How Our True selves Actually Work The Miracle Of The Powerful Tao!
Tao is a hollow vessel, And its use is inexhaustible!Fathomless! Like the fountainhead of all things, Its sharp edges rounded off, Its tangles untied, Its light tempered, Its turmoil submerged,Yet dark like deep water, it seems to remain. I do not know whose Son it is, An image of what existed before God. (Tao Te…

The World, Like The Tao, Works in Cycles
Reversion is the action of Tao. Gentleness is the function of Tao.The things of this world come from Being, And Being (comes) from Non-being. (Tao Te Ching chapter 40, Lin Yu Tang trans.) I spoke last time about using the Tao to get what you need. I explained that what comes may not be what…

A Different Way
As I said in my last post, many people follow Buddhism, Zen or Taoism. However, it is not necessary to practice the rigidity of these philosophies.

The Many Paths

We live on this planet to gain experience. We are really a consciousnesses that I call the true self. When we incarnate or reincarnate, the true self takes on a body and a mind. These two are not who we really are. Once we are born, the mind begins to learn. It develops an ego…
