Today I chose #1, it is a powerful start to any text that simply says words cannot express what I am attempting to express with words. If anything it is a warning of taking the text too literally. Penny, Dr. Rao, and Julie all joined me to round out a great discussion about how this is not it.

#1 Expressing Tao
Words are particular,
They cannot express Tao.
To have a name is to be limited to manifestation
That which is nameless is the source of manifestation.

Self-referential, those who name, name themselves.

Want to experience the depth of the mystery? Stop identifying.
Want to experience the shallowness of the manifestation? Differentiate.
Either way no one can tell,
The difference is in your experience.
