    Dear Jeni,

    Yes, that's pretty much the idea that Lao Zi, more commonly known as
    Lao Tsu, within the Dao De Jing that he is said to have written. The
    Dao, is something that is incomprehensible. If it is named, then that
    is not it. It is sometimes considered within Daoist cosmology to be
    the "creative spark" that came before the state of wuji, chaos, the
    undiferentiated ultimate, and continues to help sustain existence as
    a web of interconnectivity between all things.

    In this respect, the Dao, if represented upon the tree of life, would
    be that which came before kether in one form, and the whole of the
    tree, the paths and gates in particulate, in another form.

    Though, in trying to pin something down in this manner one excludes
    numerous other interpritations at the very same time.

    For those of you wishing to see a visual representation of what I was
    talking about should go to John Painter's site here:
    http://www.ninedragonbaguazhang.com/jiulongqi.htm The diagram at the
    bottom is the one that I am refering to. Which is also one of the
    earliest renditions of the Taiji symbol. In which case, a certian
    visual similarity with the tree of life comes to into play as well.

    Live well,
    Peter Reist
