Chapter 1 Only 

The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao

The name that can be named is not the eternal name

The nameless is the origin of Heaven and Earth

The named is the mother of myriad things

Thus, constantly with out desire, one observes its essence

Constantly with desire, one observes its manifestations

These two emerge together but differ in name

The unity is said to be the mystery

Mystery of mysteries, the door to all wonders.

Notes: Don't get stuck on the name, focus on the essence/meaning (it's Universal) and how to apply it in daily life.

How? Observe your reactions to the world. (Breathing & self reflect on recent interactions).

The problem is not the problem, it's our reaction to it that makes it good or bad!

Become a role model. How? Take every opportunity to be selflessly kind, honest and positive. Talking smack about people deletes your blessings...

Chapter 25

There is something formlessly created
Born before Heaven and Earth
So silent! So ethereal!
Independent and changeless
Circulating and ceaseless
It can be regarded as the mother of the world
I do not know its name
To identify it, I call it "Tao"
Forced to describe it, I call it great
Great means passing
Passing means receding
Receding means returning
Therefore the Tao is great
Heaven is great
Earth is great
The sovereign is also great
There are four greats in the universe
And the sovereign occupies one of them
Humans follow the laws of Earth
Earth follows the laws of Heaven
Heaven follows the laws of Tao
Tao follows the laws of nature
