“Here is a rhyming Tao. Born from consulting numerous texts both in the original Chinese and other translations for many years. As far as possible I have tried to maintain precise authenticity to the original Chinese while adding rhyme to reason. It is my wish that you benefit profoundly. It is not a book of rhymes to read through. Rather take one with you here and there and chew.” W.F.M.The Daode Jing is a short book of about 5,000 characters. It has 81 verses and two parts: Part one is the Dao Jing 1-37 , part two is the de Jing 32-81. The earliest known copy is the Guodian manuscript 300 BCE. Even though this is an incomplete copy there are great references. The next to oldest are the Mawangdu A and Mawangdui B manuscrips 250 BCE. These two are incomplete. Future manuscripts are much easier to read because they include the correct characters in many cases. Among these are the Heshang Gong, 180-157 BCE and the Wang manuscripts, 226-249 CE, which are a great main source for translating the poems. They provide the framework; the earlier ones add to its richness. The latest is the Fu Yi manuscript 555-639 C.

1.What of words?

Feeble tools. Forget personalities and forms. For a time-Journey, destress…

Unwind

There is one white projection light Yet many scenes.

First get behind the screen and

Dream

Wanting takes a picture in time.

Forgoe desire and possibilities you’ll find

Trust the trance, now’s your chance

Dark beyond dark.

No comment to make

Mystic Grace

2.

How is beauty known but by an ugly show

Only when one appears is the other known Opposites ever present;

Long, short, high, low, difficult, easy front and back

Honor the cycles of this and that.

Try and escape this changing play and you’ll never find your way. Pretend to be sure and you’ll loose your core.

Quantum Black Holing

Digesting forms The is the norm

Wise people teach no talking Doing nothing

No walking

Inwardly still Forsakan thrill

The winds of current direct the path A cork on water is how to react

10,000 changes rise and fall with no attachment

Withdraw to advance

Working well no credit is accepted Knowing graciously rejected.

Are you so wise that you can conclude? True knowledge is not that rude

All is in flux-

Right and wrong, pleasure and pain…

FIRST, get really quiet

THEN, you’ll find your way.

3.

Do not praise the gifted

If you do you’ll be attacked by the wicked.

Hoard useless treasure begs stealing Do equitable dealings

Don’t touch desirable things just wait

all gifts will be given. Lust is not the way. But there is a pure energy given for what you need to create today.

Natural longing is magentic fire. And it is born from no desire. Contentment satisfies

Humbleness rectifies

Weaken objectified ambition

Gather yourself to your inner mission

Governing others well first occurs through emptying their outer compulsion. Fill their bodies with the invisible food is the primary notion.

Delivering this strength feeds their bones.

Then naturally they awaken to the root of what is known. Bones produces blood, blood creates mood.

Restart all paths to the inner room.

When nothing is left to be done all can enjoy the passage of time

Trust is won.

4.

The Tao is empty

and deep like the hole a deep Well.

A magic spell

Eternal is its nature exhaustless for you.

But, more is true-

Does conflict abide? Then there’s ‘stuff’ inside.

What have you lost?

It asks-

‘May I come in?’

We don’t know what this Is…but It knows where we’ve been. Heaven and earth have their own process

Personalities are not special but come from the one

Perceive the hidden meaning behind the scene and get everything done

Like a black hole is the Tao Recreating all that is now

Spacious timelessness cannot be touched

Enough is enough

The space inbetween heaven and earth is a bellowing motion The shapes are transformed but not the single notion

More movement=more transformation. Let others find their way to the inner nation.

Knowing blocks life’s flow

Who’s the one that says I know?

Dull yourself when being too pointed Untangle your knots

Take down wall’s Silence thought

Humble like the dust is the person of Tao

So hidden and deep yet present Upgrading the human genome

Its energy never spent Older than God

We are all grist for the mill

Foods for the cosmic cake.

Great ingredients each of us make.

Into…

The sages lair

where all’s unborn.

Space eats form.

The void is the place where creation begins the greater the vacuum the more the spin.

The cauldron of creation comes out of your space Take your place

Endless explanations can not help you.

Get quiet and still

Then and only then can life move through you directing your will.

A Valley Spirit Never Dies

Laying low it always thrives.

It is like the mothers acceptance, primal nourishment It is the gateway leading to heaven and earth.

Never inflate your worth.

Each life form deserves a bow. Each person deserves a hearty Wow.

Like puzzle pieces in space. We ourselves are the ingredients of Grace.

Be used by The Tao It will never fail you

Heaven and Earth Eternally Last.

Realize this and have a blast.

How can it be that these last forever? Because they are based in the unknown Give more time to what is not shown

PRACTICE

Staying behind

Let the world go first and watch from your established perch.

This is the way you can get ahead. Today, right now is the time for you to practice a full rewind.

By staying behind sudden progress you’ll find.

The path to ‘that’ reside in this.

Don’t be drawn by temptations designs.

KEEP YOUR PLACE TO WIN THE RACE

Secured in your theatre seat, watch the play with snacks repleat.

It may take a long time to find yourself again but it wont happen with endless worrying and doing without end.

Be selfless-

It is the only way to cure the ego’s dream. Reconfigure maniacal seeds

8.

Rain Rejects No One

and blesses the lowest places.

Why reject what’s offered? Spend some time just filling your coffer. Snuggle up to nature’s embrace.

Take time off.

No time to waste

So it is with the person of Tao-Nature-God. Home life rich by being close with the land.

Meditating in love. Interventions sent from above

Actions are timed without a mind Talking with others is gentle and kind

True in speech justly ruling Competent in business Naturally doing

These are evolutions tools

When there is no fight Who can blame?

No one makes any claims.

9.

Better to keep a little hunger

and stop short of full.

Leave some room for the unknown pull.

It’s the invisible food that is more important than interest in food too much. Oversharpen and the blade will blunt

The brighter the light the quicker it shuts

Why be anxious has that worked yet? What you we think Trusting would beget? Money overrated

Things ill fated.

Amass great stores and no one can protect it. Don’t interfere even a little bit.

