• Quote : "I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them? So, now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe." -- Marcus Cole

Something Else

What is the Tao?

Imagine every living creature, ectoplasmic and bioplasmic, every life form, every star, black hole and any other aggregate of matter, gases or energy, as well as every thought, word, action, feeling, event and interaction that has ever occurred, will ever occur and is occurring right now even as we speak, throughout time and space in every possible dimension for ever and ever, is an animated, integrated working part of one huge mother of a universal mind/consciousness that knows everything, sees everything, creates everything, sustains everything, destroys everything, rebuilds it again and doesn't give a fuck. That's not the Tao, the Tao is entirely ineffable, but it's a damn good pop at an explanation.
