If you understand others you are smart.
If you understand yourself you are illuminated.
If you overcome others you are powerful.
If you overcome yourself you have strength.
If you know how to be satisfied you are rich.
If you can act with vigor, you have a will.
If you don't lose your objectives you can be long-lasting.
If you die without loss, you are eternal.”
― Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching

The New Direction  

Through vanishing old road,
Through hail-like dust storm,
It stings and scratches,
Stuffy, I cannot breathe.

Here once walked my ancestors,
I was told by the old ones,
One can dig at the very spot,
And find forgotten implements.

Wasting no time I urged on,
Where I'd stop I knew not,
Startled I listened to the wind,
It whistled, screamed, cried,<...

"The Tao that can be described
is not the eternal Tao.
The name that can be spoken
is not the eternal Name.
The nameless is the boundary of Heaven and Earth.
The named is the mother of creation.
Freed from desire, you can see the hidden mystery.
By having desire, you can only see what is visibly real.
Yet mystery and reality
emerge from the same source.
This source is called darkness.

"Meditate upon the heart of the mother as the glow of your awareness,
When you melt and mingle together,
Taste that expanse of nonduality.
There remain." YeShe

This Week: Spring + Fall energy welcomes us to get clear. Simplify. Listen. Rest in the Heart of the Cosmic Mother. Deep in the VOID of all that is and is not.

“Be totally empty,
embrace the tranquility of peace.
Watch the workings of all creation,
observe how endings become beginnings.  
All creatures in the universe
return to the point where they began.
Returning to the source is tranquility,
meaning submitting to what is and what is to be.”
