"It has both reality and substance, but it does nothing
and has no material form.
A teacher can transmit it,
but can't guarantee its reception.
It can be found, but it can't be seen:
it is its own source, its own root."

I'm reading a book about Taoism and I feel uplifted.. Somehow. I have to keep working on this. There's just so much out there. I was waiting for my mails to load while reading this part, "The Taoists never fell into the intellectual trap of considering the opposition of body and mind, or material and spiritual, or Heaven and Earth, as being true opposites, as Western and Christian thought dangerously did." and then I saw one mail, "Sexy Christians" and that of course went to Junk.

I find some humour in that too.. Somehow. : )

One more.. "To approach something as mysterious, obscure and fugitive as Tao directly is of no use, since it will disperse and disappear in front of us. Instead we need to make a more subtle and indirect approach, spiralling towards it in the same way that it spirals all life into existence."

I like that.. ALOT.

Jo: Do you remember the time where we were in Borders looking at The Pooh book of Tao and Piglet and all or somewhere along those lines? We were SO ABSORBED in them! Do you think they still have it? I want it!
