With good parenting and good preaching, we would be in the center of our life’s will for us, aligned with the Tao of life and being–the Tao of living, the Tao of here, now. Of time and place. And the very best of friends with Psyche and Intuition.

With good parenting and good preaching we would know that the Tao of life and being, etc., cannot be told, taught, explained, defined. It can only be known. It can only be experienced, realized, grasped, understood… It is intuitive all the way.

How would good parents and good preaching help with this? How do we know/experience what cannot be explained? By way of what can be told, explained, said: The importance of the right kind of emptiness, stillness and silence.

The right kind of emptiness is the emptiness between breaths, where there is nothing, no thinking, no feeling, no sensing, no fear, nothing.

The right kind of stillness can be achieved and maintained while moving around. We can walk with the right kind of stillness. Dance. Swim. Climb mountains…

The right kind of silence can be loud. We can play the drums. We can sing. Listen to an orchestra… We can talk and be completely at one with the silence of here, now.

In the emptiness, stillness, silence, we wait, listening, looking, watching for that which arises unbidden, un-thought, spontaneously, naturally, from the emptiness, stillness, silence to call us, compel us, urge us to realization, awareness, impulse, action, provocation… To This is the Way! This is the Path! This is the Tao at work in our life, within our own being.

Leading us to right seeing, right hearing, right knowing, right doing, right living–and place us in the center of a life that matters.

How do we know what we know when we know? Psyche Tao Intuition!

We can be aligned with Psyche, Tao, Intuition, not by trying, but by simply knowing what’s what and what needs to be done about it here, now.

How much do we know in a day that we do not know how we know?

All of the prophets knew/know things in this way, and they called their influence “God.” Lao Tzu might have called it “Tao.”

The Tao does not pick sides or play favorites, yet those who live in accord with the Tao have an easy time letting be what is and doing what needs to be done about it, in response to it, when, where and how it needs to be done–and letting that be that, without looking for profit, riches or reward. “Giving to get” is not giving at all, but just another ploy in the game of having it made.
