Tao of the Day

I kicked off today with Thomas FreeMe and #69 after a little chat about a project he invited me to join. Then I was joined by Dr. M and Dr. Rao riffing about #19. Graciela chose #3 and Debra #27, which we spoke about before we unraveled my dark retreat a bit together. I wrapped up with Loyce and Roman choosing #46 and #17 respectively. #3 If you toss compliments around freely, people will waste ti...

Today was a wonderful episode with Energy Lady and I talking about #53. Then the mood shifted as Kelly joined me for #49. Loyce came up for #25 and then Julie passed me off to her sister for #16. #16 Clear your head. Stay calm. Watch as everything happens around you. Everything reverts to its original state, which was nothing. And whenever something becomes nothing, it gets right with Tao. If you...

Today was a very well rounded session starting with my selecting #51 and being joined by Dr. Rao. I brought up Souvik next and we discussed #27, the favorite verse of my buddy Andee who then joined me for #4 before Energy Lady came up to talk #11. We then ended with the trifecta of Kristen, Catherine, and Loyce for #33, #37, #32. #4 The Tao is like a well: used but never used up. It is like the et...

There is never a slouch in the Tao of the Day and today is no exception. I was joined by Marci for #66 Marc for #16 and after a long hiatus Sonya and I shared #21. #16 Empty your mind of all thoughts. Let your heart be at peace. Watch the turmoil of beings, but contemplate their return. Each separate being in the universe returns to the common source. Returning to the source is serenity. If you do...

Today was slightly different than other TotDs. It wasn't over populated, which I was grateful for. I got to bring Marci, Julie, Wendy, Loyce, and MoJoe all up to talk #41, #44, #55, #72, and #20 but each of those got a little extra treatment than I would normally give them. This was not ordinary.#20 Stop thinking, and end your problems. What difference between yes and no? What difference between s...

Today's Tao was short with a trio of amazing women, Marci, Andee, and Graciela covering #77, #3 and #2 #2 When people see some things as beautiful, other things become ugly. When people see some things as good, other things become bad. Being and non-being create each other. Difficult and easy support each other. Long and short define each other. High and low depend on each other. Before and after...

Today I cover a dozen verses of the Tao, and all of them deeply. Jose kicked us off with #14, and my beautiful old friend Andee joined me for #62, Allison followed with #51. Julie and I covered #14 a second time, and Loyce chose #37. I had the pleasure of covering #7 with Thomas and then Anne-Marie. Mpress, and Energy Lady got to dig in with me with #26, #3 and then #2 MoJoe joined me for #18 and...

Lost and then found, as the Wisdom app experienced some odd glitch this was a wonderful episode featuring a new face to Tao of the Day, George or better know on the app as Papayaw with #45, then D-A-R-Y-L joined me for #66, I chose #79 as there was a little lull before Isabelle came up for #35 and I received #16 from over the pond with my young buddy Millie and we wrapped up with Graciela and #61....

Today I had a couple fits and starts but it ended up yielding a great episode with a few deep dives as well as emotional supports. I was joined y Marc and Loyce right off the bat with #13 and then #23. Frankie and I dove well deep into an Isabella Mears translated #43. As I was thinking the day was done Kristen joined me for #7 and Kelly for #44, that unfolded to Julie joining me for the final cha...

Today I chose #5 and took a text request from Lona Currie who is new to Wisdom and chose #81. Then I was joined by Wendy, Daisy, and Kronos and we covered #77, #26, and #40. #5 The Tao doesn't take sides; it gives birth to both good and evil. The Master doesn't take sides; she welcomes both saints and sinners. The Tao is like a bellows: it is empty yet infinitely capable. The more you use it, the...

A brief Tao of the Day today with Loyce Sicily, Marcela and Wendy covering #36, #76, #64, and #51 respectively. #36 To make something small, you need to appreciate its size. To make something weak, you must recognize its strength. To get rid of something, you need to hold it tight. To take something, you must give it up entirely. This is a subtle truth. Sensitivity and weakness overcome unfeeling...

This episode, like so many Monday episodes was extensive. I started with choosing #47 before Wendy joined me for #71. Loyce and Marcella then came up to cover #59 and #13 respectively. I returned to my #47 before Jenny joined me for #2 and then Anne-Marie for #72. My buddy Julie ten came up to cover #3 followed by Rachel with a very poignant #13. MoJoe, Melody, Marc, and Energy Lady wrapped up thi...

I covered #2 and was joined by Loyce for #60. MoJoe joined me and was followed by Dr. Rao for a full exploration of #5. Then Energy Lady and Graciela came up for #75 and #33. #2 When people see some things as beautiful, other things become ugly. When people see some things as good, other things become bad. Being and non-being create each other. Difficult and easy support each other. Long and short...

