In Dao Philosophy Study, Preachers or Masters tend to make the Term Dao & One Two Three theory to become very mystical and profound. And this is why, many a time, People tend to “Lost” their interest in finding out more or just blindly follow what is being given to them and never had a chance to explore themselves, this indeed defeat the purpose of the Teaching of Dao & One Two Three.

In here, Jave will be making a very Brief Introduction on Dao & One Two Three. This doesn’t means that Jave is here to challenge the Preachers or Masters, but to put the Profound Theory into a more Simplest-way for People to understand and see how the Dao & One Two Three Theory matches into the Normal Mortal Living Lifestyles we are in now.

So what is Dao?

No One in this Mortal Realm can understand what is Dao, neither a High Priest nor a High Spiritual Cultivated Master, but in Theoretical Part, Dao is being explained as a form of Level, Position and Dimension that Oneself can attained to when Oneself get combined or manifested-together into the Dimension or Energy (in Taoism, this is what we mentioned most of the time – Qi 氣, translated as Energy or Aura).

In Astrological Explanation, Dao is actually Universe or University Law, which means that, Dao is not easy to be Understand or still not yet being explained by many Theories or Experiments.

And in Spiritual Explanation, Dao is when a Person attained Immortal-hood or being accepted by the Celestial Realm as part of the Qualified Personnel to accomplish certain task in reducing Sufferings and also, lead the others onto the Path of putting down Oneself and realised the True Inner Self of Oneself.

So How Dao is matches with One?

In Taoism, Dao is being mentioned as Null (in many Theories, Null doesn’t means totally Nothing but is a Pre-stage of Manifesting something out from Nothing).

From Dao to Null, in Taoism, it is known as:

混沌生無極。Hun Dun Sheng Wu Ji

Wu Ji, known as Zero Stage of the Pre-Universe-formed Period, it is also a Period where Nothing had yet to be Manifested but, during this Period, the Core Elements are actually being “Born” in the Central System where is hidden inside the Null.

Such small Core Elements can be explained as Particles or Viruses that had been floating around in the No-named Dimension before this Universe is being formed.

From the time of No Particles or Viruses created to the Period of Core Elements are being shaped into a Form for the Preparation of the forming of the Universe, this Period was known as Tai Ji (太極), which in Theory known as the Stage One of Pre-Universe-formed Period.

And in Taoism, this is known as:

無極生太極。Wu Ji Sheng Tai Ji


After Tai Ji was being formed, this is the Period when Null had entered in the One Stage and this was where the starting of the Path of Universe formed.

This was Stage Zero to One.

How’s the Stage One to the Stage Two of Dao being formed?

After the Stage One had started, the various Elements started to combine or collapse accordingly to their own Mass & Varieties and this is how, the Yin Element (陰) & Yang Element (陽) or the Positive & Negative had started to form.

Yin Element, can be explained as the Heavier Particles that combined together to create a Negative Element, whereas,

Yang Element, can be explained as the Lighter Particles collated together to form a group known as Positive Element.

And this is the time that the Dao is able to classify the Positive & Negative Elements with their respective Behaviours, such as Movements (falling into the Two Poles of Magnetic Fields 兩極), Reactions, etc.

And with All the Natural Particles ended their Forming Period, this was known as Liang Yi (兩儀) Period, which in Taoism, known as:

太極生兩儀。Tai Ji Sheng Liang Yi

And this was how, Stage One stepped into Stage Two of the Dao.

How’s the Stage Two to the Stage Three of Dao being formed?

With the different Elements of Particles being separated and stationed in their respective Positions, the Harmony does not last long due to the Over-weight-age and Over-packed Elements that being compressed in a Small Space (remember this, this Period is still far from the Universe being formed).

As the Elements are still trying to accommodate themselves in such a small Space, certain frictions might occurred and as time goes by, the Energies that being released out by the frictions accumulated and within a period of time, finally the Two Elements collated with each other and this was the Period the Two Elements Manifested themselves into New Elements.

This Period was known as Big Bang in Astrological Term and in Taoism, it is known as,
(PS: to know more on Taoist Big Bang, feel free to visit this link: http://javewutaoismplace.blogspot.sg/2007/11/creation-of-dou-mu-and-relationships-of_6394.html)

兩儀生萬物。Liang Yi Sheng Wan Wu

From then, a New Era had created. This is the Start of a New Universe (in Taoism, the Universe that we stay in is only part of the Main Universe, which is known as Big Dao 大道).

And this was when the Stage Two goes onto Stage Three and finalized the whole Manifestation Period of Null to Things created.

Dao & One Two Three Theory

In Taoism, we have a saying of,

Dao forms One, (道生一)
One forms Two, (一生二)
Two forms Three, (二生三)
And Three forms Everything. (三生萬物)

From here, we are able to know at least how this Theory is being explained with the Stages of where before this Universe is being formed.

