well, the Tao te Ching is more universal & it was the very first book of wisdom actually since it was written some 10,000 years B.C. (or B.C.E, if you prefer); it definitely relates to modern science & astrophysics much more too.
but, how much art has the Tao Te Ching really inspired? Not much.
on the other hand, how much war has the Tao Te Ching inspired? Not much. There was a brief tangle with the Confucians, but that was about it. The I-Ching is actually equal parts Taoism & Confucianism really.
I'm a western white man & a Kierkegaard devotee, so my unconscious gets more stimulated by The Bible ultimately.
The New Testament is about Christ as a symbol for the Self. Too bad more so-called Christians just don't get it. They should be required to study C.G. Jung's essay on the matter.
