Counterforce

[Thomas Vieth]

That one is not so bad, in fact a rather interesting thought, even when 
Daoism is a far cry from Buddhism, but TRP is very syncretistic in his 
approach anyhow. Good thinking. Your improving (re my last comment on 
you). Keep up.

Respectfully,

I was much taken with Jason Tanz's notion that the term 
"counterforce" can be reinterpreted.  Knowing TRP's recent
allusions to Buddhism and other Oriental strategies, can we
retroactively take "counterforce" as synonymous with the concept
of "wu wei", no action?
