this thread. This doesn't stop anyone else from taking up either side, but I'm tired of fighting....
