Tao Te Ching Chapter 78-3 No change

Today's Tao

It is because nothing can change it. (Ch.78)


We have to make one thing quite clear.

There is no such thing as "change in a hologram".

"But wait a minute! Water isn't a symbol of constant change?", some might ask.

Let's make it clear.

One hologram does not change as a frame in a film does not.

"Change" is a word given to our interpretation of the sequence of holograms.

All the holograms are created simultaneously.

Time is a parameter to interpret them.

Lao Tzu says that nothing can change the water.

Nothing can change a hologram.

Nothing can change you.
