The Way is so vast that when you use it, something is always left.

How deep it is!

It seems to be the ancestor of the myriad things.

It blunts sharpness

Untangles knots

Softens the glare

Unifies with the mundane.

It is so full!

It seems to have remainder.
It is the child of I-don't-know-who.

And prior to the primeval Lord-on-high.

It's very hard for me to distinguish if it's philosophy or poetry.
Because I suck at both.

It's both.

Don't you have to have sticks and coins to read that?

Is the Way just the Eastern conception of the Logos?

>> No.10489482

>>10489449
It's not like:
The Way: Eastern
The Logos: Western
Both each have dozens of similar concepts, from different times and cultures. Such a dichotomy is pathetic.

I believe you’re thinking of the I Ching but I may be mistaken

I don't know if you think you're helping or some shit but don't call that anon pathetic when you can't even give a good answer. Your reply might sound smart to you but it has little to no information/nuance/any sign that you know what you're talking about.

The way = RTA(peace with)

Logos = Trivium of being

That's the I Ching. Tao Te Ching is a book of philosophical poetry.
