As a Tao Te Ching enthusiast and practitioner of many different spiritual paths, I give thanks that there is a group such as this. I have recently been trying to just memorize the whole Tao Te Ching, hoping to find something new to get me out of my rut. Though I didn’t understand it at first, I just read it over and over and then it started presenting itself in my life. With the Tao, I had less and less need for recognition. I’m considered very “good” at my job and my ego wouldn’t let me forget it. I set out to show everyone in the world that they were not alone, everyone. The Tao offers some insight in this area: “Do you want to change the world? I do not think it can be done. The world is sacred, if you tamper with it, you will ruin it.” it says in the translation I’m reading. My thanks on this passage as it put me to my right size and reminded me that world doesn’t belong to me. Namaste
