The only judge will be Goddess, who ...

A feature of Dao, as a noun, can be how
there is no judge nor not a judge, or both
are able to be and exist naturally as deities.

To be a witness, as the Universe is my witness,
suggests there is at least one pupil of a sort.

A seeker seeks to know.
A knower knows and doesn't speak.

As a creator, first, create a noun, a name.
A temptation tempts me to put an article there.
In front of the name, like the. A definite article.

The universe where the Universe knows.
It without being he nor she, not they.
A third person singular impersonal word.

This, Universe, without intent, or perhaps with,
some type of an impulse powering the process,
out of which all beings, all forms form.

Deities could exist.
Daoism has its pantheon.

The Three Pure Ones.

- hmmm ... thanks! Cheers!

The Three Pure Ones.

A symbol, a sign, characters, glyphs.
Two appear to be one, in a sense, as E+CteU.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Pure_Ones

A form of ChatGPT says:

<< E+CteU is usually translated as rCLOne QirCY or rCLPrimordial Qi.rCY

Breakdown:

E+C (y-2) = one, unified

teU (q|4) = vital energy, breath, life force (an older/Daoist form of u#u)

In Daoist and cosmological contexts, it points to the original,
undivided energy from which all things ariserCobefore yin and yang split. Sometimes rendered more loosely as rCLthe single vital forcerCY
or rCLoriginal breath.rCY

Short version: the One energy behind everything. >>

Probably, at that level of differentiation,
there is no judge. To judge or not to judge
would be more of a yang and yin splitting
hair ball the cat coughed up.

- thanks! Cheers!
