The TAO decided to create this earth existence and divide itself upon the earth. The purpose of this was to gain the greatest diversity of experience. The Tao did not plan experiences but only a mechanism or an engine to generate a grand diversity of experiences through uncontrolled interactions.
Due to the great vastness of fragments and the number of lives, all possibilities can be expected, both those which are positive and those which are negative.
The purpose of your life,in its ultimate dimension or understanding,is not the shortsighted and very narrow vision that you have, but to the Tao.
Your life is an opportunity perhaps that you may experience something that the Tao has not experienced before.
Positive and Negative Experiences
The purpose of the Tao in fragmenting was to produce an infinite number of possibilities that may be experienced. Both positive and negative. Having said this though, one would assume that there would be equal portions. However, this again is not the purpose of the Tao. For more energy that feeds the Tao is derived from positive experiences. In other words, the Tao itself desires increased energy and the best way to obtain this is through positive experiences. Therefore, the Tao in its wisdom devised mechanisms that would skew the experiences more towards the positive aspect, therefore producing an increase in positive experiences.
Therefore, early in mans and woman’s civilization there were operating techniques that strove to produce positive energies. By bringing together large numbers of fragments in various soul ages, the possibility of new and varied experiences is maximized through their interactions. But their needed to be a skewing mechanism that would produce more positive than negative energies. This skewing mechanism can be considered government. For the correct use of government is to provide order so that the maximum numbers of people may associate together in harmony.
If government is to provide harmony through governing of its citizens, there are several methods of providing this harmony.
One is through strict observance of all rules and violators being severely punished or cast out (i.e. current day Japan).
Another is that through unconditional love all share equally and freely exchange one with another.
A third is that through mass peoples support, government chooses those aspects which the average person sees as positive.
Of those three, which is the highest ideal? Unconditional love.
All serve to produce differences in experiences. It takes only a few to destroy the perfect arrangement. But a society that is seen as widely successful it is not possible because the Tao has set also certain forces within the human spirit that restrict it. Those forces are a sense of individual opportunity. This of course may have a positive side and a negative side. This aspect of what you may call the individuals motivational drive allows the individual to seek to broaden their personal experiences which of course is what the Tao wants the individual to do. So it is by this very nature not feasible to structure a society where each individual seeks the betterment of its surrounding population at the expense of itself. This is counter to the concept of true love. That is why utopian societies inevitably fail.
Marxism is striving to be a utopian society where all work for the benefit of each other. All have the same or in other words, all experience the same. You can see the conflict the basic design of the Tao.
The third form which may be loosely described as the form of organized mob rule has definite advantages. First, it is unpredictable and therefore suits the Tao’s purpose. Secondly it is predictable and therefore suits the Taos purposes. Now to explain these conflicting statements. By having multiple people in the decision process, you of course obtain some very strange ideas of how to accomplish a simple task. You sometimes call this working in committees. However, this form of society although may seem to be slow and often unmanageable produces a tremendous amount of interaction to accomplish simple tasks. This interaction produces experiences. A form of maximizing the Tao’s endeavors. Also by involving as many fragments as possible and realizing that most fragments are guided by basic feelings of justice the end result of these decisions are generally positive in nature which produce positive energies for the Tao as well. The main drawback of this system is that is may produce times of intense conflict within the group when no clear choice is available. This of course produces negative energies. However, generally the end results are positive and beneficial.
