Collection of Sayings: Anything Goes
- This book is a compilation of sayings useful in understanding Eastern thought and General Semantics.
- The agreement between General Semantics and Eastern philosophy is profound, illuminating, and deepening the understanding of both.
- For instance, the expressions “The description is not the described” and “The thought is not the thing” are found in Eastern philosophy and General Semantics.
- Both systems perceive reality as nonverbal, silent, and beyond comprehension with thought.
- This is even though one is spiritual and one is atheistic.
- Two entirely different approaches to reaching the same ultimate conclusions are exciting and enlightening.
Zen Koans & Aphorisms: Read Anything Goes
- You will find the sayings herein amusing, engaging, exciting, helpful, and thought-provoking.
- Many sayings are like Zen koans; if you sit with them, they reveal the other side without words.
- Many of the sayings are open to multiple interpretations and meanings.
- New meanings will arrive on different journeys through the book.
- The same insight shared in different ways helps you not to miss deeper felt experiences for simple surface meanings.
- A slight change in wording often allows someone to drop their mind long enough to hear something fresh.
- One person’s “that’s obvious” is another person’s “ah-ha” moment.
Eastern Thought: Read Anything Goes

- Let sayings percolate and seep until you are ready for them.
- Focus on the sayings that bring stillness.
- Listen beyond the words.
- Feel, rather than think, the sayings through.
- Sense, rather than think, the music behind the words.
The word “Nothing” Meaning: Anything Goes
- If you are unfamiliar with Eastern thought, “nothing” can have a profoundly positive meaning.
- For instance, “nothing” can mean the unknowable creative source of everything.
- Eastern philosophy has two major divisions; one with gods and one with a void instead of gods.
- The word “nothing” in this book often refers to this invisible, unfathomable, and all-powerful Eastern void.
- The word “void” is also considered positive in Eastern philosophy.
- Perhaps, because of the negative connotations of the words “void” or “nothing,” the Western mind would do better to think of “positive pure energy” in place of void and nothing.
- The word “nothing” in this book can have many meanings other than zero: emptiness, empty space, formless energy, God, invisible power, no thing, no things as referents, no thoughts, no thoughts as referents, no thoughts being what they only represent, not thinging, self as space, the creative source, the ineffable, the life force, the nature of being, the positive Eastern void, the way of life.
- Try considering “nothing” as a shortened form of the two words “not thinging!”
Words Anything & Everything: Anything Goes
- The words “everything” and “anything” in this book mainly refer to conceptualizing, concretizing, ideas, images, labels, making thoughts into reality, names, objectifying, reification, some thought, some thought-thing, terms, thingifying, thought as delusion, thought as an illusion, thought pretending to be the real, thoughts as what they represent, thought-things, treating thoughts as things.
- Try considering “everything” as a shortened form of the two words “every thought-thing!”
- Try considering “anything” as a shortened form of the two words “any thought-thing!”
2 Reading Suggestions: Anything Goes
