Only from the formless, can come all form.
Only from the selfless, can all selves dwell within it.
Only from the unmanifest, can come the manifest.
Only from...?

Feel free to match sources as this sounds similar to chapter 21 of the Tao Te Ching; yet would like to expound on these concepts, to include any other thought provoking contrasts that we can think of...

Please don't post stupid debate type issues, looking for enlightened replies only.

In my opinion. :innocent:
