Tao Te Ching Chapter 11-1 30 spokes
Today's Tao
Thirty spokes share one hub. (Ch.11)
Again, this is a metaphor of holography.
Imagine a movie theatre where they project images 360 degrees around you.
You are at its centre like the hub.
The spokes are a beautiful metaphor for the beams of light projected by the projector.
Please compare this to Chuang Tzu's metaphor of the frog in the well. (☞See Tao by Matsumoto Chapter 5b What's a hologram)
It is nice, too.
