Tao Te Ching Chapter 4-3 Filled emptiness



Today's Tao

Filled, it looks as if it existed. (Ch.4)


Today, we have the famous, and sometimes notorious oriental maxim, "Everything is nothing, and nothing is everything".

Although things fill some space, they do not really exist.

In other words, although things seem to exist and occupy their space, they are empty.

One can understand this according to quantum physics, but I prefer a theory of neurosurgeon Karl Pribram.

He believes that we reconstruct the world in our brains as a holographic image.

This is one step closer to Taoism.

-In Chapter 4 / Tao's function, between "Profound, it looks like the origin of everything." (Origin 4-2) and "Filled, it looks as if it existed." (Filled emptiness 4-3), you can find "Dull the sharpness. Untangle the entanglements. Soften the light. Be like dust". The sentences seem to have been inserted by accident, so they are discussed in Chapter 56 / How to be one with Tao, which is more appropriate.

Thank you for your comment.

I like Bali very much. The surf is wonderful there.

And it is quite cheap to travel around.

It is truly a paradise.
