First, the tao forms the world. It is "something" before existing, so it is "none exist". The material thing comes out from it, our thoughts come out from it. It is beyong everything, in everything. But we can "see it" if we follows the way Tao te Ching tell us.
There is no specific "way" in the Tao Te Ching in that there is no action you could do that would be more or less on the right path. The "way" is freedom from your desire and freedom from your action. The more effort you put into trying to find the "way" the further away it is.
The Tao Te Ching says:
"Look, and it can't be seen.
Listen, and it can't be heard.
Reach, and it can't be grasped."
The way is effortless and beyond comprehension. It happens when you arent looking for it and can be as simple as touching your cheek after washing your face.
1) The Tao that follows is not the true Tao.
2) The lesson that can be learned is not the true lesson.
3) The question that can be asked is not the right question.
4) None of the above.
5) All of the above.
6) Both all and none of the above.
7) Fnord.

Since the English versions of the Tao Te Ching are translations of the original Chinese text in Chinese, they are not totally the same. While the title is most commonly translated as Tao Te Ching, it is also known as Tao Teh Ching, Tao Te King and Daodejing. Lao Tzu, on the other hand, is also translated as Laozi or Lao Tze.
