    I'm God. I'm Satan. I'm everything. I'm everywhere. I'm like the wicki shiki you see me now, then I'm over there. Before you see me. You think you do. I'm not from your world. I am the dimension. I'm the underworld. I'm the dumpster on fifth street some hobo calls home.

    there is no "the" way, other then consideration and self restraint.
    there are many not the ways though.
    new ones are being invented all the time.
    (though older 'not the ways' are quite sufficient)

    He is referring to the Tao. Which is everything the Tao knows that you must have good to have evil there for neither is liked or disliked. They simply hold each other together. You, too are the Tao. The Tao is also a symbolism of a high being. It is similar to hippie beliefs that you are me and I am you. You are the world and the world is you. And life is God. I hope that clears some of the confusion up :] Happy days.

    I remember coming across a culture, I'm leaning towards believing they were from Indochina? I recall that their entire vocabulary consisted of verbs in different forms. That there were no noun or noun compliments.

    If you were to combine that with only speaking in present tense, you would realize that there is no past or future and everything is actually not a noun but an action. In a way, THIS is simply what the Universe is doing. I am not a noun, merely one of the universe's many verbs.

    How much am I, or indeed even any of us, part of the Universe? We can't separate ourselves from it. Hell, even in traveling into outer space requires that we bottle our immediate environment and take it with us.

    Our perceptions of identity and individualism is simply one of the more brilliant and fascinating tricks the Universe is playing. We aren't just part of the universe, we are the way.

    All is one. Opposites are reconciled.

    Meagian,

    I know how Taoists think of "God." I was just using a hint of sarcasm with a dash of wit to throw at the OP for trying to claim they are God. :)

    My odd sense of humor.....
