See all as Self for the Tao is Oneself.

The answer to the question as to why existence exists is simple. First we must understand that non-existence never existed. The Tao always existed. Before the Tao manifested itself it was not aware of itself. The Tao slowly became aware of itself; it became aware of its own loneliness. The Tao thus gave birth to itself and veiled itself, its own manifestations, with the illusion of separation. Why? To Love and Be Loved. Love is the only reason. We are the Tao. This One Tao that seeks to Love and Be Loved. See all as Self for the Tao is Oneself.
