Now, 2,000 years ago, the Tao Te Ching became the foundation of Taoism. It was written by Lao Tzu and he was in a sense a philosopher who was writing down these ideas which really came before him in oral histories. But talking about the history of Taoism or the rules of Taoism is just kind of nonsensical because it is up to each person to find the Tao, the way. Tao literally means the way, the energy of the universe, the path of the universe. And the big idea before we get into some of their basic, basic beliefs is that if life is a river, if the universe is a river, that you are no different than the river. You're not swimming in the river. You are the river.
