Rapid Decoded
Picture Big's (=Tao's) image although it is unimaginable. It is easier
to accept your hologram (="the world under the sky") if you understand
how it functions as a catalyst.
What is the difference between good and harm? In fact, none. There is
only your judgement. If you don't judge, they are the same. Regardless
of your judgement, Tao keeps on functioning. It goes around.
Essentially, Tao is "peaceful, calm", and omnipresent. Its objective is
the creation and recreation of itself. The rest has no value.
The world (=your hologram), like "music and food", affects "the passing
traveller" (=you) because it is a catalyst. It exists in order to
stimulate you to emit more of the fundamental energy Tao. You are here
in this world as a traveller. Your destination is not the end of your
life. It is each act of accepting something and loving someone.
No matter how well you explain Tao, the expression is words, not Tao
itself. Probably Tao and its function are too simple for some people to
accept. They may find the expression tasteless. But it has the taste
called "no taste". No taste is not exactly the same as "tasteless".
Tao is not visible. It is useless to comprehend its function in the 3-dimensional world.
Tao is not audible. It is not a field of waves.
Tao is the unlimited source of energy.
