Glory to "Tao te Ching". Solves why we better not proselytize
The Tao Te Ching says "He who knows, does not speak. He who speaks, does not know."
Here is given the key to know God. That is all we need.
So this puts evangelizing in a complete different daylight. All the people who speak don't know. I already have this feeling for a long time. So very understandable that proselytizing is prohibited in China, from where the "Tao te Ching" originated. You don't want your people brainwashed by people "who don't know".
Today there was a post on Russia stopping proselytizing. Also understanding now. Next to China, so they believe that people who evangelize = speak, that they don't know. Yes, then better not have them speak, that makes sense to me . When I was 10 years old I was intrigued with China. Even insisted to my parents that they let me eat with chop sticks. The "Tao" feels also good to me.
And last few days I mentioned quite a few times "I don't know about God, whether or not God exists", and "I don't believe science can ever prove it", because it is below the mind. Now leading to "The Tao te Ching" confirming this. Not speaking, means silence, means meditative state. In Silence the voice of God can be heard. And obviously "Voice of God = Truth".
So circle is round again. And it solves also the issue of atheists "you can't prove this". Exactly, you need to meditate to know, and then you can't blab about it. Great. All problems solved. Peace on earth. End of chatter.
