Tao

I happened on an astronomy show late the other night. and in it they said that space is probably filled with fine matter, like air!This shakes my notion of space as something completely empty and makes me re-examine the idea of nothingness. And supports wave matter theory, that everything is one thing seamlessly connected, even though we can't see some of it. This really connects us to those other galaxies in a physical way.Of course, when Lao Tzu talks about the importance of emptiness, and how most people don't think of it, he is not talking absence of physical matter, but perceivable emptiness. "The Tao is vacuous,and even when in use it still cannot be filled;It's depth is profound, as if it were the first ancestor to the myriad things.One engenders twoTwo engenders threeand three ingenders the myriad thingsAnd it's Te cultivates them.."In all this, LT considers chronological position, the Tao being the invisible cause."Non-being names the beginning...."non-being embodies unlimited but unapparent vitality and furthers being in a law of antithetical rotation, and phenomena are formed in a state of balance of the two..."Hence, being and non-being give birth to each otherDifficult and easy complete each otherLong and short form each otherhigh and low lean on each otherSound and echo are harmonious with each otherand before and after, folow each other."and about emptiness:"If something is hollow, then it can be made full"Of the many things which he stresses, is this curious one, "ataining the highest level of vacuity".... as if we can act like the Taoto assist the growth of things without appropriating them, i.e., the Tao isnon-active and yet, there is nothing which it does not do.this is unlike Nirvana. He then goes on to show how we can obtain predictable results.So, LT makes an important distinction in "being" and "non-being" of which Yen Ling-feng said, "The phrase 'some people constantly dwell in non-being because they seek to perceive its mysteries' means that by always dwelling in this perspective, people hope to see the mysteries of the Tao......The phrase 'while some constantly dwell in being because they seek to perceive its boundaries' means that by always dwelling in the being perspective, people hope to see the boundaries of the Tao."However, if the Tao could be apprehended, it would be at the point at which Being and Non-being are undifferentiated. Figure that one out!I take it to mean, DON'T DWELL TOO MUCH IN THE FUTILE ABSTRACT PERSPECTIVE OF NON-BEING, BUT ALSO, DON'T SEEK THE BOUNDARIES OF EXISTENCE WHICH MEANS, DESIRES.
