Thats a complete mis-interpretation of Lao-tse and his philosophy as well as Bhuddas philosophy. Lao-tse believed that the world is illusion and all we see is manufactured in our minds. Read the Tao tse tung; "Form is emptiness". "Emptiness is form." He absolutely did not believe man could become one with god; because man and god are the same. You cant become one with yourself. No duality;no discrimination. That example is a poor understanding of the text.
Got a problem with the interpertation? Take it up with Benjamin Hoff, whom by the way is a well respected published author and YOU ARE NOT!!!!!
No; but I read better authors. Benjamin Hoff is not well respected; hes a joke.
