Building up yang through 10 lifetimes (was Re: Urth & Earth (was "Travelling North aka miscellaneous thoughts on Wolfe"))

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

It's in the /Journey to the West/.  Whether Chinese Buddhism got it from Taoism I don't know.  I believe it's also in Tantric Buddhism.

I will be very surprised to hear that Judaism has this idea.


Jerry Friedman has been surprised before.
