“Although the Tao is immaterial, it gives all material things solid reality. Thus, the world we observe is the visible image of the imageless Tao. Similarly, all the things we can touch and hold are the tangible manifestations of the formless Tao.”
― Tao Te Ching: Annotated & Explained
― Tao Te Ching: Annotated & Explained
“To be in Dao is to primarily exist in the fertile expanse where time stands still. Time loses meaning because primary identity shifts into alignment with the timeless principle itself. Distance in space loses felt degrees of separation, because of deep interconnectivity in its undifferentiated formless state. Death loses significance because it is perceived and experienced as another transformation of the Dao. Anxiety from change dissipates, as it is simply seen as part of Dao’s process of equilibrium. The intolerance of uncertainty fades, as it gives way to the adventure of potential and possibility. It is, in essence, alongside chance, the requirement for freedom. The Dao is self-generating, meaning it is root and branch. It is complete fulfillment, so temptations surrender their grasp to Dao’s quiescence. In a sense, to be with Dao is to favor loss over gain.”
