This book is not about the principles, history and philosophies of Taoism… Taoism promotes joyful living… and part of that is living with joy, peace and grace. Everyone is constantly on their phones, checking out other people’s profiles and are constantly distracted by the barrage of emails, messages and notifications. You see, I totally understand the desire to want to learn and yet dread reading a long and thick book at the same time! That is why we created this book…Īncient wisdom is exceedingly important today with the chaos happening around in today’s world. You are someone who do not settle for average. Look! I do not know who you are but I am sure you are on this page right now because you are someone who wants more. If people can keep this true emptiness as their essence, and utilize this ineffable existence as their function, ever serene yet ever responsive, ever responsive yet ever serene, tranquil and unstirring yet sensitive and effective, sensitive and effective yet tranquil and unstirring, empty yet not empty, not empty yet empty, aware and efficient, lively and active, refining everything in the great furnace of Creation, then when the dirt is gone the mirror is clear, when the clouds disperse the moon appears revealing the indestructible body of reality, they transcend yin and yang and Creation, and merge with the eternity of space.Shocking Statistics: An Average American Reads 1 Book a Year and 50% of those are Romance Novels… It is because they have nothing inside that they are able to ring and resound.What I realize as I observe this is the Tao of true emptiness and ineffable existence.True emptiness is like the inner openness of a bell or a drum ineffable existence is like the sounding of a bell or a drum when struck. This is because they are solid outside and empty within. Enjoy the moment in its totality,It is to live as part of the whole, to live as part of existence.If you become silent and empty, everything will come on it's own accord.When you live without any desire for power, position, fame or success, the whole existence pours down into your emptiness.īells Ring, Drums ResoundWhen a bell is struck it rings, when a drum is beaten it resounds.
If you do not choose, the mind drops.Live life as it comes - float.
Lao Tzu says: be choiceless, let life flow.Enjoy both poles in life, and then your life becomes a symphony of opposites.How to drop the mind: do not choose. Be simple.And when you are simple, you do not choose.
Life exists through the tension of the opposites, the meeting of the opposites.Lao Tzu says that the opposite poles of life are not really opposites, but complementaries.Thinking is always of opposites. In silence, the truth is realized.You reach to truth through silence.All spiritual books tries to say something that can not be said in the hope that a thirst, a longing, is created in your heart to know the truth.Tao is totality. Lao Tzu's first paragraph in the book "Tao Te Ching" is that the Tao that can be told is not the absolute Tao.Lao Tzu has his own logic, the logic of paradoxes, the logic of life.To understand Tao, you will have to create eyes.Lao Tzu believes in the unity of opposites, because that is how life is.The Tao can be communicated, but it can only be communicated from heart to heart, from being to being, from love to love, from silence to silence.Truth is always realized in silence.
