    Introduction

    Do D Jng stands out of most of the ancient texts as it isalmost fully devoid of arbitrary axioms or a reliance on faith. Itspostulates are self-explanatory, principle-driven and have arigorous confluence and cross-consistence, akin to concepts ofmodern science and technology. o !i

    systematicallyintroduces a general purpose frame"ork that reveals and links

    together many crucial aspects of #niverse and our $xistenceand could be thus rightfully considered as an ancient %heory of$veryting&.

    Do D Jng as Theory of Everything

    %erm %ao 'in author(s opinion, an adopted $nglish andinternational "ord for ) Do in *inyin, similarly as %ai +hi iscommonly used for %i J, surely eludes any froendefinition. It denotes the highest principle of the #niverse thatcan be 'often at the same time a sub/ect, ob/ect, predict orattribute in the sentences of Do D Jng and other %aoistscriptures. It may be related to a generic concept of0bsoluteor

    a Divine, but "ith much broader scope than aanthropomorphied 1od of the most religions. D2ng 3n' in the 4ecret of the 1olden 5lo"er refers to %ao as6%hat "hich exists through itself7 "hile o !i talks about it as

    something 1reat, 8ystical, *rimordial and unidentifiable, butstill something that can be aspired to, achieved, held andapplied.

    9e can find related principles in other profound teachings, forinstance in the 68iddle 9ay7 of 3uddhism, 6It7 of the !en,69ay that has a :eart7 of %oltec 4hamans, 69alking "ith 1od7of $noch ';ld %estament or 6+hrist "ithin7 '

    8odern 1roup %heory 'extensively present in +hemistry,+lassic, 4uperstring and other 6#nified 5ield %heories7 and6%heories of $verything7, for instance, defines symmetriesC ofthe natural and artificial systems in the mathematical and

    physical #niverse to explain their basic nature. 4ymmetry of thesystem describes "ays in "hich it can be transformed to itself.In addition to the defined group of self-reflectingtransformationsof the system, symmetry also defines systeminvarianceto these transformations.

    In the case of simple systems the invariant parts are very simple.5or instance, in the case of the idealied mechanical clock,

    "here the central axisof the clock is invariant during rotation ofthe t"o arms around the center 'comprising so called #orone-dimensional #nary 4ymmetry, "hile in the case of 6rigid

    body7 of the mechanics, the shapeof that body is invariant toany translation or rotation.

    In modern technology, the invariance and the transformations ofthe systems can be much more complex and the aforementionedinvariance is not al"ays static. In the case of computer system'conceptually, a final state %uring machineE, its internal statesare synchronied around invariant ticking of the system clock,

    "hile the operations of the application soft"are are regulated bythe invariantservicethreads of the computer operating system.0 program code of any compiled soft"are application is alsoinvariant in a relation to its utiliation. In the human "orld, %ai+hi form or Farate kata demonstrate a simple symmetrytransformation "here an 'invariant practitioner performs aseries of steps and stances and then returns to the initial

    position.

    5igure G +hange and Invariance

    0s a general rule, a *hase 4pace'set of possible behaviors anddegrees of freedom of the system stays invariant in all of the

    actual changes. 4uch independence or encapsulation of theinvariant elements from the real-"orld transformations of thesystem is a basis of its stability 'character or nature. 9e cannotice the same principle not only in the isolated systems, butalso "ithin a +osmos as a "hole - the la"s of physics areconsidered true, "hen they remain valid for all possibleapplications.

    In the first chapter of Do D Jng, "e can recognie adescription of the generic self-transforming space and itsentities, around its invariant, +h?ng ', character that is alsotranslated as constant, absolute, eternal or immortal aspect.%he $ssential

    1ng,>Rcome from the 4even $nergies. Identification andanalysis of these patterns in Do D Jng is a very deep sub/ect,out of scope of this introductory "orkW ho"ever, "e can point toa couple of samples that illustrate this structure.

    9e can notice, for instance, that three Do D Jng chapters,follo"ing the first one, indicate the matching domains of %hree*urities '4n @ng,. +hapter > describes %ao of the#niverse, +hapter B is related to a '4overeign Individual and+hapter Q to the ;mnipresence of the %ao. %hese domains

    could be associated respectively to u?n 4h%in !n', the ruler of Jade *urity 'N @ng, presented

    "ith an Immortality *ill in the hand, in charge of the continualcreationW ng 3o %in !n ', the ruler of :ighest*urity '4hng @ng,, presented "ith a scripture scroll, incharge of recording kno"ledge and Do D %in !n ',

    alias of o !i, the ruler of 1reatest *urity '%i @ng,,presented "ith the fan, in charge of spreading :eavenly

    9isdom.

    4piritual roles of these characters could be roughly compared toJudeo-+hristian concepts of Divine 5ather, 4on and :oly 4piritor to 4hiva, Aishnu and 3rahma from :indu tradition.Differently from other holy books though, the teachings of DoD Jng do not aspire to extensively 6flatten7 deep mysteries of

    considered primordial and eternal by nature, potentially able to6hold the %ao7.

    :eavenly scriptures 'Jng of %aoism look more like

    compilation of scientific formulas than myths about adventuresof the Divine characters. 5or teachings provided in such form

    "as, of course, al"ays difficult to spread to the "ider circles ofpeople. It "as al"ays easier to adopt the inertia of the commonsocial beliefs or to blindly follo" the imposed authorities.:o"ever as o !i observes 'in +hapters >M, &>, CM, the

    benefits of such conformance al"ays fall short in scope andtime.

    #pon some efforts invested into its study and application, theInner teachings slo"ly but reliably become a pragmatic set of6best practices7, "hich could help synchroniation andalignment of any possible set of beliefs, experiences or skills of

    the practitioner, in much more varying conditions than thoseassumed by simple dogmas. 9ith a foundation in the primordialsimplicity 'as in +hapter Q, BC, rather than in eyes of theothers, Do D Jng and other manuscripts assiste a continualdevelopment of capabilities 'or Airtue of the practitioners 'as in+hapter RQ, "ithout leading to a dead end or amassing their

    inner conflicts and side-effects.

    0nother illustration of the s=uare configuration at 5igure Qcould be related to a "ell-kno"n formula 'mentioned forinstance, by N FunyN ', +harles uk in his "orkG%aoist oga, 0lchemy and ImmortalityG 6Peturn Jing toInvigorate 3rain7. 5illing the nine brain palaces "ith thepersonal transmuted Jing brings %ao practitioner to some veryre"arding fields of "ork. $ach palace is a portal to a full three-dimensional reality. 5or instance in 8ng %?ng ', 3rilliance*alace, frontmost from the nine palaces one can experience

    interesting endeavor to try to extend the existing physic theoriesinto the further dimensions. $ven though modern science issometimes gated by the expectations to form the theories thatcompletely conform to a basic human perception and can bepretty slo" in adopting the 6reality7 of concepts such ascomplex or negative space 'in spite of their relevance, the %ruth
