Today's Tao
After that, you will reach Tao's perfect integration. (Ch.65)
Let's review Tao's perfect integration, or Big Natural Flow 大順 [tai jun], step by step.
1. You abandon analysis and intelligence.
2. You accept all, that is, all of your hologram while emitting the fundamental energy Tao (=Love).
3. The hologram finishes its role as a catalyst.
4. The hologram, including your own self and other beings, "return" to Tao and gets "re-integrated".
5. Your own self doesn't exist any more. (You remember that your own self does not exist as an independent entity from the beginning.)
This is "your" perfect integration with Tao.
In other words, you have attained Dark Depth.
It is Dark Depth Attainment 玄徳 [gen toku].
Attention!
The moment a phase finishes, another one begins.
There is no end.
Besides, time doesn't exist in Tao.
The multiple phases take place simultaneously.
Then, what can you do really?
Don't worry.
That's why they say: "Do nothing".
Just remember that you are totally integrated with Tao all the time.

". A few decades ago, it seemed that Japan had abandoned being "Japan" and was transforming all its territory into "Tokyo". All the provincial areas wanted to be as sophisticated as Tokyo, and the country was on the verge of a successful transition from "lost Japan" to "Greater Tokyo". Old soldiers did not disappear easily, and now it seems that the pendulum has changed its direction completely. The fastest aging industrialized nation is creating a bigger and bigger mass of post-comsumers. The younger Japanese haven't got cash to spend for sure, but they are still happy because spending money is no longer "sexy" there.

The buildings and fashions in Tokyo are no longer the same. The mentality of the people there changed, well, once. Once Tokyo was a symbol of the consumer society. After the two decades of sluggish economy, a new type of consumers is emerging. They are consumers who do not consume a lot. They are post-consumers. They appreciate non-material things more than material ones. They are ready to adore the friendship for survival in «The Scarlet Gang's of Asakusa» and the sensitivity towards person-to-person contacts in «Tokyo Story».
