The Tao De Jing - What Is Y'all's Concept of the Tao?

The Tao is the platonic form of all things, not knowable completely by our small human minds. The ultimate goal of anyone who is a Taoist is to align themselves with the Tao and eventually become one with the Tao or union with the Tao which probably happens after death. We cannot know the Tao; we can only seek to be as much like the Taoist possible here on Earth in our human forms. It's beyond our knowledge. And it certainly has no personal properties like many Western theistic conceptions of God or the universe.
