LAOLONG

In daoism there is the one (when it is motionless) that become 2 in motion ,yin and yang.

The idea that the dao can be at the same time a and not a, is from a miss understanding of the taiji symbol,it is not a static symbol of yin and yang in the same time,but a symbol of motion from yin to yang,and from yang to yin. From a logical point of view the quantum theory in physics is wrong,it cannot be at the same time a particle and a wave,but when a particle is in the speed of light it change rapid between particle to wave to particle to wave,like the taiji symbol of motion .

If you define dao=a+ not a ,the outcome is dao=not(a+not a) so dao is not ,scared and not sacred in the same time

According to the dao de ching , the dao that can be defined,or named is not the dao. So how can it be defined or named as sacred.

The dao that dao,not dao.