Claim, wealth, title or competency and disasters are you companions.

Retire and rest

10.

Have you realized your unity with all or The Clarion Call?

Melt and become again supple. As a newborn babe learn to suckle. Pliable all around, body and mind unbound.

Washing each sense, organ, gland and bone.

Is the filth entirely gone?

Guiding without guile is my style. Truly, I dont know what to say?

Please accept this energy package to nourish your Way.

No credit due

Guiding without dominating is the proper attitude

Lead from servitude Forget being rude

All is given from the Primal Source Nothing new

Divinities course

11.

Buckets and Vessels

These are wonderful in their ability to wait. Such useful empty space

Drop the mind Find silence Refine.

Waiting patiently creation makes good use of you every time.

Usefulness comes from what is not there then you will make gains from what is shared.

12.

Colors and Sounds. Tastes and Touches

are meant trace us back to inner substance.

Senses without the inner purpose lead us astray into outer compustions that are not The Way.

Pour out or pour in?

At least first fill the container within.

Attend to the inner action. Racing and hunting, comparisons and fights. All exccesses…

Such realms just a test.

Senses and intellect are poor perception tools. Sages keep to the source and thereby rule.

Faith says meaning is behind the dream… Trust your intuition it is behind the scenes.

13. Being disgraced is a welcomed embrace.

Troubles arrive – Purify to thrive

Disgrace lances the ego boil…when it comes be sure to toil.

Within the self to cleanse each spot. Only then we awaken to insights we knew not.

Disgrace purifies why deny? Misfortune and loss are not great costs. So, what to fear?

Just keep close to what you hold dear.

You see, the substance in life is worth more than strife.

You’ll be alright.

Surrender humbly to what is here in your life. Along the path are cycles which denying make more strife.

Trust that all is well…Listen to what nature tells. A bubbling brook or swaying tree herein’ are enlightenment seeds. Sprouting to gardens within…bringing to light all that’s dim.

Surrender humbly and life bequeths. Friendships, graces and all in between.

Where can you be? A fixated point?

Willow wisp movements oils your joints.

Love others as they are yourself. One organism is the truth to tell.

14.

Look for it and you will be disappointed

It cannot be seen

Listen for it and there no echo for it is a dream.

Grasp the water and none is retained Keep to the center to remain.

Above it and the sun is not too bright Below darkness it isen’t night

There is an unbroken thread joining all to the dream

Formless is its source Nothing is what it means

Forms by formlessness Images by blankness

Undefinable and Imaginelessness. Just Nothing

Try to be before it and you cannot find the beginning. Try to follow it and you cannot find an ending.

Stay forever bonded with the ancient Tao and move with whatever is present now.

Enslaved by The Tao is your greatest freedom. Dissolve what you think you know. Find what is before the spark creating The Tao and it will automatically authors your best show.

15.

The Real Enlightened Person Cannot Be Described.

But, Here’s a few pointers to help you define Mysterious, unfathomable, silent and profound, Responsive

Taking no credit Reknown.

Careful, we are…like people like walking the newly iced over streams. Alert are we like warriors and mean

Courteous as the gracious guest. Alert to be their best.

Yielding to all as melting ice does to heat. Nothing complete. Shapable as the block of wood being carved

Defined by every mark.

Hollow as caves Obedient as slaves

Unclear like muddy pools.

Yet, Quietly that settling down until all is calm and cool. Eternally patient for the right time and the right tool

Nowhere to go, nothing to say. Have no need for fulfillment so peoples demands for change do not sway them

Yet change remains.

So, Others find solace in this life complete. Easy to love the one with no need.

Who can wait long enough for the stiffed up pool of their muddle mind to settle down before taking their next action? Who can remain still until the moment of action presents itself?

Completely empty yourself of everything

everyone, everywhere and everytime Dissolve conception is your only chance to birth

The new design

Only being at peace without one thought. All comes and goes

Nothing bought

Sit back and enjoy the show. Forgetting all you know. Everything grows and abounds then dies and decays.

It’s Nature’s Way

Remember all return to this deep rest. Keep this in place and nurture your nest..

Contemplate the return and you’ll find all the needs you had in mind.

Soon on earth a heaven you’ll make.

Openminded, openhearted. Graciously continuing what we’ve started. The sweet return of all who’ve parted.

Being open hearted you will act in the best of ways witch each and every person.

No Distortions

Being Divine you will finally attain The Tao after all your efforts and be entrusted with everything you could ever want or need.

The Good Seed

Being eternal having attained the goal. There is nothing you do not know

Completely bowed to each and every town Each and every grace you’ve found.

Body/Mind synthesized.

Take your place, now’s your time.

All bodies and matters dies but The Tao you are and you’ll always thrive.

Such mastery is rarely known.

Simplicity eclipses intelligencias norm.

The next kind of people are known and loved Then the feared

Then the judged despised from above.

Those who do not trust the other person could never be trusted by life Too just much strife.

The sage feeds and guides. The people say…

“We’ve did ourselves this time.”

1. ​

Once we forsake The Tao force appears

This is the way of pain. With law and grace battle only fighting remains. You abstain?

Wisdom and intelligence is next that comes to instruct Pretense acting as separate and superior

It’s really inferior

With no peace within the family orders words of piety with devoted instructions Then sins becomes destruction

Finally loyal ministers arise to save None of this is Nature’s Way

1. ​

Sacrifice your Sainthood, Superiority and wisdom

And inconsiderate agitations will vanish Forsake panic

Forgotten, defeated, dismissed is the greatest person who eternally persists

Kindness is not an act but a flowers fragrance. Give up contrived actions and strategies.

Become The Universal Prodigy

Just be kind and it will be much better for everyone. People will automatically discover

The One

What could people fight? No need for might and right

Honor all people, enjoy their beautiful contribution to the evolution out of the mire Realize your True Nature by forgetting selfishness and your impure desires Conceive only The Purifying Fire.

Abandon learning and your troubles will cease

What do you think you really need for peace?

Others may be elsewhere along their path: Insect, animal, human divine Soon it is we all will shine.

Yes, no, right, wrong, good evil…is there really a difference when viewed from Tao?

