Nungali Posted January 21 I haven't seen this one before .... and never noticed a discussion here on it .     Eg  Ch 1   If you can talk about it, it ain’t Tao. If it has a name, it’s just another thing. Tao doesn’t have a name. Names are for ordinary things. Stop wanting stuff; it keeps you from seeing what’s real. When you want stuff, all you see are things. Those two sentences mean the same thing. Figure them out, and you’ve got it made. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nungali Posted January 21 The more of it I read, the more I enjoy it  .   Chapter 42 starts out with some cosmic mumbo-jumbo about Tao making one, one making two, two making three, and three making everything else. I don’t know what it means, and, frankly, I wouldn’t worry about it too much. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I shall don my robe and take up my staff and cross the river and wander in the rainforest a bit ... on my return I shall enlighten you all  ( I just gotta finish scrubbing the mold out from between the bathroom tiles first ) .    1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
