โ†” awakening of my spirit โ†”

Posted: Tue, Feb 15, 2005 05:28:15 AM

i guess it is time to move forward with my work because i find myself cringing at the metaphors presented in the daily readings. i do not disagree with this morning's reading on any point, i just find myself thinking 'there they go again!' and missing the point.
the point of the reading as i see it is, that i cannot have my spirit awaken to the world around me if i choose tro ignore the path before me. and yes the steps are that path. and yes as a result of the steps that i have lived my spirit was been awakened to a whole new world of possibilities. now my job is to carry my new found understanding out into the world, by carrying the message to the addict who still suffers and practicing these principles in all my affairs. the other understanding i have reached is that i NEED to continue the process or my spirit will slip back into the near death state it was in when i got here.
so what i guess i NEED to do is move forward and do what is in front of me.

Tao Te Ching

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯

The Tao Teh King, or The Tao and Its Characteristics
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge

Book 2

2) How do I know that it is so? By these facts:--In the kingdom the
multiplication of prohibitive enactments increases the poverty of
the people; the more implements to add to their profit that the people
have, the greater disorder is there in the state and clan; the more
acts of crafty dexterity that men possess, the more do strange contrivances
appear; the more display there is of legislation, the more thieves
and robbers there are.
