Lao Tzu seems to be talking about understanding the whole of Reality. And that in order to attain this understanding I must "not know anything."

What does this ‘formlessness’ mean?
How to attain it?

Here is my personal version of giving form to formlessness. Perhaps you can use some of it to create your own dances with.

For a start, it means not letting “other” hold “context” as well as “myself” on a physical level.

Either one is okay to deal with, but not both at the same time. This means, not handing any perceived “opposing other” anything to work with for gaining advantage. Next I extend this understanding to the intellectual level so that “other” can not effectively anticipate and gain insight in my approach, ways and strategies.

In this state I am in the flow, and I can willingly let go and be with and in my actions. I am balancing my act. When presencing/awareness dancing, I myself do not know exactly what the course of my actions is going to be. Still, I can let go of my ego, hold my core and trust my dancing ways ... My (ironic) core is the concept behind my open source stalking style.

(While writing, some thing just fell on my forehead. I shook my head and a quite longlegged elegant spider fell on the desk. It sat there, seemingly fully aware of my presence. I sat there and looked back. It seemed to greet me moving front limbs in the air, then rushed off the desk. And he was QUICK!)

Ahhhaaa.

Thank you, dear spider friend for the trust and the teaching ... In practical terms, my stalking style means that I don't get in a recognisable stance and I don't stick out limbs for “others” to grab and get a hold of. In cultural patterns congruence (5), variation sits in my core. When “an opposing other” makes a movement to the right, “self” can suddenly move to the left. If “other” applies a pull, “self” can push ... or not. This is my metamorphical battle field where “other” gets mightily comfused by my unexpected actions.

I take in the strength of any attack and lead the energy away from its intended path.

Not so. It's more like I have morphed into an absorbing blob of some kind. For what has no form can not be hit or taken (without consent).

And, by projecting such things as "You're so flat", “other” is giving my observer valuable information as to their true intent, strategy and ways.

• Apparently they are ("other" is) sticking out limbs.
• Thereby providing information.
• They have ("other" has) already lost.
• They just don't ("other" just doesn't) know (yet).
