Text: Tao Te Ching of Lao Tzu the Way of Energy and its Power The tao energy that can be perceived is not the eternal Tao. Perceived energy that can be named is not the eternal Name. The eternal cannot be known-named, yet there is nothing more real. Naming is the origin-cause of all separated things. Free from listening to attain, you realize the mystery. Caught in listening-naming, you see only the manifestations. Yet mystery and manifestations arise from the same source. The Substance is Energy, the source - Silence. Silence within Silence - the Listening Itself, The gateway to Know Thyself - Knowing Itself. (James Traverse translation)
