Today's Tao
He puts himself before people, but they find him harmless. (Ch.66)
Even though true You are the creator of the world, which is your hologram, people inside it don't know it.
Even your own self doesn't know it.
This is the origin of suffering.
Zen Master Dogen says:
身先の心あり、身後の心あり。
[shinsen no shin ari, shingo no shin ari]
"There is a mechanism before the body. There is a mechanism after the body."
(Sangaiyuishin 三界唯心, «Shobogenzo»)
In the mechanism, you receive Love (=Tao) and emit Love.
The body is your hologram.
So is the world.
You emit Love before creating it.
You receive Love after accepting it.
Love is nothing but harmless.