Besides that, this One Two Three Theory also fits in the Theory of Dimensions that Scientific-explanations have:

Dao forms One as Dimension One (1D 一維).
One forms Two as Dimension Two (2D 二維).
Two forms Three as Dimension Three,
Three forms Everything, the Dimension that we are staying in Now – 3D (三維).

In within 3D Realm, this is where Living Beings are able to have recognition and live-on (things created out from Nothing or in short, Make things happen). And this somehow matches the sayings of Taoism – Three forms Everything.

In Spiritual Theory, only certain Spiritual Beings are able to be captured in Dimension Two, due to the Eliminating of the Physical Form, this somehow fits the Explanation of the Stage Two where before the Big Bang Theory happened (Yang & Yin occurred on Individual-self, same goes to Spirits without Physical Bodies).

The Three Pure Ones of Taoism and the Dao & One Two Three Theory

In Taoism, with the aid of collaborating the Three Pure Ones (三清道祖) into the Dao & One Two Three Theory, it somehow assists the Taoists to understand the Dao Theory or Taoism Culture more effectively and interesting.

Yu Qing Yuan Shi Tian Zun (玉清元始天尊) in Three Pure Ones is also being addressed as Dao Bao (道寶).

Dao Bao, was the First High Position Deity to be Manifested by the Null (which in Taoism is known as Yuan Shi Tian Wang 混沌無極元始天王) and was directed to over-see the Period of Stage One. And this was why, Stage One is also known as Dao Stage (道境界).

Dao, as what is being mentioned above, No One can really understand it but yet, it is able to give People a Path to achievement and successful. Without Dao, People will be lost and same goes to, if the Dao Stage was not being formed, there won’t be a Universe for us to continue the Culture.

And this is why, in Taoism, we have to remember the Great Effort of Dao Bao and so by the receiving of his Fullest & Highest Preaching, in Chinese known as Gui Yi Dao Bao Zun (皈依道寶尊).

After Yu Qing Dao Bao, the 2nd Highest Deity that being Manifested was Shang Qing Ling Bao Tian Zun (上清靈寶天尊), in Three Pure Ones is also being addressed as Jing Bao (經寶).

Jing Bao, taking charge of the Stage Two where Yin & Yang were being formed. During this Period, Jing Bao played a very Important Role. He not only be able to classify them into the Right Element Group, Jing Bao also have to lead them correctly & uprightly to the Path where they shall go to or to the Respective Groups the Particles needed to end up in. And this was why, Stage Two is also known as Jing Stage (經境界).

In Taoism, using Jing Bao as the Representative of Stage Two is the most accurate one.

In Taoism, the Term Jing Bao has got a few meanings,

1 – Jing as in Taoist Scriptures
2 – Jing as in Going Through
3 – Jing as in Past Events

As mentioned, Jing Bao got a few meanings and this is why, by sincerely receiving the Preaching & Teaching of Jing Bao, Oneself will be able to understand how Taoism came about through Scriptures, bu going through ALL the different stages of Life, Oneself will be able to learn and accept whatever is not able to and last, by looking at the Past Events, Oneself will be able to achieve what have yet to be achieved in the future.

And in Taoism, we remembered the Wonderful Advises of Jing Bao and so by the receiving of his Fullest & Highest Preaching, in Chinese known as Gui Yi Jing Bao Zun (皈依經寶尊).

When the Stage of the Universe formed, this was where Living Beings are being created. This is the time that a Master is needed to over-see ALL the Behaviours of the Beings.

Tai Qing Dao De Tian Zun (太清道德天尊) had taken over the Task of over-seeing the Final Result of the Universe-formed. In Taoism, he is also known as Shi Bao (師寶). And during this Stage, it is also being addressed as Stage of Shi (師境界).

Shi Bao, also explained as Master or Teacher. By allowing Shi Bao to look into the various Post-issues of the Universe-formed, he was able to give directions & advises, in-order to make the Universe a better Space to stay in. And this is why, in the Bao Gao or Praising Incantation (寶誥) of Shi Bao, he was being mentioned as Huang Zhe Shi, Di Zhe Shi, Wang Zhe Shi (皇者师。帝者师。王者师) - explained as the Masters of ALL Beings.

In Taoism, Shi also gives us a few meanings,

1 – Shi as in getting advises from
2 – Shi as in providing advises
3 – Shi as in gaining learning
4 – Shi as in becoming a better person

And in Taoism, we remembered the Useful Teaching & Preaching of Shi Bao and so by the receiving of his Fullest & Highest Preaching, in Chinese known as Gui Yi Shi Bao Zun (皈依師寶尊).

Summary

As a Taoist, remember where ever Oneself goes, do keep this Dao Jing Shi Bao in Heart & Mind. By using them as a Mirror, Oneself will be able to understand the Theory of Dao, Jing & Bao.

With a Simple Respect of saying this Greeting:

弟子心身常皈依道經師寶。
Di Zi Xin Shen Chang Gui Yi Dao Jing Shi Bao

whenever Oneself honoured Deities, regardless any venues, Oneself will be able to receive the Teachings of the Big Dao.