Its all evolutions play in order Avowed.

Only in the relative world are there sides to take. In The Tao only progress is automatically made

Must I be afraid?

What nonsense.

Others are content with things that do not interest me. I am happy just to Be

Others are so sharp and swift. I still drift.

I’m still in search of the greatest gift

Like a newborn baby who has not yet smiled Wobbly, unsure in nourishment coddled Alone I have no place to go

Utterly dependent on The Flow

Others have so much more than they could ever need yet I have nothing to speak of; nothing complete.

Such a fool am I and I’m glad it is so. I’ve bowed out of dualisms show.

Oh yes, I am confused and need help. Others are so bright clear and quick yet I remain dim; no whit

Alone am I quite stupid really.

Drifting aimlessly like the waves of the sea Without any direction as a restless wind.

That’s me.

Not busy like some…

Retired…undone.

I don’t know how but everything keeps being won. I am different

I am nourished by the great mother

The best virtue in life is to follow The Tao

and The Tao alone

Illusive and ungraspable yet images appear Dark yet essence so dear

The essence is real and felt

Faith is clear

From the beginning of all things all creation knows It always Thus every person, place and thing is known as one of Tao

Because of this

Friends in the highest places Bequeath special graces.

Yield to entrain the substance remains.

Bend to be made straight Empty out to be filled up

Wear yourself out to to be renewed. Possess little and gain much

Lay claim to a lot and you’ll always be confused.

The wise people set the example to all by trusting Not displaying themselves

They keep shining forth

Not justifying themselves They are distinguished more

Never boasting Recognized Set apart

Not quarreling so who argue’s with them?

Sages say yield to overcome and all goals are effortlessly won.

Being truly whole good things come

Talking little is the natural way.

Silent sourcing beyond the fray.

High winds to not continue forever. Neither does heavy rain go on without end. Eternally waiting patiently; making amends.

If heaven and earth to not make things last forever why should we try to reject the changing tides?

Abide

Being at one with The Tao, Virtue and Loss Its all fine.

You have counted the cost

We are but a leaf on a tree…

A lapping wave from a boundless sea…

Remembering these is ever with us… Tao, Virtue

Especially loss

Willingly embraced it when it appears. Not knowing what is far or near

If you cannot trust

Then you as well wont be trusted much

Never stand on tiptoe it is not safe.

If you stride too hard you won’t finish the race.

Keep an even pace.

Making a show is not enlightened. The self righteous cannot brighten.

Inconsiderate, self righteous people know not The Way

but you have your own choice today.

Proclaim your accomplishments and you will not endure This is unhealthy food

Just toxins destroying your mood

For the sage there are not these needs. They bring unhappiness.

Release Breathe

Mysteriously created and born long before heaven and earth.

More important than personalities and forms is Its worth.

Silent, void, alone and unmade.

This unknowing place is our ultimate state. Ever in motion

Call it way, God, Tao, Light… Without proper terms I call it Great From It you and I have been made

It begins, creates, destroys and returns Nameless Silence gave it birth.

Tao is Great Heaven is Great Earth is Great You are Great

Conceive within this evolutionary state.

Tao, Heaven, Earth and You-these 4. Be clear that the human being Is the mystic door.

Man follows earth, Earth follows heaven, heaven follows Tao and Tao follows the natural course. (Tao)

A teaspoon of neutron star would weigh around a billion tons

25. Heavy is the foundation of lite

Stillness and silence conquer disturbance This makes sense

In great travel the wise person has their belongings always very close. Even with a multitude of people nose to nose

In the midst of so many sights and sounds They keep to themselves

The chaos abounds

Detached and Contented

Why should a master of life act the fool for others? Wisdom is covered

Being restless The Tao is smothered

Good walking erases tracks

…Good speaking leaves no lack.

Fairmindeness needs no accounting. Solid attention need no locking.

None could ever enter

Perfect binding has no ropes…Perfect leading needs no hope. The sage cares for all and none is lost.

This is the track of following light the only path granting might.

Whats a good man? A bad mans guide. Whats a bad man…a good mans shine. Teachers repected, students accepted.

How could people not interact this way. Quantum evolution The supernatural way.

Confusion and loss will repeatedly arise This is the best mystery to prize.

The journey is long so keep on track.

Being a valley receive all.

The meeting ground without walls. Ever reshaping with so much to do. Progressive blessing for me and you.

Instead of listening would we rather speak? Two ears yes one mouth is a hint to keep. Taking over the universe is not our way.

Apprenticing every single day.

All speak life, each sound and sight.

Attempting control is misery for all.

Repent, reverse, find yourself. Soon it is that all is well.

Try to change or teach another is an arrogant filth. Try honor instead.

Mutual wealth

No trusting and surely we loose. Follow along get in the groove. Only a true person can trust and do.

Intuitive signals give us the cues.

Let go of thought and feel instead.

1. Know mans strength but keep the woman’s care

Be a conduit for the universal cosmic energy yet unknown

As a little child

not fully grown

Lao Tzu was ‘The Old Boy’

Be free in Spirit unbridled This is your Cosmic Title

Know what is white but stay in the black

As an example to the world. And your delusion shell cracks

Being an example to the world all will follow without knowing the source

Divinities Course

Your always safe to embrace What God/Tao mentions Then print again your environments lesson.

Honored yet humble and remaining humble like the valley the waters of the cosmos constantly flow to you

Consistent and True

Forget who you are and take down your walls

Be again as an uncarved block to be marked by all.

Surrendered to The Sacred Trust

Beyond complaint Being wise do the same The expert tailor

makes few cuts

Do you think you can take over things and impose your will? You are mistaken. You are the only person that doesn’t know. Only an apprentice to this great show.

If you try to change the functioning of the universe you will ruin everything.

Wait a little longer-obey, obey Subtle message cause you sway.

Try to hold it you loose it.

Keep submitting to all that comes and soon you’ll be the one who’s won. Outwait others wait on Source.

Force creates karma of the lowest sort.

Wait and wait ignore the hype.

