Nothing Is Where Something Already Is

Send us Fan MailIn Verse 11 from the Tao Te Ching, Dr. Wayne Dyer explores the concept that something is made from nothing. Using the example of a wheel, he explains how the hub and empty spaces between the spokes are essential for the wheel to function. Similarly, a vessel is formed by molding clay around nothing, and a room is defined by the empty spaces within its walls, doors, and windows. Dyer emphasizes that creation begins with nothingness, and that this space is necessary for new things to take form. The chapter invites readers to embrace emptiness as the starting point for all creation.
