1. The Way
the way that can be experienced is not true;
the world that can be constructed is not true.
the way manifests all that happens and may happen;
the world represents all that exists and may exist. to experience without intention is to sense the world;
to experience with intention is to anticipate the world.
these two experiences are indistinguishable;
their construction differs but their effect is the same. beyond the gate of experience flows the way,
which is ever greater and more subtle than the world.