Sometimes ahead sometimes behind Breathing easy or hard we find-

Strength or weakness above or below.

Its completely beyond your ability to fully know Just enjoy the ever changing show

Avoid extremes unless imposed.

Not complacent Nor excessive

When true rulers come to you

They council patience instead of force.

Resistance is the only result when the leaders of the land plot destructions course After war thorn bushes spring up

Lean years follow the warring tribes; Protect all life.

Proper advantage is only given never taken.

Do your part and bow out from those that are utterly forsaken.

Gain results without a boast. Never proud

Humbly avow

Create results, industriously act…a simple lever; don’t hold back. Never force in a violent way this keeps divine help at bay.

Forgive and forget; renew, refresh.

There’s such magic in you. But first you’ll have to trust the others. All true.

Force results in loss of strength.

Steady as she goes to go the full length.

Result gained all other ways

Will not remain

1. Instruments of injury and death

all people fear

every lifeform fears a spear.

Weapons display the wise never show nor threaten others for pretense of blows

They are only used without any other choice. Without mention Wisdom perfers the left war the right. Both are necessary and wisdom guides. Warring action is not the wise ones way. Only reluctantly is war made

Peace and quiet is wisdoms Source, when war is done its loss for sure. How could any rejoice in victory?

Keep humility.

Delighting in killing is insanities best it doesn’t nourish nor provide any rest.

No fulfillment can come having disregarded respect

Temporary gain does not last find The Tao embrace it fast in time. Happiness is safe on the left sadness controls from the rights flank. Two actions in harmony transcends the fray.

Giving opportunities for peace today.

Still overcoming must occur yet mourn the loss and before the fight count the cost. Victory in war is like a funeral.

A forever undefined Tao

As water is beyond our grasp

So we are behind a mask.

Each form does take a shape

Yet we are before each form made.

If leaders could let it through them then the people would naturally behaive Heaven and earth combine in One Way.

Today

Laws are unneeded for everyone smiles

As soon as this unity divides then the parts need names But there are already too many

We need to know when to stop, not doing the same things from action

Wane

Less troubles then in our lives Returning to The Source Rejuvinated

Alive

Knowing others you are wise

But by knowing yourself your healing will arise.

To control others you need force.

But to manage yourself strength is required

Of course

Do you have enough right now?

Then surely you are rich beyond measure Contentment is pleasure

Perseverance is a an overflow of power not a squeeze Endure where you are and you’ll find all you need

To die but not be objectified is to last forever Awareness personified

Tao blesses everywhere left and right

Day and Night

All creations depend on it and still it holds nothing back

No lack

Fulfilling its purpose without recognition. Needing nothing from others

Divine Commission

Nourishing everyone Yet never ruling

Quiet Small

Unknown by all

You cane ask of It when you need. It makes no claim and has no greed

It is the greatest thing in the universe Giving birth to God

A gentle nod, you know its true and this great Tao is the same as You

1. All come to the person of Tao Grounded they come to this holy sod

For here is resting, happiness and peace.

A supernatural gift of protection where all violence does

cease.

Others may choose music and good food instead What a terrible trade

Bowed out of the race

The correct choice is This Grace

but they that ask have to sacrifice all else for Even though it cannot be seen nor heard it is Near You cannot exhaust its gifts

Give up ‘over there’ Be embraced in it

Here

1. Do you want to be made whole?

Is that your goal?

Admit that your broken and haven’t a clue

You

To condense your power it must first expand To be allowed to fail first make your stand

Embrace your wrongness Deflate your ego Surrender fully

Give up your show

Start over

If you can’t admit your brokenness how could you ever be repaired. Your defense mechanisms rob you of natures share

If you want to become more grounded then first truly express your need Let is all out so you can find the bad seed

To burn them full first let them arise

If you want to transform Give away what you prize

You can call all this the true nature of things. Hard to understand for ordinary folk.

Trust is greater than understandings notes.

Its all about using the soft and weak to overcome the hard and strong How could you experience this without trust

Give up what you must-

Fish do not leave dwelling in waters

Keep your weapons invisible to love ones, sons and daughters.

Now, now is your last chance Engage this cosmic living romance.

An eternal honeymoon is yours to keep Start now to be made complete

Keep to no action and wait a bit longer then again wait some more.

If rulers knew such non doing People would be self ruling.

Formless substance

Nonsense?

Without form there is no desire

The meaning and feeling is undisturbed.

Fulfillment exists and persists

Drop the defense mechanisms to what you resist.

Your job is nothing, nothing whatsoever and nothing further.

Just trust Abandon your future

Forget your sin Start Again.

Freshly beginn

When Tao is gone a good person come

A truly good person is clear. Their goodness they do not know. Proclaim to be good?

This will echo that you have no goodness and are filled with woe

Only foolish people claim competency

No!

Truly good people do nothing and are complete Yet nothing is left undone

Foolish people are always on the go Yet so much left incomplete

Justness competes Unnatural discipline scars

Forced ruling engenders wars

Thus, if people would tell the truth that they do not know The Way shows up for everyone to know.

When the silent Tao is lost then true goodness is made clear If goodness is lost a kind mood appears

Next, justice scales

With no justice then ritual prevails

Ritual is the last husk of The Tao The beginning of disorder

Beating drums without conscience destroys natural order

Take The Medicine Reverse your search Burn you sin

Fully Torch

Isent what your doing all the time compulsively attempting to know the future It’s your folly

Purify desires

Re-design

Being truly great dwell in whats real…

External trappings, flowers and fruits are the manifestations not the root.

Dwell in your subconscious oceanic depth. Not the surface where winds and waves are met.

When you drop defense mechanisms from objectified perception you’ll have to endure

projections

Rejections

All grope about searching outside themselves as personalities and forms. Accepting this intrusions to your personal spaced as the norm

Purifying fires Righting desire

Therefore, accept the One and reject the other. Actions are automatic

Have no heart nor mind of your own. Be free

Be Oceanic

This is enlightenments norm

39.

Since before time all have arisen from The One.

Spacious sky, Solid Earth, Radiant Sun.

