Tao of the Day S6_052

What a refreshing show today, don't ask me why though, I wouldn't be able to pinpoint that. Melissa talked wtih me abou t#78, Alicia chose #77 and Jay K selected #28. #28 "Knowing There's Depth in the Shallow" Know the world through the masculine But access your power through the feminine: In this way, you will be open to receive. If you can receive then your actions will support, They will never be forced, and you will be innocent. Know the world through the light But connect to it within the dark: In this way, you will be open to the truth. If you can see truth, manifestation will not fool you, It will fall away, and nothing will elude you. Know the world through the particular But know there is no particular here: In this way, you will accept all things. If you can accept all things, you will be a beacon That will guide you, and all beings, back to source. The manifestation was formed from the void. The Master knows the manifestation Yet stays focused on the void within it. That is how she uses all things. #77 "The Bending of a Bow" Tao acts on the world as the bending of a bow. The top is forced down when the bottom is moved up. It is impossible for the one to act Without the other responding. Unlike man, Tao is patient and neutral Quietly adjusting excesses and deficiencies, Taking from what is too much and giving to what isn't enough. Ordinary men go against Tao, Taking resources from the areas that are deficient, Giving resources to the areas that compulsively consume. The Master knows all things are being adjusted. Although she cannot always see it in action She has faith it is working through her. In this way, she allows her actions to unfold Neither dwelling on them nor taking credit. Aligned with Tao they complement all things. #78 "Living in a Damaged State" Air and water are the softest things we know, Causing no damage to those that live within them Yet both erode the hard or rigid in their path. The soft and flexible will always overcome. While the hard and rigid eventually collapse. Ordinary men are well aware of this However, they prefer conspicuous outcomes. Thus they align with rigid hardness, It stands firm for a time, but does not last. Therefore, the Master teaches us that We can live amongst things that damage Without being damaged by them.

Tao of the Day S6_051

I was talking about #69 and how the USA dropped out of the World Cup losing all their integrity along the way. Stephanie joined me for #50. Virgina took advantage fo Newbie Tuesday and chose #10. #10 "Authentic Action" Can you control your mind, so it doesn't wonder? Can you control your body, so it doesn't wander? Can you endorse all that you do? Can you love everyone so as to inspire them? Can you do all this without interfering and remain unknown? Can you leave behind knowing and open yourself to understanding? Can you be like Tao and give birth Without possessing? Can you be like Tao and act Without expecting? Can you be like Tao and lead without dominating? If so, it would be considered great. #50 "Awareness of Death" Every being is entrusted with life for a time However, it is only a prelude to death. Some live as optimists, embracing life, Others live as pessimists, embracing death, Some even live in preservation, Passively living, advancing toward death. The Master lives aware of her appointment with death, This brings her to knowing Real Life. She cannot be harmed by rhinoceros or man Her movements flow from her being. She cannot be fooled by illusion or hallucination Her actions flow from her being. She has freed herself of all separateness Even the distinction between life and death. #69 "An Invitation to Conflict" In conflict the Master will never host aggression. She would much prefer to be the guest And relinquish space, rather than claim it. This allows the host space to exhaust themselves Without the Master having to weaponize anything. Wanting to control through aggression is foolish This underestimates conflict and its results. When you choose to conflict with another You look down on them and lose the 3 lessons. (Verse 67) By creating an enemy, you become an enemy. When two forces oppose each other The one who relinquishes prevails.

Toa of the Day S6_050

I kicked it all off with an in-depth monologue about #57. Sandy joined me with #9, Julie and I joked around about the World Cup and talked about #13. Jay K then came up and we shared some stories and #70. #9 "The Danger of Extremes" Having to prove yourself Will allow challenges to best you. Focus your attention on money And lose sight of what is valuable. Keep in mind outside influence And you will be its prisoner. Do what you do and move on, It isn't yours anyway. #13 "Finding Equality at the Extremes" To succeed and to fail are equally undesirable. Creation and destruction are equally present within us. What do I mean by "To succeed and to fail are equally undesirable?" The more success you have the more you protect it by hiding failure. The more you associate with failure the more you embody it. When neither success nor failure is identified as the destination Being becomes the objective. What do I mean by "Creation and destruction are equally present within us?" Having a body and a mind, with which I identify, gets me involved in the manifestation. The manifestation convinces me of my actions And so naming them I both create and destroy Neither of which are unique. To see yourself with indifference You will have faith in all things. To see the world with indifference You will be able to care for it all. #57 "Laws are All in the Heart" Tao governs all things by discarding objectives. Never possessing or interfering, All things only need abide the law in their heart, In this way they are free from desire. When Tao is ignored, objectives rule the day. Rules are created that make people expend energy to get around them. Intelligence is praised and rewarded while products become more demonic and intrusive. Weapons are paraded, fear spreads, and the hearts of all things close off. As litigation becomes a national focus politicians and criminals multiply. The Master needn't engage these traps She is quiet, and people follow their light She is peaceful, and people are compelled to be honest She does nothing, and all things flourish together. Have no desire and all things will achieve primal existence. #70 "These Teachings" These teachings are simple and transform lives Yet mere intellect cannot grasp them. These teachings are older than life and benefit all things, Yet people prefer the manifestation. Very few people will ever truly understand what is written herein But for those few, these pages will guide them to themselves. Meanwhile, they will be labeled as course and uncaring In the manifestation they are seen as dull and disinterested Yet, in their heart, shines a light for all things.
