“The Hermetic teaching does not imply a real duality — The All is One — the Two Aspects are merely aspects of manifestation. The teaching is that The Masculine Principle manifested by The All stands, in a way, apart from the actual mental creation of the Universe.

It projects its Will toward the Feminine Principle (which may be called 'Nature') whereupon the latter begins the actual work of the evolution of the Universe, from simple 'centres of activity' on to man, and then on and on still higher, all according to well-established and firmly enforced Laws of Nature.

If you prefer the old figures of thought, you may think of the Masculine Principle as God, the Father, and of the Feminine Principle as Nature, the Universal Mother, from whose womb all things have been born. This is more than a mere poetic figure of speech — it is an idea of the actual process of the creation of the Universe.

But always remember, that The All is but One, and that in its Infinite Mind the Universe is generated, created and exists.”

“In contrast to adherents of other Chinese religious and cultural traditions, Daoists (Taoists) understand the Dao as Source of all that is, unnamable mystery, all-pervading numinosity, and the cosmological process which is the universe.

The Dao is impersonal and simultaneously immanent and transcendent.”
