But for some Taoist to reject technology because it dont look like a forest is ridiculous, for we humans and our technology is part of Tao, if it was not, it would not exist. I say accept it as one of the ten thousand things that happens to be coming into existence in our time. My point is that all things that come into existence, whether we like it or not, is part of Tao, not something distant from Tao but a manifestation of Tao. All we can do, now that technology exist, is to try to use it in the most healthy and balanced way as possible, instead of self destruction like pollution and war. We should not let ourselves be totally swept in by technology either, we should take time away from these things and go back into the forest to enjoy raw nature in all its greatness, for Lao Tzu said it best, and that is to see the simple and embrace the primal, but this does not mean we should hold on to sunsets while rejecting sunrises.
Technology is a double edge sword.
There's the theory of the collective unconscious and how everything is connected through matter as well as non matter giving us a cosmic matrix. This is the yin and yang of cause and effect. Also this relates to whats known as Destiny and Fate, for one is controllable while the other is not. This is what we should return to, so that we might find our true original inner nature of simplicity, this way we escape the congested complexities of society. In our reality of motion, we have simplicity and complexity, we need to balance these two and yet keeping to the primal simplicity in order to better deal with complexity.
