Atheism and Taoism

Can anyone tell me what all this means? I've read a lot of this and I can't tell what it means

Do you have a specific question? Not like someone's going to be able to explain the entire thing. It's a long and researched article.

 

Ya. Can you tell me what the point is. And it said "the dark side of the TAO"
Is there a dark side like a force?lol

 

You're thinking too much

Let go!

 

"Can you tell me what the point of this long, involved article is?"

Not really, no. Not without rewriting it, in any event.

There's no dark side to the Dao in the good vs. evil sense you get in the Star Wars narrative, no.

 

I know everyone says I think too much. I think it will lead to enlightenment

 

Pfft

You want to be enlightened?
Just wake up! What's stopping you??

 

I'm trying ill get there!!! Hehe

 

If you try, you'll never get there - you just need to BE!

 

Thank you very much! I will remember that

 

A memory is a snapshot of how things were.

The tao is constantly changing, and we constantly experience it in the moment. 'Remembering' shows that you cling to how things were - you have to BE in each moment.

 

Who says you have to cling to it to remember it?

 

You did - by saying that you will remember it

Don't worry if you wander from the path - everyone does at some point!

 

I will try not to wander from the path

 

To try is not the way of the Tao. To do is

 

By trying, the path has already disappeared from beneath your feet

 

Or maybe trying is the way and the path.

 

trying be definition requires effort and concious action; this is not the Tao

 

So the way of the Tao is being unconcious?
(Btw are you going to the MAP meet?)

 

The way of the tao is simply being - which means waking up to everything..
