because it is an enduring action and not a fixed form that requires contrast so the yin-yang then best represents this idea of rising/falling, black/white, with the potential for contrast within each for the other? the lingam and yoni could also be representative of this idea?No it can't be named because you can only name it wrong.
You are mixing it with the yin and yang. Not even the wuji describes the tao.because it is an enduring action and not a fixed form that requires contrast so the yin-yang then best represents this idea of rising/falling, black/white, with the potential for contrast within each for the other?
That yin-yang symbol was made much later than the Lao-tze book that contains the quote.the lingam and yoni could also be representative of this idea?

No, it's because when we place a name on something we fool ourselves into thinking that we now 'own it' with our minds. We think we have comprehended it, intellectually, when that is not possible.The tao that can be named is not the enduring and becoming because it implies that it is forever transforming? changing? because in being named it becomes conditional, a fixed form, delimited, and it's essence is unconditional?

"Tao" simply means "way". As in the 'way of being'. Or the way that existence exists.so it owns us? invades us?
if friendship is with us, how can anyone be against love? there is no greater love in all the world than that of a friend, selfless who stops and rests from life's journey with another wayfaring stranger.."Tao" simply means "way". As in the 'way of being'. Or the way that existence exists.
So it includes us.
when you establish form as preferred to action it does.Could it also be the problem that when we name something we firmly establish it's "otherness" in relation to our ego-selves, which is counterproductive to Oneness?
