The man of Tao remains unknown. Perfect virtue produces nothing. "No-Self" is "True-Self." And the greatest man is Nobody - Chuang Tzu (399 - 295 BC)
Who can free himself from achievement, and from fame, descend and be lost, amid the masses of men? He will flow like Tao, unseen, he will go about like Life itself with no name and no home. Simple he is, without distinction. To all appearances he is a fool. His steps leave no trace. He has no power. He achieves nothing, has no reputation. Since he judges no one, no one judges him. Such is the perfect man: His boat is empty - Chuang Tzu
The Pure Men of old acted without calculation, not seeking to secure results. They laid no plans. Therefore, failing, they had no cause for regret; succeeding, no cause for congratulations. And thus they could scale great heights without fear...They did not know what it was to love life and hate death. They did not rejoice in birth, nor strive to put off dissolution. Quickly come, and quickly go - Chuang Tzu
He who rules men lives in confusion: He who is ruled by men lives in sorrow. Tao therefore desired neither to influence others nor to be influenced by them. The way to get clear of confusion and free of sorrow is to live with Tao in the land of the great Void - Chuang Tzu
I am Daath, knowledge, an eternal individual pattern of memory... I am a piece of infinity (Nothing) Itself, held together as long as I (realize to) wish it. I am only ever always either cosnciously *evolving* or consciously *doing*.
When I'm doing I'm unconcsciously evolving.
When I'm evolving I'm automatically doing.
Since I realize that I am the perpetual synthesis of this dual process, so do I always do two things at once, as one thing, a purposive action of evolution!
I also perpetually experience the three-fold flame of the universal heart--love, joy, and compassion. These emotions are always innate, but sometimes I experience them more or less consciously than other times, it's my choice.
