Tao Te Ching Chapter 15-12 Restructured World


Today's Tao

Who can move it and gradually have it give birth while it is at rest? (Ch.15)


Tao gives birth to all, and no one can force it to do so.

You cannot touch Tao.

But you can touch things in your hologram projected in the "head".

Our brains need a restructured world (=a hologram) to comprehend what we are seeing and doing.

In other words, you can touch only illusions.


Dogen says:

If it is not a picture of cake, it cannot fill a hungry man's stomach. [it is not a medicine to satisfy hunger.] (Gabyo 画餅, «Shobogenzo»)


Naoto Matsumoto says:

Only holographic cake can fill the holographic stomach of a hungry man.
