#Philosophy #gnostr From Perennial Philosophy : image Since Zhuangzi was the directly previous book I read, I can add context. Huizi (also Yan Hui) was asking Confucius for his thoughts on a trip he was planning, to go see a barbaric evil prince and civilize him. This is warring states period China. Confucius advised not going - the evil Prince would kill him. Iirc he said something like "this is the road to a short life." The story is allegory - the evil prince is equivalent to the Beast in the always misunderstood Christian texts. Its your ego, or the part of ego that possesses and prioritizes and assigns value. The windows are your senses - Zhuangzi talked about the senses in an adjacent passage. Huxley, author of Perennial Philosophy, points this biblical verse out : image I would point out "let those who have eyes to see, see, and ears to hear, hear."