Spirit, valley and all teaming life Leaders and Country all upright All this is because of virtue

Strong and effective in all that they do What about you?

You are the gas Tao is the car

Pour into ‘It’ and you will go far.

Sky so vast, whole and clear Earth complete

Spirit Strong

Because the sky is so clear it does not fall Dropping down its heavenly dew for all

The earth so firm it does not split

Inexhaustible spirit never quits The valley receives all its need.

It constantly accepts and receives

Then, the ten thousand things thrive do not go extinct With endless supplies you are linked

Good leadership. Accepts, receives, adapts

Therefore, humility keeps nobility safe Grace

Like clouds absorbing water cleansing your tissues Relieving you of your issues

Without substitutionary graces you cannot become whole And virtue can only be yours to proclaim to all

Such strong earth it keeps its worth. Infinite spirit cannot be overused

With such abundance none are abused.

Prodigious growth and species thrive Surging life fully alive.

The humble and true makes roots strong…firmly planted they last long. Rulers alone abandoned without.

oo much bloom can never sustain don’t flit about and you’ll remain.

40.

Return and remain at home

Be alone

The Way is not found in going astray

Come back from your obsessions Gain divine recognition

Yield some more Inner space

The Greater Grace

Everyone and everything

Coming from Being not looking about ever seeing You will find what you need in none being.

Quit dreaming

Quiet down Settle down Touch down Break ground

No need to go anywhere or do anything for now

Just Trust

Wise people seek out and trust good advice.

Average people just think its nice.

Foolish ones laugh Let them laugh

If they didn’t laugh you wouldn’t be on the right track.

The greatest brightness has the backdrop of darkness The path advancing seem retreating

The most virtuous are humble

They are not interested in raucus and rumble The cleanest purity has a relationship with dirt. Know your worth

Careful steps are regarded as a waste of time by the hurried

Great skill comes slowly, carefully. Boring and content yet constantly worried

The highest notes we cannot hear… Perfect shapes unclear

The source has no name and is unmade Only The Tao can save you

Follow The Way

If you do today fulfillment you will find

From the Tao came The One

Then, the two and 3

From three came the ten thousand things

The 10 thousand carry yin and make yang sing

By combining the forces a synthesis is born Healing transfiguration is the norm

All people bow to protect the mother and embrace the fathers show. People distain

Being alone

Yet, the great ones find

Much pleasure in solitude time.

Keep Investing in loss and all is well.

People hate to be “orphaned,” “widowed.” Or “worthless,” Yet here is the wise describing themselves

Start over now

And your success tomorrow?

Who can tell

For by loosing you gain And

By gaining you loose

Truth

The teaching is clear violent force Just makes things worse

Keep still and quiet for safeties gain Await your turn to forever remain

The softest thing will always win Transforming every sin

Making malleable event the hardest thing

If you have nothing and are nothing itself you can enter everywhere Hence, the value of non action is clear.

It is the source of getting it done.

Be embraced by undoing, quieting down more, going for repairs and upgrades. The right action at the right time is automatically made

Stay where you are Don’t go far

This is the teaching based in silence and the work completed without effort. So few understand the magic key to Worth

Not going nor doing yields the tremendous surge.

Fame or Self which is more important?

Self or Wealth?

Which gives you health?

Gain or loss?

Which is the greater pain and cost? Isen’t the source of ‘out there’ ‘in here?’

Only relinquishment finds the way. Give up while you still have a chance and trust.

Displaying your pride is a waste of time. The loss is greater than the gain.

Your process more important than your shine

Contentment cannot disappoint

Stop before its too late. Withdraw, re-evaluate all. Then, at a later date

Engage.

If you know when to stop you’ll be forever safe Just Trust and Root down in this satisfied place. Don’t race

These are the keys to build great passion but remember always to wear calm as your fashion.

The best accomplishment is clear of imperfection.

Knowing its limitations is the proper perception.

To the master of tao even the most full appears empty

In this way there is never exhaustion

To eternal principles there are a natural sentry

With nothing done exhaustion never comes. Intelligence? Ha. What can we

know? Too much eloquence is really a woe. Movement stirs the cold, stillness cools the head. Tranquility always finds the way that’s best.

1. In The Way of life flowing freely horses haul manure. In chaos the horses are for war.

Discontentment breeds violence seeds.

Why do you keep insisting you have a need?

Isen’t fulfillment itself a quality to perceive? Discontenment is fuel for negative emotion It is ann evil potion.

1. Without going outside we perceive what’s up. Cushioning vibes at a distance much. As chaos approaches it touches The Way. Grounding and nourishment is found to stay.

All creatures love such space in it is all grace. Unknowing is hope, undoing a skill…less and less

No intent nor will. Anc, naturalness dawns and all is done under the sun.

1. The need to learn acquires. The way of life retires. Less and less assertion, little exertion. Everyone is on the right course. Why interfere and make it worse. Letting others follow their own path while bowing out from asserting out will keeps all spacious and still.
2. No mind to call our own. Others needs are not alone. Goodness embraces this and that, the rains fall on every hat. When we feel intuitive faith we do not discriminate good or bad.

In love with all both the happy and the sad. Sages seemed confused…and this lostness we find our food.

Yet most people stop and listen ever examining their position. But little child isthe heart of us all.

Freedom lives and calls.

3 in ten follow life. 3 in 10 follow strife. 3 in 10 are just passing by. To be the remaining one is anyone’s choice. In such a one all lives rejoice.

Walking without fear they’ve purged shock and are clear.

No wound can come no attack be launched because no disease calls out for a punch.

1. All arises in earth and sky. Tender nourishment reshapes whatever went awry. Without repect the same is given. Just a gardener for the human vision. Sheltered, protected providing for all. Relax into sharing freedoms call. Echoing without effort…resounding without skill The Way is ever here to stay.
2. Close it…shut down…mouth, nose, eyes, ears…psychic searching will only find fear. Reverse the search beyond the play…Connect simply with nourishment to find your way. Smallness perceives vast details and scales, yielded, quiet and still The Way wills.

Outer light illuminates inner insight. You are saved from harm in the sages arms.

