Reply #35: About fifteen minutes into his show,

[kentauros]

Dr. Wayne Dyer has addressed this issue, including with a reading from the Dao. I think he read the 31st verse, about weapons. Here's the verse, and his show is on Hay House Radio, if you want to listen to the repeat tomorrow :)

Dao De Jing, Verse 31

Translation by Peter B. Roth

Truly superior weapons are not instruments of fortune.

Beings seem to be loathing of them.

Purpose possessing Dao does not do what is proper.

The superior philosopher dwells on it, accordingly honoring the left side.

Employing weapons accordingly honors the right side.

Weapons are not instruments of fortune.

Not the superior philosopher's instruments.

They do not benefit him alone and are of use.

Peace and quiet make a superior man.

He overcomes but does not enjoy it.

As if the enjoying of it is to enjoy killing people.

If one truly enjoys killing people, then one cannot, thereby, gain resolution in the world!

Lucky dealings honor the left side.

Unlucky dealings honor the right side.

The second in charge approaching the general stays left.

The superior man approaching the soldier stays right.

Words are a cause of funeral rites doing what is proper.

Killing a person's people is a cause of sorrow, grief and crying.

Battle victories are a cause of funeral rites doing what is proper.

Dr. Dyer's reading from his book may be a clearer translation than the above, so if you have it, try that, too.
