What is the Tao?

A Native American Pueblo (Tiwa People) located in the Southwest of the United States, more specifically in the north central part of the State of New Mexico. These people speak the ancient Tiwa language. This ancient indigenous settlement has been continuously inhabited by the Taos Pueblo Native Americans long before there was ever such a thing as the United States or even the State of New Mexico. In fact this group of people was in conflict with the Spaniards that came into their region in the 1600’s. In these ancient people’s eyes ‘recent’ people as of the 1800’s and onward are all considered Immigrants to them. Taos is the northernmost of the nineteen New Mexico Pueblos.

For more information on this group of Native American people please perform an internet search on ‘Taos Pueblo’.

So NO this is not ORIGINALLY an old Spanish colonial outpost of indigenous Chicano people (squatters) it’s the home to the Native American group of Taos Pueblo people. These people have lived in their mountain valley hundreds of years before Europe emerged from the Dark Ages. So you people out there, you better RECOGNIZE this fact!!! Oh yeah, do continue to ‘test’ your expensive outdoor gear there “like you’re all that” while you drop some major fundage in these Native American’s valley. It’s ALL GOOOD!!! By bringing your money to them and demo-ing your expensive outdoor gear in front of them you save them the hassle of finding out what works and what doesn’t. It can’t get any better than that for them.

Those Taos Native Americans are HARDCORE! Being settled in that NM mtn. valley of theirs for as long they have.

The Tao - definition

The tao is pronounced dao.

Founded by the philosophers of china. Tao is simply put: The Way. Tao is undefinable, to define it is to define something other then the tao, thus, the tao may not even have a definition at all. Tao is also explained as a religion in China called Taoism. Though taoism was not intended to be a religion but a philosophical concept, Chinese people put people of great figure and prestige like Guan Yu, Lao Zi, to name few of many as gods. To have a greater understanding of the Tao, read Lao Zi's l Ching or the book of birthdays. l Ching is orginally found in China, but nobody knows where it is, so The book of birthdays is an English translation of the l Ching. That's what I know about the Tao.

The tao cannot be explain. To define the tao is to define something else other then the tao. To give an example relating to something that is trying to define the tao is not the tao, because that has nothing to do with the way, and so it is not the definition for the Tao.

e.g. the tao is simply put: The way. What is the way? nobody knows. Some may say it is the path to believe in the Christian God. Some say it is destiny. Some say it is the method to become rich and successful. Some say the way is when we will come to that place after death. All these things have nothing to do with the Tao because it remains a mystery unsolved.

The Tao

The pronunciation is wrong. tao is pronounced dao.

"The way", "The Path", "The Flow" are some ways to describe what tao means. It originates from a religion/philosophy/spirituality called Taoism. The exact meaning of tao is untranslatable. Tao basically means everything. The tao is like a flow that is everywhere. People moving around, nature doing whatever it does, things like that are examples of tao. It's pretty hard to fully describe it.

I tried my best to describe tao, but it's too damn complicated.

The Tao

The flow of life, the order of the universe.

Tao is the concept of living, breathing, existing.

It is not, however, taking advantage of.

Poets gone Wild, Prophets all destroying the Tao.