1. Coming back to our senses we begin the journey within…Here where we are. This main road through is an inner trek to find the True. Why be sidetracked from what we must do.

Rulers too bright forget the weeds. Storehouses too full and they forget the seeds. Its not natural to take and take…it spoils freshness and all that’s at stake.

Recalibrate your course from inside/out changing and growing without a doubt.

1. Great establishment cannot be moved. Firmly help and nothing needs to be proved. This lasts thru much time and all may find that the way to cultivate virtue is in ourselves.
2. A newborn baby laughing, the virtue is thick. Unbridled happiness heals the sick. Wild beasts walk around, birds of prey pass by. With soft bones and weak muscles yet grip strength is high.

No sex has been known yet vitality shows.

56

The incessant talkers do not know

The quiet ones understand putting on no show Just keep quiet

Keep guard in sensing.

Eat the invisable food. Drink the nectar of the gods. Touch the earth that immortal sod.

Genetically temper your edges Simplify with levers and wedges

Mask your brilliance

Keep touching earth for groundedness and reslilience.

Experiencing this there are no friends and enemies just a universal play And sanity

Pain and pleasure, harm and helpfulness all internalized in a cosmic penitence. This is the highest state of being.

Morphability Self reinvention

Becoming someone totally different A different personality

Different habit forces

57.

Rule a nation with justice. Dictionaries say justice is:

Fairness and fairplay, equity and impartiality, neutrality and morality.

Wage war with surprise devastation. Reconfigure an evil nation

Make sure they are totally submitted The new entrainment is properly fitted

Receive their honor and emit discernment Outwait and prepare-transmute that disease.

Become the master of the universe without striving.

Becoming coherent in the face of all No effort to speak of nor places to fall

All are known by feeling the body This biofeedback exposes folly

More demanding and laws and people are hurt Too much pain already why with danger flirt

Flaunting sharper swords and the little ones cringe Ingenious designs with complexity refined

And all deviousness people do find.

Ruling with the iron fist when people are in need Creates thieves

Therefore,

Wise people say…I do nothing and practice relaxing self craving and all are naturally soothed into good behaving.

By experiencing my peace of mind themselves they are saving.

I don nothing and people are free to find themselves without my nagging. The example I set echoes in time

Without need fulfillment they find

58.

When the country is ruled with a light hand The people are simple.

When harshness rules Cunning is the peoples tool

Happiness is rooted in misery.

Misery lurks benearth happiness for all to see Who can know the future

We cannot be sure; without vision Honesty becomes dishonest.

A muddled position Goodness is delusional. Keeping it intentional

Therefore the wise are sharp but they are not invasive They are pointed but never pierce whats been made Straight shooters but with restraint.

Brilliant but not blinding the upstaged.

59.

Caring gently for others and serving the heavenly mandate Restraint leads the way

Restraint begins with giving up our own ideas.

It depends on using our accumulated virtue from past good deeds.

Virtue is the source of lifes power. With it nothing is impossible. Hrough it the darkest place has the lightening flash of possible. Virtue heals the moment.

If nothing is impossible, then ther are no limits. Ruling is common sense

Nurturing selflessly

Roots going deeper and the blooms extending endlessly This is The Tao of long life and eternal vision

60.

Ruling, guiding is gentle and careful

Underneath it all; genuinely playful

Evil cannot distort when embraced All things have their place

Once acknowledged it will dissipate

Protected

Safe from harm

In the presence of the one without harm The entire universe is disarmed.

And the Virtue in each of us refreshes everyone.

61.

A great nation is like low land.

It is the meeting ground of the universe, The mother of the universe.

The female overcomes the male with stillness, Lying low in stillness.

Therefore if a great nation yields to a smaller nation, It will conquer the smaller nation.

And if a smaller nation submits to a great nation, It can conquer the great nation.

Therefore those who would conquer must yield

Why..? The personal accountability in the mutual dynamic Darshanic/Atmic Ambrosial attack

Therefore those who would conquer must yield, And those who conquer do so through yielding.

A great nation needs more people; A small nation needs to serve.

Each gets what it wants.

It is fitting for a great nation to yield. 62.

Tao is the source of the ten thousand things.

It is the treasure of the good and the refuge of the bad. Sweet words can buy honor;

Good deeds can gain respect.

If people are bad, do not abandon them. Therefore on the day the emperor is crowned, Or the three officers of state installed,

Do pnot send a gift of jade and a team of horses, But remain still and offer the Tao.

Why does everyone value the Tao so much?

Isn’t it because you find what you seek and are forgiven when you sin? Therefore this is the greestes treasure in the universe.

63.

PRACTICE NON ACTION

Work without doing.

Tast the tasteless.

Magnify the small, increase the few. Reward bitterness with care.

See simplicity in the complicated. Achieve greatness in small things.

In the universe the fifficult things are done as though they were easy. In the universe great acts are made up of small deeds.

The wise do not attempt anything very big, And thus achieve greatness.

Easy promises make for little trust.

Taking things lightly results in great difficulty. Because the wise always confront difficulties, The never experience them.

64.

Peace is easily maintained;

Trouble is easily overcome before it starts. The brittle is easily shattered;

The small is easily scattered.

Deal with things before they happen.

Put things in order before there is confusion.

A tree as great as a man’s embrace springs from a small shoot; A terrace nine stories high begins with a pile of earth;

A journey of a thousand miles starts under one’s feet.

Those who act defeat their own purpose; Those who grasp lose.

The wise do not act and so are not defeated. The do not grasp and therefore do not lose.

People usually fail then they are on the verge of success. So give as much care to the end as to the beginning.

Then there will be no failure.

Therefore the wise seek freedom from desire3. They do not collect precious things.

They learn not to hold on to ideas.

They bring people back to what they have lost.

They hel[p the ten thousand things find their own nature, Yet they refrain from action.

65.

In the beginning those who knew the Tao did not try to enlighten others, But kep it hidden.

Why is it so hard to rule? Because the people are so clever.

Rulers who try to use cleaverness cheat the country. Those who rule wihout cunning are a blessing to the land. These are the two alternatives.

