Daodejing Poem 1

第 一 章 

道 可 道 ， 非 常 道 ； 名 可 名 ， 非 常 名 。 無 名 ， 天 地 之 始 ； 有 名 ， 萬 物 之 母 。 故 常 無 欲 ， 以 觀 其 妙 ； 常 有 欲 ， 以 觀 其 徼 。 此 兩 者 同 ， 出 而 異 名 ， 同 謂 之 玄 ， 

玄 之 又 玄 ， 眾 妙 之 門 。

To understand chapter 1, you need to read Taoist Yoga chapter 1 first. The last verse of the above chapter is talking about the Mystic Portal. The chapter can be read as:-

The Way can be trodden but it is not a normal Way. You can name it but the name is not its name. Without a name it is the creator of heaven and earth. Given a name it is the mother of all creation. Always empty (nothingness), you have to observe its mystery. Conceiving its presence, we have to observe its outlines. These 2 observations are the same. Both are mystic for we are looking at the mysterious Mystic Portal. 

Observation is done by the 2 eyes. The only outlines you see is the nose tip and the abstract X image. It resembles the Buddhist swastika. The difficulty in explanation is that we have to look at the Mystic Portal but this is impossible for we only see empty space. So the guide is to look at the nose tip, viewing the abstract X image. Even in the Bible, it reminds us to look for Jesus outside the city of Jerusalem, that is the place of crucifixion on the hill. Jerusalem is Mystic Portal, nose tip is where Jesus was crucified.

The accupuncture point 'suan kuan' is the Mystic Portal. This is the Mark on our forehead. There is no mark just name in Quran and Bible. This is the Gateway to our origin. Once it is sealed by the Heavenly Way group or I-Kuan Tao, the One inside there will return to its origin.
