The Tao is completely undefined.
It has no name.
It is the mother of frustration.

Other people are sharp;

Other people have purpose;
I alone don't know.
I drift like a wave on the ocean,

“Nothing under heaven
is as yielding as water.
And yet in attacking the hard,
the unyielding,
nothing can surpass it.

Nothing can take its place.
The weak overcomes the strong,
the soft surpasses the hard.
In all the world, there’s no one
who doesn’t know this,
but no one can master the practice.”

“One who knows does not say it; one who says does not know it. Block the openings, Shut the doors, Soften the glare, Follow along old wheel tracks; Blunt the point, Untangle the knots. This is known as dark identity. Thus you cannot get close to it, nor can you keep it at arms length; you cannot bestow benefit on it, nor can you do it harm; you cannot ennoble it, nor can you debase it. Hence it is the most valued.”

“My teachings are easy to understand
and easy to put into practice.
Yet your intellect will never grasp them,
and if you try to practice them, you'll fail.

My teachings are older than the world.
How can you grasp their meaning?

If you want to know me,
Look inside your heart.”

Never live the lie, for surely you'll induce yourself into being guilty of something.

Never be the victim of the gaslight.

“Can you coax your mind from its wandering
and keep to the original oneness?
Can you let your body become
supple as a newborn child's?
Can you cleanse your inner vision
until you see nothing but the light?
Can you love people and lead them
without imposing your will?
Can you deal with the most vital matters
by letting events take their course?
Can you step back from you own mind
and thus understand all things?

Giving birth and nourishing,
having without possessing,
acting with no expectations,
leading and not trying to control:
this is the supreme virtue.”

“Look for it, and it can’t be seen.
Listen for it, and it can’t be heard.
Grasp for it, and it can’t be caught.
These three cannot be further described,
so we treat them as The One.

It’s highest is not bright.
It’s depths are not dark.
Unending, unnameable, it returns to nothingness.
Formless forms, and image less images,
subtle, beyond all understanding.

Approach it and you will not see a beginning;
follow it and there will be no end.
You can't know it, but you can be it,
at ease in your own life.
Just realize where you come from:
this is the essence of wisdom.”

If Nothingness is the key, then would Somethingness be better?
More of the same couldn't be better.

“Si un hombre quiere darle forma al mundo, modelarlo a su capricho, difícilmente lo conseguirá. El mundo es un jarro sagrado que no se puede manipular ni retocar. Quien trata de hacerlo, lo deforma. Quien lo aferra, lo pierde. Por eso el sabio no intenta modelarlo, luego no lo deforma. No lo aferra, luego no lo pierde. Hay quienes marchan adelante, hay quienes marchan atrás. Hay quienes permanecen callados, hay quienes hablan. Algunos son fuertes, otros débiles. Algunos medran, otros perecen. Luego el sabio rechaza el exceso, la extravagancia y la propia complacencia.”

No entiendo, pasa Lo bueno grande.
If a man who is of the world, encounters a world of which he cannot manipulate.

I give up.

“Know the male, but hold to the female. Imagine a river flowing through a valley, never departing from its original path. Do this and you will return to a state of innocence. Perceive the bright, but hold to the dark. Like a river, let yourself flow with virtue, and set a faultless example for the world. Do this and you will return to a state of perfection. Be aware of honour, but hold to humility. Like a valley, let virtue fill you, sufficient yet everlasting. Do this and you will return to the state of the uncarved block.”

Re: We have 97 days left until the "Event".
when Nobody is left, who would you become?
if nobody asks, then who would?
Who would remember you?
An hour after your death you are forgotten.

But in Reality, nobody is ever forgotten or judged.
No wonder so many rush to death.
God doesn't keep a ledger.
Nothing is ever threatened.

You go into the Etheric, and there is no stoppage.
All rules are stripped.
They don't mean to scare you.
They just want you, because they love you.
