Tao Te Ching – Verse 53 – The great Way is easy, yet people prefer the side paths
Tao Te Ching – Verse 53
The great Way is easy,
yet people prefer the side paths.
Be aware when things are out of balance.
Stay centered within the Tao. Continue reading “Tao Te Ching – Verse 53 – The great Way is easy, yet people prefer the side paths”
Today: “Before taking any action on your situation, include everything that appears in your perception and contemplate. Allow all the elements to integrate sufficiently to form a modified perspective. Then contemplate further and repeat the process.” – From the I Ching
Before taking any action on your situation, include everything that appears in your perception and contemplate. Allow all the elements to integrate sufficiently to form a modified perspective. Then contemplate further and repeat the process.
Winds of change high in the Heavens:
Air currents carry the weather.
Dense clouds blow in from the West, but still no rain.
The Superior Person fine tunes the image he presents to the world.
He allows himself to be drawn into returning.
Good fortune.
One would like to press forward, but before going farther one sees from the example of others like oneself that this way is blocked. In such a case, if the effort to push forward is not in harmony with the time, a reasonable and resolute man will not expose himself to a personal rebuff, but will retreat with others of like mind. This brings good fortune, because he does not needlessly jeopardise himself.
Ominous roiling in the Crater Lake atop the Volcano:
When meeting an impasse, the Superior Person turns his gaze within, and views the obstacle from a new perspective.

9 – Nine. Hsiao Ch’u / Gentle Restraint
Winds of change high in the Heavens:
Air currents carry the weather.
Dense clouds blow in from the West, but still no rain.
The Superior Person fine tunes the image he presents to the world.
Small successes.
SITUATION ANALYSIS:
No matter what you do, the fruit of your labors never seems to ripen.
Your reward remains just out of reach.
Men have gone mad from such anticipation.
Don’t lose your balance lunging for the brass ring.
While the Fates continue to restrain you, go them one better and display a self-generated restraint and grace.
Look for the humor in the situation.
Nine in the second place means:
He lets himself be drawn back.
Good fortune.
He allows himself to be drawn into returning.
Good fortune.
‘The Chess Game’ – Francesco Beda (1840-1900)
One would like to press forward, but before going farther one sees from the example of others like oneself that this way is blocked. In such a case, if the effort to push forward is not in harmony with the time, a reasonable and resolute man will not expose himself to a personal rebuff, but will retreat with others of like mind. This brings good fortune, because he does not needlessly jeopardise himself.
39 – Thirty-Nine. Chien / Obstacle
Offer your opponent nothing to resist.
Let a sage guide you in this.
Good fortune lies along this course.
SITUATION ANALYSIS:
The Obstacle lies in obstinance.
An insistence on only one way of proceeding has brought things to an impasse.
You may either continue banging your head with irresistible force against this immovable object, or you might step back and survey this situation from a fresh perspective.
Which is immobile here — the obstruction or your attitude
Today: “You must understand that you are three selves. One is your body, with its desires. One is your mind, with its thoughts. And one is you, with your controlling whip.” Yogi Bhajan
“You must understand that you are three selves. One is your body, with its desires. One is your mind, with its thoughts. And one is you, with your controlling whip. Most people do not know that the mind and the self are two separate things. The mental self and the higher self are two separate things. If you cannot recognize the fight in you between these three selves, then you know absolutely nothing. But gradually you will realize this conflict within you, and you will be able to overcome that conflict so that the higher self may win.” Yogi Bhajan

Tao Te Ching – Verse 52 – In the beginning was the Tao. All things issue from it; all things return to it.
Tao Te Ching – Verse 52
In the beginning was the Tao.
All things issue from it;
all things return to it.
To find the origin,
trace back the manifestations.
When you recognize the children
and find the mother,
you will be free of sorrow.
