Even before the Tao Te Ching, there was the Tao. A very illuminating post ... you have just given me more reason to admire Egypt:) Thank you, Yahia:)

Yes, that's exactly it, Pryde! (Incidentally, that's also what the Sufis believe. ) What's in a name?
Thank you, for your kind words about Egypt; our ancient wisdom is not dead, it only slumbers :)
The very first verse of the Tao Te Ching warns against naming the divine. I think like all things the wisdom of Egypt is alive and awake but it has evolved:) I always tell people I am a 'philosophical Taoist' and also a philosophical Christian ... I can go on ... but now might I say I am philosophical Egyptian ... perhaps that is pushing my luck ...lol:)
Yes, to define is to limit. And, that's why the naming game does not help much. Once, I was enamored by Existentialist philosophy--this was a phase that, mercifully, is over. The Tao te Ching means a great deal to me, as well, and I accompany my wife to church, some Sundays. There's truth, everywhere, honorary Egyptian :)
Cool ... feels like I accomplished a life goal:)
