Tao Te Ching: 1-12

In the first I noticed a similarity to Judaism. The name that can be said is not the eternal name. Kind of like Yaweh. You aren't supposed to say that name so you say Hashem. I don't know whether any one ever noticed before, but the theory of Relativity came way before Einstein. "All can know good as good only because there is evil." I find it amazing that this comes up. Books 3-5 are extremely confusing. What I can extract, however, is that Tao is greater than the gods. There is some difference between heaven and Earth that I can't really comprehend but is there.
It's cool that they give a lot of importance to a woman spirit. In a lot of religions women seem to be much inferior to men. "No fight. No blame." I like the passage that talks about the Primal Virtue. It basically says that you have to try and not do bad things in good situations. It is a werird explination, but that's my interpretation. Another big quality seems to be instinct. To stop taking percious things and value only what you need.
