"In the ultimate Beginning there is nothing, without anything, without a name. It is that from which the One arises; there is the One, but not yet shaped. When things get it as the means by which they are generated, we call it the 'Power'. In the not yet shaped there is division. The about to be so without anything intervening, this we call 'destined'. By halts in its motions it generates things. Things completing the patterns of their generation, this we call 'shaping'. Each shaped body, for the protection of the daemonic in it, has it's own norm or rule; this we call it's 'nature'. By the training of our nature we recover the Power. When power is at it's utmost, we accord with the Beginning. In according we attenuate, in attenuating we become Great, and blend together the twitters of the beaks. When the twitters of the bleak blend, we are blended with heaven and earth.
Their blending is a blurring, You seem a fool, you seem obscure. It is this one calls the Power from the depths. In accord with the ultimate course.
(Chuang-Tzu, chapter 12)
