Tao Te Ching Chapter 25-4 Independence

Today's Tao

It's independent. It doesn't change. (Ch.25)


Tao creates your hologram (=the world), which includes your own self.

The explanation is supposed to end here, but you can say that firstly Tao creates your "self" and body, then in your brains you project the holographic images of the rest of the world.

Therefore, your hologram doesn't affect Tao.

It is independent of the world (=your hologram) though it manifests itself through the worldly beings.

Although Tao is called the fundamental energy, it doesn't change its form like other forms of energy.
