Zohar answers, “Star Seeds must understand the Tao, a
God-like concept that requires you to move out of your head, your intellect,
and into your heart to comprehend. First, you must approach the Tao as an
infant approaches life. It has no language skills and cannot create a narrative
in their head. They have no words for things which prevents them from putting labels
on things. They know mother, father, hunger, discomfort, and a few other things
and yet it has no words to think “I am hunger” or “I like snuggling with Mommy.”
It is this wordless approach to reality that one must assume to approach the
Tao.
To mention the Tao, to even give it a name, is to
misconstrue it. It is that which cannot be spoken of and yet, without the Tao
there would be no Reality. All that is, requires the Tao. It is not unity, it
is not multiplicity or duality, it is neither form nor substance, it is not
even an “it” since an “it” is an object by definition the Tao is not an object.
An object is defined as that which has persistence over time and exists in some
form of space, if only mental space. The Tao does neither. It neither consumes
space nor does it persist over time. To speak of the Tao is not the Tao. The
Tao is ineffable. It cannot be communicated from one human being to another.
Instead, it must be experienced firsthand.
One must experience the Tao in order to have even an inkling
understanding of it. One must awaken to see the Tao. One must be an empty
vessel, a new wine skin open and receptive to experience the Tao as new wine.
The Tao cannot be contemplated, because it is not an object
of contemplation. Instead, one must allow it. One must be in a pure state of
allowing and the Tao will become clear. If you need an object of contemplation
to begin with, then contemplate the uncarved block. The block left uncarved is
potentially anything under the hands of a sculptor. It exists as an object of
pure potentiality. That contemplation, from the heartmind, will start you in
the right direction.
