Is Tao a Living Organism?

Let me explain what I mean by that.

Most of the philosophies I have encountered seem to focus on particular rules/laws. It seem that Tao/Dao is and has been a living organism. That has and will continue to exist until we are long gone. Yes, there are "rules" or "laws" that everyone has to "abide by," but it seems that Tao/Dao could be applied into someone's life in anyway they desire. For instance, when I study a philosophy such as Buddhism, is it not true that you have to follow a certain amount of rules/laws. It seems that these rules/laws have been written in stone. Tao/Dao on the other hand, seems that it could go into any direction one chooses. Is this a correct assumption? Personally, it seems that Tao is non-existing, but at the same time, it is everywhere and is everything. I can bring it out and I "can see it." When one choose to do so.

Is Tao a living organism. Does it expand? The philosophy itself? Is the rules/laws set in stone? Can they be moved? Or can they be restructured. Is Tao a moving Philosophy/Thought. Could it be applied even after 3,000 years to modern living. Also could it be applied 3,000 years from now? It seems many other religions/philosophies are out of date and do not seem to grow as Tao does. It seems Tao is always growing in understanding and explanations from many different authors/poets/masters.

Okay, I think this is all I have for now. I will add some additional thoughts and ideas. Please, discuss and let me know what your thoughts are. Thank You all for reading!
