The Birth of Tao

Confucius says,
"My Tao is to penetrate the Universe with ONE principle"; that is
Perfect virtue.
Also says THE SYSTEM,
"My Tao is to organize the Universe with BINARY"; that is 0 & 1.

Oddly enough, I believe he was a Confucian.

No doubt, Confucius is the originator of Confucism. But 'Tao' doesn't solely belong to Taoism and it's origiantors ; Laotzu and Chuangtzu. In old days in Oriental, especially in China, Korea and Japan, all of the philosophers and scholars said about Tao. Also you can speak of your own Tao... : - )

Indeed, Confucious and The System are fighting to create the New Tao... Lao Tzu went deeper perhaps, "The tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao. The name that can be named is not the eternal Name. The unnamable is the eteranlly real. Naming is the origin of all particular things. Free from desire, you realize the mystery. Caught in desire, you see only the manifestations. Yet mystery and manifestations arise from the same source. This source is called darkness. Darkness within darkness. The gateway to all understanding." (Tao Te Ching, stanza 1)
Not that I personally agree with everything Lao Tzu said. (I've put forth before some disagreements with his philosophy; but that's at present neither here nor there.)
A curt reply from Lao Tzu _might_ have been: The ultimate Tao is impenetrable, and the true organization is not organized. From the One comes the Two, From the Two comes the Three, And from the Three the Many, but the Tao is before and beyond the One. Shalom and Agape,