Thursdays are always truncated because I have some late morning meetings but because of that we only cover 4 chapters today. I started with #23, then was joined by Joshua for #12 and Dr. Rao added to it a bit as well. Energy Lady and Graciela then joined me for #72 and #57. #12 Colors blind the eye. Sounds deafen the ear. Flavors numb the taste. Thoughts weaken the mind. Desires wither the heart....

3rd day after returning from my dark retreat and I kept it short covering only 6 verses. Loyce joined me right off the bat with #52 and I pick #16 which I needed to hear. My first visit with Marcella happened after that with #22 and then Sammie joined me for #17. I ended with Charente who picked #55 and before she was on I hosted my buddy Kelly with #43. #16 Clear your head. Stay calm. Watch as ev...

Another great Tao covering 9 different chapters today. Jose joined me first with #64, and then my buddies Wendy, Julie, and Cici, brought me to the lower numbers #6, #4, and #1. Dr. Rao came up to share a bit of his wisdom for me in hindsight of my dark retreat. A quintet of ladies then joined me starting with Energy Lady, Mpress, NamasteCity, Charente, and Loyce brought up #7 , #45, #5 , #43, and...

This was my first Tao after my Dark Retreat and it was a doozy. I kicked it off with one of my first Wisdom buddies Allison with #75 and the rest just streamed in with Loyce (#71) then Julie (#16) and Energy Lady (#41), then Graciela (#44), before my first new person who joined Wisdom while I was away Ryan (#7 ). Bella came up and chatted with me about our talking about my Dark Retreat before Rach...

This is the last Tao before my Dark Retreat in Guatemala, and it was EPIC. All my buddies come to visit starting with Julie and #44, I chose #48 and cannot recall if I finished it or not before Graciela joined me for #57. Charente, Wendy, Kelly, and Mary K came up to cover #24, #58, #4 and #22 respectively. I then hosted Loyce #51, MoJoe #77, Energy Lady #3 and wrapped up with my buddy Kathryn and...

I started off with #52 for myself and then was blessed with a visit from Samantha and we talked about #33. From there I was joined by John briefly bringing up #28 and Loyce carrying it forward to her daughter Charmaine and #4 before John came back to discuss #28 with me from his perspective. Energy Lady, Graciela, Jose, and MoJoe wrapped up the the day with #35, #22, #62, and #21. #4 How much Tao...

Today I was all alone, which was kind of the plan as I have a big day ahead of me. I covered #27 and it was a good fit for today. #27 A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent upon arriving. A good artist lets his intuition lead him wherever it wants. A good scientist has freed himself of concepts and keeps his mind open to what is. Thus the Master is available to all people and doesn't...

A wonderful day with seven guests Starting out with Joseph MoJoe who is becoming a regular on Tao of the Day and we covered #13 followed by Energy Lady and Kathryn with numbers #21 and #15. I am always happy to welcome Mina who chose #66 and followed up with the mother/daughter team of Charente and Loyce with #51 and #66. I wrapped it all up with #61 with Dr. Gooman. #13 Success is as dangerous as...

Another amazing Tao of the Day with Loyce starting us off with #24 followed by her daughter Charente #22 and then Julie with #3 I then got to welcome Joseph MoJoe for a pretty great stretch coving #81. We wrapped up with Graciela D Grant and Jose covering #11 #25 and #72. #3 If you toss compliments around freely, people will waste time trying to impress you. If you give things too much value, you'...

I had a short day today and spoke with 3 great guests Graciela and #70,Charente chose #10, and we wrapped up with #7 by MoJoe. #7 The Tao is infinite, eternal. Why is it eternal? It was never born; thus it can never die. Why is it infinite? It has no desires for itself; thus it is present for all beings. The Master stays behind; that is why she is ahead. She is detached from all things; that is wh...

I wanted to start of with #71 and only to to read it and revisit it a little bit as that was my Tao of the today. I was happy of course to have a great group of participants to share other chapters however and it started with Julie and Chrissy with #23, Dr. Rao joined me to inject some added wisdom as well followed by Energy Lady with #68. I had a new guest Rachel, who's #12 lead her to start talk...

I started this Tao very early and was alone for the most part but I got to cover #41 and it was eye opening for me to see what might be standing in the way of me giving myself permission to do things I cannot yet imagine I can do. #41 When a superior man hears of the Tao, he immediately begins to embody it. When an average man hears of the Tao, he half believes it, half doubts it. When a foolish m...
