Essential Taoism

Besides I do not have much to say because I am not free-thinking. I cannot maintain to have knowledgeable the Tao any more than you have. Also the subject is such that even had I had a spiritual experience I would be even then at a loss for words. When we name a thing we put it in a class or a class. But the Tao – or God – is all there is. It cannot be put in a category or described by divergent it to another object. This should be mentioned in any sketch on necessary Taoism.

This is in dissimilarity with the Christian God who has given us commandments that one can choose to refuse to comply. But according to any outline on indispensable Taoism the very act or choice of disobeying is itself part of the stream of Tao. People try to force issues – like our wanting to be progressive for example – not knowing that we cannot diverge. Thus it is said that, “Your everyday realization is the Tao.”
