Tao Te Ching Chapter 16-8 Constancy

Today's Tao

Going back to the destiny is called constancy. (Ch.16)


"Destiny" is a misleading word.

Do you agree if I say, "You create your own destiny"?

Then, do you agree if I continue, "but you are not responsible for it"?

"Going back to the destiny" means "accepting your destiny".

If you accept it, you are constantly one with Tao.

-What else can you call it? Destiny, isn't it? Or, is it their fault to be in a wrong place at a wrong time? One Black Rain created an ordeal in a girl's life. Another Black Rain created a group of powerful men without laws. Do we have the courage to say it all took place in our mind?

Tao Te Ching Chapter 1-8 Dark Depth = Tao

Today's Tao

The same thing is called Dark Depth. (Ch.1)


"Dark Depth" is an English translation of the Japanese word "gen (玄)".

Tao = Dark Depth = the world = your hologram = true You.

The name changes, depending on how you look at it.

Don't let names fool you.


Naoto Matsumoto adds:

Generally in "Tao by Matsumoto" videos and sites, they are explained:

Tao = Dark Depth = "gen / xuan (玄)" = true You.

the world = your hologram = a manifestation of Tao

Although Tao and its manifestation are not exactly the same in definition, we cannot receive Tao's energy outside its manifestation (=your hologram, =the world).

Therefore, we respect all as Tao = our hologram.

Tao Te Ching Chapter 1-7 Tao & Hologram

Today's Tao

Both of them are the same thing, coming out with two different names. (Ch.1)


"Both of them", that is to say, Tao and its manifestation are the same thing, Lao Tzu says.

Tao and your hologram are the same thing if you can accept the idea. (This is the goal of your spiritual journey.)

"You are a hologram projecting a hologram", one of our friends commented on Today's Tao Video.

True You are Tao projecting the world, which is your hologram.

Tao Te Ching Chapter 1-6 With mind

Today's Tao

With mind, you can see its manifestation. (Ch.1)


Don't analyse the world because you will be fooled by its appearance.

Our mind is foolish enough to analyse all.

The world is the manifestation of Tao.

It is just a hologram although it doesn't mean it is not important.

Tao Te Ching Chapter 1-5 Without mind

Today's Tao

Therefore, without mind, you can see the surprising Tao. (Ch. 1)


Do you like your mind?

Your mind often runs wild and analyses all.

If you analyse the world, you will be fooled by its appearance.

Accept your mind and love it.

Let it run wild.

Eventually it gets tired of being wild.

Once your mind stops analysing, you will be surprised to find yourself being one with Tao.
