TAO: A New Interpretation

by J Joseph Kazden

Of all the matter and energy in the universe, only biology creates an experience of reality through a bio-sensory process. To put it simply, snowflakes and electrons don’t experience anything. Only biology has an experience of reality which we believe to be totally real but is, in fact, a bio-sensory simulation.This book Tao is not a translation of the Tao Te Ching but rather an interpretation. In it Kazden focuses on the fundamental conundrum laid out in its text; a conundrum intrinsic to the very existence of consciousness. Today, in Physics, it is known as The Measurement Problem, and comes with its twin children Non-locality and Spooky Action at a Distance. Simply stated it says; there exists a dichotomy, of a consciousness born of biology, whose process fabricates for it an experience of reality. At the same time this process ensures that said consciousness is incapable of any experience of the actual, source, reality that underlies our universe. Einstein himself understood this concept when he noted that: “Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a persistent one.”
