To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him?How can we describe the essential element of existence? What words or images could do this "it" any justice? Try as we might, whatever we conjure up, it is little more than vain hyperbole.
~ King James version ~
The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao.
The name that can be named is not the eternal name.
~ from Verse 1 of the Tao Te Ching ~
Since there is no way we can know the Grand Mystery on its own terms, we are left with seeing its manifestations and drawing our conclusions from these.
