We think we think,
but we don’t think. We think we see, but we don’t see. Looking is not seeing.
Mirages are aplenty in this world of deserts, real vision is rare. One who sees
the Dao doesn’t really see the Dao of course, but can see it the same. The
illusions the charlatans of the world try to play are never ceasing. If we are
one with the Dao, we see past the mirages, the charades, and the illusions and
have real vision.
