Let's discuss our way of life, according to our values and our attitudes, to find out how far off the mark we are in relation to the eternal Way (ι i.e.Tao).
John Lennon's Way (ι) of Living, as told in his song "Imagine" would be as follows:
No Heaven, no Hell, and above us only sky. (Meaning no religion, shamanism, spiritualism.)
All the people (ηΎε§) living together for today. (No dwelling on the past, no planning for the future.)
No countries. (No nationalism, no territorial divisions.)
Nothing to live or die for. (No conflicts, no dreams and no wants.)
No possessions. (Public or private.)
Lennon said that his Way (ι i.e.Tao) will lead to:
No need for greed and hunger.
All the people, sharing all the world, living life in peace.
Is John Lennon's dream practicable and consistent with the teaching of the Tao Te Ching?
