The Tao-te Ching, as we have it, cannot be the work of a single man; some of its sayings may date from the time of Confucius; others are certainly later. The Taoist model referenced in Section XLII of the Tao Te Ching states: “Out of Tao, One is born; out One, Two; out of Two, Three; out of Three, the created universe. The created universe is backed by yin and faced by yang, and harmonized by the immaterial Breath [ch’i].” Like the great logic and reason principles vigorously sought by the Greeks, and those principles for knowledge of innerness devotedly cultivated by the Indians, the successes of the Chinese with twoness principles came about because of the simultaneous convergence of several key elements. Symmetry is twoness, and can be observed manifesting in characteristics ranging from the balance of forces concentrated in an atom to the relationship between gravity and the expansion of the universe. Another type of symmetry permeating the universe is rhythm. In addition to the rhythmic oscillation of atoms and light, in nature the rhythms of celestial cycles, tides, seasons, etc. seem to govern the overall changes of creation, while life processes such as reproduction, waking/sleeping, feeding and so on also yield to rhythm. And interestingly, higher consciousness is very much attuned to rhythm in music, movement, speech and even visual appreciation (as in symmetrical form). We don't have the language to talk about things without time. Actually the sequence of events and the space between events, which with or without time can be different. Without the scales we use based on the physical time of this universe, there is no scale we can rely on to describe change rates, so we just lapse into relying on what everyone is familiar with.

A burglar broke into a small factory and noticed a sign on the safe: "Don't waste dynamite. This safe is open. Just turn the knob."
He did so. At once the place was flooded with light and a bell rang loudly.
As he was taken to the police station he said, "My faith in human nature has been shattered!"

"Why do you look so sad?" Johnny asks his friend.
"Well," his friend replies, "my wife drove herself over a cliff!" "That's horrible!" exclaims Johnny.
"But that's not the worst of it," continues the friend. "It was a brand new Mercedes!"

He was despondent. "The woman I love has just turned me down," he told his friend. "She won't marry me."
"Don't be so disheartened," said his friend, trying to ease his misery. "Don't you realize a woman's no often means yes?"
"But she didn't say no," he answered. "She said phooey!"

Es gibt militärisch relevante Hochtechnologieentwicklungen,deren Verschleppung und sehr wahrscheinliche Perfektionierung durch eine Großmacht der Erde, die dies allerdings niemals, zumindest in vollem Umfang, zugeben würde. Damit verbunden sind u. a. Beobachtungen von seltsamen Fluggeräten in der Atmosphäre unseres Planeten, die schlechthin als „UFOs" definiert werden und deren Zahl mittlerweile Legion ist. Offiziell heißt es, daß dieses Phänomen entweder nicht vorhanden oder aber, aufgrund eines möglichen außerirdischen Ursprungs, nicht erklärbar sei. Augenzeugen werden als „Spinner" abgestempelt, um die Öffentlichkeit nicht unnötig zu beunruhigen oder - was viel gefährlicher wäre - auf die Spur einiger der wahren UFO-Stimuli zu bringen. Es gibt Gerüchte um die Entwicklung deutscher Geheimtechnologien während der Zeit des Zweiten Weltkrieges, die teilweise jenseits von dem lagen, was heute allgemein unter dem Begriff der sogenannten V- oder Wunderwaffen gehandelt wird. Sind die immer wieder in die Diskussion gebrachten Flugscheibenkonstruktionen und Laserstrahlwaffen, um nur einen Teil dieser exotischen Technologieentwicklungen zu nennen, zum Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges doch noch erprobt worden? Kamen sie gar zum Einsatz? Gibt es einen faktenmäßig belegbaren Hintergrund für die Behauptung, daß durch deutsche Militärs und Wissenschaftler exotische Wege beschritten worden seien, um alternative Energien nutzbar zu machen? Offiziell heißt es doch, daß derartige Behauptungen reine Erfindung seien ...

The spiritual part of this one world is simultaneously the starting point for the generation of the physical part of the world, i.e. for our universe. The spirit supplies the ideas and thus the spiritual basis for any physical existence generated later. This is the world of physical information or the world of „informal existence“. It can be best compared to an extremely wide and monstrous internet without hardware. It is practically „God´s Internet“. In contrast to Plato´s theories and those of his many spiritual disciples up to the present day, it does not provide us with anything approaching all the ideas for everything which is already finished in this world. „“God´s Internet“ is more or less empty at the beginning except for some basic and rather simple rules. It represents, therefore, only a potential which must be discovered and differentiated, i.e. it must be filled in. Lao Tzu´s „Tao Te Ching“ talks of a more profound secret than the secret, the „Wu Gi“, in which all differences are still inseparate and indiscriminate and which is usually represented by a simple circle. It is, so to speak, the mere possibility of being, in a way it is the chaos. Our world would have had no chance whatsoever of creatively producing anything new, i.e. of emergence, if there had already been ready-made models for everything. This process of „producing new forms and systems from already existing things“, and of it being the one single motor driving each and every development in the world, is certainly a quite decisive characteristic of our world. However, any emergence must follow certain pre-conditions which it takes by the hand, that sudden accidental appearance of some rather amazing physical laws of nature whereby everything else is left to take care of itself in a purely physical world for ever after is more a evolutionistic dogma than a reality. Rather there is a constant interaction between a spiritual reality and a physical reality which is usually the only one we are able to perceive and accept. Both realities are, however, two sides of the same coin which subtly but constantly influence one another, as do the Chinese Yin and Yang. The spiritual reality is the one which influences the physical par of this world initially with the aid of certain universally valid principles of order. One of these principles is especially important: The principle of simple numbers and geometrical forms.

I was reading the life-story of a Catholic priest. There is an order of Trappist monks. It is perhaps the most difficult order of monks in the world. Once a man enters a Trappist monastery and becomes initiated in its Order, he never goes out again. He goes out only if the abbot throws him out or if he dies. A new monk was initiated into the Trappist Order. The abbot told him, "The outside world is closed to you forever." He was given a cell to stay and taught the rules of the monastery. One of the rules was, that the monk could speak only once in every seven years. After seven years, the monk went to his abbot. He told the abbot, "I have no complaint except that my window-pane is broken. When it rains, the whole cell gets wet. Besides, mosquitoes and insects come through the window? I have not slept even once in peace. As I have to speak only once in seven years, I request you to get the glass fixed." The abbot said, "Alright, it shall be done." The glass was fixed accordingly. After another seven years (that is fourteen years hence) he again stood before the abbot. "Everything is alright. The glass has been replaced but the mat I sleep upon has become hard due to seven years of rain. Kindly have it changed. I haven't slept a wink all these seven years." The abbot said, "Alright, it shall be replaced." After yet another seven years (that is in all twenty one years), the monk came again. "Everything is alright but the men who came to replace the mat, broke the window-pane as they carried the old mat away. I have not slept at all for the last seven years. "Get out of the gate!" the abbot shouted. "In all the twenty-one years you have done nothing but complain. Get out! We do not give initiation to people like you who do nothing else but complain!"
