He chose #4 The Void and I then went on to look at #22. #4 "The Void" Tao is the void And the void is within everything. As it relates to what is perceptible (cells) Everything is mostly void. As the origin of everything It is hidden within every particular thing. The Master knows it...

Today I was joined by Cecilia for #30 then I welcomed Kathryn again for #8 and i met Mark for the first time for #33 and much more. #8 "Be Like Water" Water is humble, Always traveling to the lowest place, Nourishing, without taxing Everything along the way.

Today I was joined by Ronald for #5 #5 "Impartial" Nature doesn’t care, It knows everything is more than it seems. The Master doesn’t care, She knows that as well. It is good to be empty Thus the Master embraces the void. Like a bellows, she produces from emptiness. Stay centered.

Johnny then joined me for #70. #35 "The Senses Distract" Those who know Tao cannot be harmed. They removed resistance and peace remains, Even amid great pain and danger.

To have a name is to be limited to manif...
