Your True Self

How many times has it been said that Tao abides in the fasting mind? All the Scriptures, and all of the silent sages transmissions, point a finger to the mind of Tao. Like an archer who loses himself to the moment and dreams he is an arrow hitting a target, only to awaken and see his arrow embedded in the bullseye, after a shot he didn't know he took - this is the mind of Tao. Like the crystal clarity of a suspended raindrop, the sun shining through it. Every moment another perfection - this is the mind of Tao. To receive knowledge of events before they transpire, whilst never leaving the ...

The other day, I was asked, “What is the magic of life? You need to think about this, then put your thoughts on paper and write.” So here I am, taking this advice to heart, mentally scanning and checking my emotions for a start. To me, the magic of life is each breath that you take, so you can smell the beautiful flowers or enjoy a serene lake.

When dealing with others it is necessary to display, much patience, much grace and much love. And to show dignity under all circumstances - these are virtues you can draw from above. It is not necessary to be right or wrong; it is more important knowing when to be still. Staying calm and serene in the eye of the storm, until your heart feels composed and ultimately fulfilled. If you feel it is necessary to explain, thoughts or feelings with sheer passion. Think clearly and deeply before you speak, and always act with compassion. Sometimes it is necessary just to be gracious, and have ...
