SHACK 995 TAO Tao' 道 (or Dao)

 

Taoistic

Again I might trespass into the realms of Tao. I feel Tao is the 'way of things' a sort of substratum intelligence, or will, or plan that is not a fixed plan or creation but an evolving consciousness portrayed from an invisible 'mind' to a humanly perceptible form. 

I feel the way of things when there is a mystery in nature and how it all started other than the usual God or Big Bang it is a feeling that there is and will never be a logical scientific or religious nor philosophical explanation.

 It is a deep intrinsic innate intuitive feeling; It is like Jung said when asked is there a God and can you explain it he simply said 'I know there is' or something like that.  'I don't need to believe, I know'. That is more accurate, I can relate to this, I can only repeat it is an innate and intrinsic deep deepest feeling I have, it is rock solid bottom for me.

I cannot logically explain this feeling only to say that if I were arrogant and egotistical and brash, garish or ostentatious, meretriciousness, tawdry and other adjectives I would shyly and humbly say and run from this next writing, that I felt this was me stripped naked and bare of all programmes and agendas it is fact the primal and potential creative mind of awareness and consciousness.

I feel this is a deep truth, the only truth, the way behind all the phenomena be it Cosmic or mundane, from galaxy to bacteria there is  behind the scenes 'something' going on, not discernible nor perceptible nor detectable and yet it stands alone and its aloneness it is the fount of creation and all I can really know and say 'This is the Way Of Things' the pathless path that the planets and stars follow and probably they do not know why they are born and die and for what reason only to say as well, 'this is the way of things'.  

This then is the Tao' 道 (or Dao) as I feel it and when I go quiet and at awareness of the mind at rest I feel this 'nothingness, this emptiness' full of a feeling that this is me and the all and all,

I simply feel and know.

Walking with the flow, a flow which streams from consciousness, Primal and Primitive yet powerful, full of potential, from simplicity to the intricate wonder of things, the astonishment about the Universe, the astounding beauty of nature, the wonder at the birth of babies, the colossal impact of the immense and yet minute, the contrasts, the yin and yang, Life Itself laid bare and naked and yet clothed in a garb of intensifying glory, the process of walking the path of the Nothingness that becomes somethingness is mind boggling and yet deeply and significantly meaningful without explanation, in fact reasoning and explanation holds back the feeling and yet satisfies the curious scientific brain. The materialistic logic holds back the appreciation and magic of the 'Way appreciating Itself' and as they might say in Zen 'what nonsense are these words, for the Way has no explanation or needs none, it is always Itself whatever one says or feels about it' SHACK
