Verse One
Through the inspirations of my spiritual mentor Dr. Wayne Dyer, I have undertaken this year to study, (as he did in 2006), the teachings of the eighty-one verses of the "Tao Te Ching." Legend says that the "Tao" (pronounced "Dao") was written by the prophet "Lao-tzu" some five hundred years before the birth of Christ. The interpretation of the words Tao is "The Way" Te is "The Shape and Power" and Ching is "The Book." It has been called "one of the profoundest books in the world's philosophy." For my references I have been studying the interpretations and teachings of Dr. Dyer from his book "Change Your Thoughts - Change Your life." In the spirit of EagleEye, here is my inspired (poetic) interpretation of Verse One.
-Allowing-
"Allowing the way is the understanding of of letting go... and letting Be.
A beautiful mystery REVEALED; before our awakened eyes.
Effortless. Desireless; yet conscious, to the senses that reveal
the Secrets of the Tao.
the Secrets of the Tao.
Name it. Allow it. Do not name it. Allow it. Live it. Permit it... and Allow it:
For the way of the universe is to trust in it's mysterious unveiling.
Like a cloak of darkness lifting, to a Brilliant Light.
Listen to it's silent beauty and bask in all that you sense, feel, and love.
Like a cloak of darkness lifting, to a Brilliant Light.
Listen to it's silent beauty and bask in all that you sense, feel, and love.
Allowing, and accepting all that is creation...and unconditional.
In love and peace from the very heart of
In love and peace from the very heart of
Your Source."
Live. Inspired.
