An example of "disregarding" is Wang Pi's statement re Tao: "...formless and without ties, constant and cannot be named...." Nb that Wang has described four attributes of Tao: formless, without condition, constant, ineffable.
Yue Tao-Sui's "Treatise on the Double Truth of Causal Combination" states: "...the combining of causes [leads to]...being, which is worldly truth." The yang and yin combine to produce the three and the many, which is "worldly truth."
"The disconnecting of them results in non-being, which is the highest truth" [regarding worldly being].
Wang noted that Confucius had the Buddhic understanding of what Theravada terms "Atman," or the "I Am" individuation of Plotinus' One Mind Soul, but Confucius chose to emphasis practical concerns.
On the other hand, Gautama stated he taught while rooted in Atman, but "Nerti, Nerti" ("not this, not that") regarding the materialistic phys is and mortal-minded psyche. This is compatible with Taoist immortal body energy dynamics, and somewhat dissolving re non-Connective (non-Realizing) Confucian ritual, which at that point is similar to some of the Hindu orthodoxy of Lord Buddha's time.
"The Path of the Higher Self," Mark Prophet, "A Philosophy of Universality," O. M. Aivanhov, and "The Path of Virtue," Jonathan Murro, treat this general "ineffable" issue.
