Something mysteriously formed,
Born before heaven and Earth.
In the silence and the void,
Standing alone and unchanging,
Ever present and in motion.
Perhaps it is the mother of ten thousand things.
I do not know its name
Call it Tao.
For lack of a better word, I call it great.
Being great, it flows
I flows far away.
Having gone far, it returns.
Therefore, "Tao is great;
Heaven is great;
Earth is great;
The king is also great."
These are the four great powers of the universe,
And the king is one of them.
Man follows Earth.
Earth follows heaven.
Heaven follows the Tao.
Tao follows what is natural.

In my opinion heaven is the creation of human mind. What is real is the Earth and nature. Earth is a product of some random reactions in the nature. Nature predates everything, may be in a different form.

Endlessness of time and space and cycling according to the local parameters.
Local means any particular universe and time. There is no proof at all that the parameters called constants are constant.
Gravity seems to be changing into repulsion in our visible universe.
So the flow is neither born nor dies.

It must have always been here. Maybe it was sleeping before it became self-aware.
