Background
A description of the experience
TAO
There is no "thing."
In this void
You speak of "cause"
Or of "chance"?
You speak of "things"
Where there is "no-things."
To name a name
Is to delimit a "thing."
When I look beyond the beginning
I find no measure.
When I look beyond the end
I find also no measure.
Where there is no measure
There is no beginning of any "thing."
You speak of "cause" or "chance"?
You speak of the beginning of some "thing."
Does Tao exist?
Is it then a "thing that exists."
Can it "non-exist"?
Is there then "thing that exists"
That "cannot not exist"?