Understanding these is Primal Vitue.

Primal Virtue goes deep and far.

It leads all things back towards the great oneness.

Dis-eased anger is not virtue Misused sexuality is not virtue Ignoring suffering is not virtue

If there is a good store of Virtue, then nothing is impossible

Toxicity of all kinds ruins virtue Excesses of all kinds ruins virtue

Stay at the center of the wheel and watch the universe revolve. This Spirit inexhaustible

5. Enlightened people don’t care to teach. The example of their lives is what they preach. If others can see beyond their void the lessons of life will be learned.

6.

Cleverness and strategy have no use when contrived they are abuse. Be without cunning innocently in love

Be the blessing sent from above Primal virtua is the source we seek Returning us to all we need.

67.

Those who are whole have stood and knocked.

Waiting for others…

So different then path of doing

I have three treasures which I hold and keep The first is mercy, the second is economy; The third is daring not to be ahead of others.

From mercy comes courage; from economy comes generosity; From humility comes leadership.

Nowadays people shun mercy buy try to be brave; Tehy abandon economy but try to be generous;

They do not believe in humility buy always ty to be first. This is certain death.

Mercy brings victory in battle and strength in defense. It is the means by which heaven saves and guards.

1. A good soldier is not violent.

The best fighter is not at odds with environment

Winning should not beget vengeance. Employing others is a form of penance.

This is known as Virtue accomplishing without striving

This is known as the ability to deal with people.

This since ancient times it has been known as the ultimate unity with heaven.

1. There is a saying among soldiers: “I dare not make the first move but would rather play the guest;

I dare not advance an inch but would rather withdraw a foot.”

This is called marching without appearing to move, Rolling up your sleeves without showing your arm,

Capturing the enemy without attacking, Being armed without weapons.

There is no greater catastrophe than underestimating the enemy. By underestimating the enemy, I risk losing what I value.

Therefore when the battle is joined, The underdog will win.

1. My words are easy to understand and easy to perform, Yet no one under heaven knowns them or practices them.

My words have ancient beginnings. My actions are disciplined.

Because people do not understand, they have no knowledge of me.

Those that know me are few; Those that abuse me are honored.

Therefore the wise wear rough clothing and hold the jewel in their heart.

1. Knowing ignorance is strength.

By learning and changing we can go the length.

Ignoring knowledge is sickness. Being the authority to yourself is nearsightedness Once we have enough of being sick the moment of acceptance does the trick.

The wise are not sick because they are sick of sickness.

1. When people lack a sense of awe there will be disaster.

Do not intrude into their homes. Do not harass them at work. If you do not interfere, they will not weary of you.

Therefore the wise know themselves but make no show, Have self respect but are not arrogant. They let go of that and choose this.

1. A brave, passionate person remains in the prey predator mode; kill or be killed. Stuck in shock such people cannot any longer perceive the mystery of life

Coherent Will

With this making your point whatever the cost is much more effective. Fight, Surrender Transcend…all these in one cycle granting clear perception.

A brave yet calm person seeks the watercourse way. Never to stray all life is cherished.

A brave and calm person will always preserve life. Of these two which is good and which is harmful Some othings are not favored by heaven. Who knows why? Even the wise are unsure of this.

The Tao of heaven does not strive and yet it overcomes. Its actions are precise and the mission is won.

It does not speak yet is answered by life. It does not prize strife.

It does not ask, yet all its needs are met. Now the successful patterns are set.

It seems to have no aim and yet every purpose fulfilled. This cannot come from ill will. Heavens net is cast wide. Though its meshes are coarse, nothing slips through nor cast aside.

1. If people are not afraid to die, It is of no avail to threaten them with death.

If people live in constant fear of dying, And if breaking the law means that someone will be killed, Who will dare to break the law

there is always an official executioner. If you try to take his place. It is like trying to be a master carpenter and cutting wood. If you try to cut wood like a master carpenter, you will only hurt your hand.

1. Why are the people starving?

Rulers feast on tax while peoples lives live starve in shacks. Rulers micro manage so people cannot find their way. If only they were loved and supported they could see death then enjoy life. Why do people take death so lightly? Because their minds are over occupied with survival.

1. ​

We are born so tender, so weak. We cry to be made complete.

One death comes we freeze…Brittle, breakable with no more need.

Look at the tenderest plant filled with sap like youthful marrow shapeable bones The flowers of our speech birthing new seeds

Know then this

Can you move and shake with lifes new race? Let go and automatically you’ll keep up pace.

Softness, weakness, not knowing these are the ones that are open to life; free of strife. Rigid, knowledgeable and sure…these are the ones preparing for a fall.

1. The Tao of heaven is like bending a bow. The high are lowered and up comes the low

String adapts to size

Off their horse comes the high Who has enough?

Only the wise.

Therefore the wise work without being known Their satisfaction come in results being shown.

On to the next without making a fuss The wise are busy for all of us.

1. ​

Water is so kind and easy yet when flowing it dissolves the hardest stone.

Its equal is not known

‘Go with the Flow’ means more than you know.

The weak overcome the strong with timed incision. The supple overcome the stiff by shaping decisions. Just watch; be aware

Naturally share when the time is right

The true ruler perceives the people troubles as their own.

Humiliation, disaster, disease are all personally known.

If you can tell the truth you are fit to rule.

The true rulers are not public figures.

But mystics in deep cosmic embrace learning how to pull the strings for humanities healing.

The truth often sounds paradoxical.

79 After conflict residual resentment lingers. Only deluded people point their fingers

Don’t go outside without knowing where the fight resides.

Inside

The other may change yet purification remains.

Do your own work

Getting others to do it makes you a jerk

Heaven supports and hell causes ruin

Beneift comes to the one who is a simple good man or woman with keen discernment Learn

A small country has fewer

people.

Though there are machines that can work ten to a hundred times faster that people They are not needed. Externalization creates the hateful.

The people take death seriously and do not travel far. They are not in hot persuit of the booty from war.

Though there are many boats and carriages, people would rather walk. There is the best armor and weapons but they are not displayed

And not included in boastful talks

People enjoy their simple tasks instead of much writing.

