Tao Te Ching Chapter 14-13 The shape without a shape

Today's Tao

This is called the shape without a shape, an image without a thing. (Ch.14)


Tao doesn't have a shape. Anything that has a shape belongs to the sphere of your hologram.

But a thing needs Tao's energy to exist.

So, Tao is the essence of an object with a shape.

Where do we have images?

In our mind, isn't it?

We use time and space to decode our holographic images according to our own social perspective of life.

Well, with or without time and space Tao is the origin of a shape or an image.


Zen Master Dogen might say:

Don't waste your time, and learn "time doesn't exist." as soon as possible.


Naoto Matsumoto says:

I like Master Dogen's practical contradiction.

Why don't we think that the concept of time and space is like grammar to understand a language? We need it in order to interpret the world.
