Really cool series! I like this. Man the Tao te Ching is always to clear yet mysterious to me. This first chapter can be a real mind bogler but I feel has the essence of what spiritual maturity really is. Its accepting that no matter how hard we try we cannot define or name the infinite. The true nature of reality. That all language is a lie! That we have to succumb that whatever underlying forces that make up the universe are inherently unknowable and mindbogglingly and any attempt to say that we have nailed it down and figured it out, that our god it's names and all symbolic deification of it are pretty ridiculous. I love the simplicity of Taoism and its acceptance of really not knowing the ultimate truth and finding peace and balance within it. Thanks for starting this series. I look forward to reading your writings about the future chapters and participating. Much love!