Very little fighting

Contentment and satisfaction is their compass

When it is not present they change their tune

And burn the inner seeds of where conflicts loom.

Food is plain and healthy, moods even, clothes simple but colorful Home secure without locks. All is wonderful-

They are happy with their lives.

Though they live within the sight of their neighbors,

And crowing cocks and barking dogs are heard across the way. Still they are never in dismay.

They leave each other in peace and through yielding overcome all Even as all grow old and die they not argue.

1. Truthful words are not beautiful Beautiful words are not alwasys useful

Arguing is the passtime of diseased hearts and minds. Wise people do not have the time.

Being a knower is the height of delusion. Not knowing is wisdoms fusion.

The wise never try to hold onto things. Giving to others builds their wings.

They fly through this world untouched. All give to them because they trust. Surgeries for all but there is no pain

The Tao explained?

Work without effort.

What is Darshan and why are you utterly dependent upon it enslaved to it dictates

Quotes on Karma

The power to effectively ground- is given in the foreknowledge of the violating behavior patterns. Akuaa

Karma means material action, that which is instigated by egoistic desire. It sets into motion the law of cause and effect.

The action produces a result that binds itself to the doer until the cause is compensated by the appropriate effect, whether forthcoming immediately or carried over from one life to another. The habits you cultivated in past lives have substantially created your physical, mental, and emotional makeup in this life.

You have forgotten those habits, but they have not forgotten you. Out of the crowded centuries of your experiences, your karma follows you. And whenever you are reborn, that karma, consisting of all your past thoughts and actions and habits, creates the kind of physical form you will have—not only your appearance, but your personality traits. It is these individually created past-life patterns that make one person different from another, and account for the great variety of human faces and characteristics. The very fact that you are a woman or a man was determined by your self-chosen tendencies in previous lives.

(dr) Karma is the law of action or cosmic justice, based upon cause and effect. Your every act, good or bad, has a specific effect on your life. The effects of actions in this life remain lodged in the subconsciousness; those brought over from past existences are hidden in the superconsciousness, ready like seeds to germinate under the influence of a suitable environment. Karma decrees that as one sows, so must he inevitably reap. (os) Before you act, you have freedom, but after you act, the effect of that action will follow you whether you want it to or not. That is the law of karma.

You alone are responsible for yourself. No one else may answer for your deeds when the final reckoning comes. You work in the world – in the sphere where your karma, your own past activity, has placed you – can be performed only by one person: yourself. Your failure or sickness or other troubles started with unwise actions in past lives, and the effects of those causes have been brewing within, waiting for the right time to bubble over. Disease, health; failure, success; inequalities, equality; early death, long life—all these are outgrowths of the seeds of actions we have sown in the past. They cause us to come into this world with varying degrees of goodness or evil within us.

So even though God made us in His image, no two people are alike; each has used his God-given free choice to make something different of himself. This is why some people suffer for the slightest reason. Others become angry at the least provocation. And there are those who eat endlessly without any self-control. Did God make them that way? No. Each person has made himself the way he is. There would be no justice in this world if God had arbitrarily made us the way we are. I sometimes think God must be watching in amazement this big zoo of human beings here, blaming Him because they have a

headache or a stomachache, or are always getting into trouble.

Don’t blame God or anyone else if you are suffering from disease, financial problems, emotional upsets. You created the cause of the problem in the past and must make a greater determination to uproot it now. (dr) A man takes birth in a certain family, a particular social and national environment, owning to specific causes—his own past actions. Therefore man is the architect of his own destiny.

One can almost predict what he will be in his next life by analyzing his dominant interests and habits in this one. (me)

Since all effects or seeds of our past actions, our karma, can be destroyed by roasting them in the fire of meditation, concentration, the light of superconsciousness, and right actions, there is no such thing as fate. You make your own destiny. God has given you independence, and you are free to shut out His power or let it in.

(os) When a true yogi performs an action, karmically it is like writing on water. No mark remains. There may be a million years of actions of past lives pursuing you. That is why an ordinary individual finds himself so helpless to destroy the binding effects of his karma. He feels hopelessly bound by those invisible chains—influences resulting from all the actions he chose to perform in past lives, through free will or through prevailing influences. (jt) Accumulated bad mass karma precipitates wars, diseases, poverty, devastating earthquakes, and other such calamities. During times of prevalent negative vibratory influences, the individual must thus contend not only with his personal karma, but also with the mass karma affecting the planet on which he lives. (bg) In addition to your karma from the past, what are the influences on your present life? World civilization is one of them. In whatever era a man is born, he is influenced by the civilization of that age. If one is born in the eighth century, he is influenced by that century. You are all dressing, for example, according to the present civilization. (jt) God is not your judge; you are your own judge. If you act wrongly, you are going to punish yourself. If you act rightly, you will free yourself. That is the justice of the law of karma. You are dictated to neither by God nor His angels, but by the law of action: What you sow, you reap. (jt) What you sow, you reap Anything you hate, you attract to yourself that you may learn to overcome that prejudice. That is the law. Refuse to be bound by karma; it is an old superstition of the ignorant to believe you cannot change your destiny. (jt) Deny karma. Too many people misinterpret the meaning of karma, adopting a fatalistic attitude. You do not have to accept karma. (os) Trials do not come to destroy you, but to help you appreciate God better. God does not send those trials. They are of your own making—the effects of conscious or unconscious actions in the past, somewhere, sometime. You must blame yourself for these; but do not, as a result, allow yourself to develop an inferiority complex. All you have to do to overcome your trials is to resurrect your consciousness from the environment of spiritual ignorance. (jt) When you realize yourself as a child of God, what karma have you? God has no karma. And you have none, when you know you are His child. Every day you should affirm, “I am not a mortal being; I am not the body. I am a child of God.” Persons who pass their

lifetime satisfying the body and gratifying the ego, unaware of the Divine Image in themselves, amass earthly karma or sins. When they die with those unresolved karmic consequences and with unfulfilled earthly desires, they must reincarnate again and again to resolve all mortal entanglements. (sc) —
