25. Ch. 20: Tao Te Ching with Regina Dawn Akers
Notes for chapter 20 Gemini.google.com's translation of Chapter 20: Discarding learning brings no worry. What is the difference between "yes" and "no"? What is the difference between good and evil? What people fear, one cannot not fear. Vast and endless it seems! The crowd bustles about, as if enjoying a grand sacrifice, as if ascending a spring platform. Alone I drift, not yet formed, chaotic like an infant before it can smile, weary as if having no home. Everyone has more than enough, but I alone seem to have been left out. Am I an idiot? The common people are bright, I alone am dim. The common people are sharp, I alone am dull. Vast as the sea, boundless as if without end. Everyone has something to use, but I alone am clumsy and uncouth. I am different from others, and I cherish the mother principle. This translation is based on the interpretation of the text as a commentary on the nature of reality, the relativity of good and evil, and the importance of non-attachment. The speaker is contrasting their own state of understanding with that of the common people, who are seen as being caught up in the illusion of duality and separation. Here are some additional points to consider: • The phrase "唯之與阿" (wei zhi yu a) is often translated as "yes" and "no." However, it could also be interpreted as "affirmation" and "negation" or "acceptance" and "rejection." • The phrase "善之與惡" (shan zhi yu e) is often translated as "good" and "evil." However, it could also be interpreted as "benefit" and "harm" or "construction" and "destruction." • The phrase "人之所畏" (ren zhi suo wei) is often translated as "what people fear." However, it could also be interpreted as "what humans find threatening" or "what causes human suffering." • The phrase "眾人熙熙" (zhong ren xi xi) is often translated as "the crowd bustles about." However, it could also be interpreted as "the masses are infatuated" or "the people are caught up in the illusion of happiness." • The phrase "我獨泊兮其未兆" (wo du po xi qi wei zhao) is often translated as "Alone I drift, not yet formed." However, it could also be interpreted as "I am alone and detached, unformed and unconditioned" or "I am in a state of pure awareness, free from the constructs of the mind." • The phrase "沌沌兮如嬰兒之未孩" (dun dun xi ru ying er zhi wei hai) is often translated as "chaotic like an infant before it can smile." However, it could also be interpreted as "混沌 as an infant before it knows to discriminate" or "in a state of pure innocence, free from the burdens of knowledge and experience." • The phrase "儽儽兮若無所歸" (liao liao xi ruo wu suo gui) is often translated as "weary as if having no home." However, it could also be interpreted as "lost and wandering, without a sense of purpose" or "disconnected from the world, adrift in the vastness of existence." • The phrase "眾人皆有餘" (zhong ren jie you yu) is often translated as "Everyone has more than enough." However, it could also be interpreted as "the masses are consumed by greed and desire" or "the people are attached to material possessions and worldly pleasures." • The phrase "我獨若遺" (wo du ruo yi) is often translated as "but I alone seem to have been left out." However, it could also be interpreted as "I am beyond the need for worldly possessions and pleasures" or "I am content with my own simplicity and lack of desire." • The phrase "我愚人之心也哉" (wo yu ren zhi xin ye zai) is often translated as "Am I an idiot?" However, it could also be interpreted as "Am I a fool for not conforming to the ways of the world?" or "Have I lost my mind in pursuit of truth?" • The phrase "俗人昭昭" (su ren zhao zhao) is often translated as "The common people are bright." However, it could also be interpreted as "the masses are deluded by their senses" or "the people are trapped in the illusion of separateness." • The phrase "我獨昏昏" (wo du hun hun) is often translated as "I alone am dim." However, it could also be interpreted as "I see through the illusion of separateness" or "I am aware.

4. Ch 2, Pt 2: Tao Te Ching with Regina Dawn Akers
Tao Te Ching Ch 1-2 summary The Tao is everything, but don’t expect to know the Tao in the same way you know other things. The Tao isn’t perceived like other things are perceived. You can’t understand it like you can understand other things. The Tao can also be called the Way. Those are good and useful names, but no name is real. No name is the essence of the thing that is named. The Tao, which can’t be perceived, understood, or named, is the source of the universe, but the universe is not a universe of things. It is one verse, one composition. It is the Tao. Once we start giving names, the one composition begins to look like many different and separate things. What leads us to name, define, and divide the composition of the Tao into many things? It’s the desire to see and know more than the Tao, to fulfill some idea of lack, to have something beyond what is here and now. If we can let go of that desire and be satisfied with what is, with the composition as it is, we will see the Tao. If not, we remain with the vision of many things. In truth, there aren’t many things. There is only the Tao. This truth feels like a mystery. How can many things be only one thing? Yet, if you step into that mystery and go deep into that mystery, you will discover the Tao. The Tao is beauty. When you see only the Tao, you see only beauty. Yet, as soon as we start naming it “beauty”, we somehow create its opposite, ugly. That is the beginning of division. That is the beginning of problems. The Tao is goodness. When you see only the Tao, you see only goodness. Yet, as soon as we start calling it “good”, we create its opposite, bad. That is duality. With duality, one thing needs its opposite, so if good exists, bad must exist too. This is why there is evil in our world. Once we say life is easy, we discover it can be difficult too. That’s duality. And once we step into duality, duality multiplies. Long and short appear. Above and below appear. Etcetera. The tone of duality spreads as its song is sung throughout humankind. By following one another, we become so confused that we think duality is reality. We think duality is the truth of how things are. And then the sage appears to demonstrate that something else is true. The sage demonstrates the truth of the Tao, the truth of one. One way the sage does this is through not controlling things. You see, if there is good and bad, things must be controlled so we can avoid bad and receive only good, but if there is only the Tao, nothing needs to be controlled. The truth of the Tao can’t be learned intellectually, so the sage doesn’t try to teach it to us that way. Instead, the sage teaches through being. For example, as life happens, the sage simply flows with it accepting what comes when it comes and letting it go when it goes. When we see that the sage is genuinely content with whatever arises, we begin to see something that is different from duality. We begin to see that through the sage, and we become curious about what we are beginning to see. In this way, the sage gives birth to our awakening, our awakening to the Tao, but the sage does not try to own that, take control of that, or have power over us in any way. The sage simply continues to be the sage, the one who is in touch with the Tao. The sage does whatever it is that needs to be done but doesn’t expect anything from what’s accomplished. One who loves the mystery of the Tao does not put expectations upon it. Without intention, everything the sage does is a service, because we intuitively sense the Tao through everything the sage does. It’s not actually what the sage does that teaches us, for even the sage knows these accomplishments are meaningless; it is the way the sage is that consistently continues to teach. That way of being is a physical representation of the Tao. Since the sage’s way of being represents what is eternal, the vibration of what the sage does lasts eternally. https://awakening-together.org/category/sidebar/rdataotranslation/
