Loyce visited for #66 and Johnny for #33 and Jay K for #29. #16 "Stillness and Integration" Being empty of mind is of the utmost importance And it is to be guarded with fervor. We have all seen states of action arise, And always beyond it returns stillness. When any state of acti...

Today I had Lo join me for #49 and Melissa for #19. Then I welcomed Leslie who wanted me to read #43 through with her. #19 "Real Education" Don't aspire to be holy or smart, You will finally find happiness. Don't inquire about morality or justice, You will finally be perfect. Don't create things in order to profit, You will finally be secure. If all that fails to inspire you...

An amazing talk today around #56 that I shared with Jay K and Marianne. Then Lo came up and chose #37 followed by Melissa and #80. #37 "Inspired Action" Tao never does anything Yet inspires everything to do. When beings maintain the action of Tao They spontaneously transform from within. When that transformation acquires a name (an identity) External forces inspire actions from desire. A...

Today Lo joined me with her roommate at the sober living space and we went over #17. Melissa joined me for #69 and I had a request to talk about inner light and did so with #52. #17 "Of Masters and Leaders" In the time of the great Masters there were no leaders. Then, those whom the people loved, led the way. After having created the position The people feared their leaders, Then they de...

Today two random numbers were selected, one for myself which was #18 and one for Lo, who is currently safe in a sober house and got #69, which made her giggle. #18 "Out of Touch with Tao" When out of touch with Tao Etiquette is observed. When etiquette cannot be abided We find excuses to make it proper. When excuses gut the family, Chaos favors the hierarchy. When all the neighbors are i...

Today I wanted to talk about receptivity and so I chose #61, JUlie joined in before picking #45. Melissa joined in and chose #56. #45 "Beware of Words with Meaning" To not define your accomplishments You will always have patience to spare. To not acknowledge your fullness You will always have space to spare. When we define something as straight, we see how crooked it is. When we define s...

Julie joined me for #10 and Melissa for #25. Then Leslie popped up and chose #35. #7 "The Wisdom of Not Having Preference" Tao is infinite It doesn't grow old or tired. Because it has no preference for itself It can always...

The last Day of Gratitude Week on NoomVibe and I kicked it all off with #7. and then was joined by Susan for #48 and Melissa for #73. What a great talk today! #7 "The Wisdom of Not Having Preference" Tao is infinite It doesn't grow old or tired. Because it has no preference for itself It can always persist. The Master puts herself last And always finds herself first. By being detache...

Today all the 8s came out I started with $58, Jay K selected 38, and Mark asked for a random number and received #28. #28 "Knowing There's Depth in the Shallow" Know the world through the masculine But access your power through the feminine: In this way, you will be open to receive. If you can receive then your actions will support, They will never be forced, and you will be innocent...

Today I and Jay K picked #50 after WanderingFool chose #6. #6 "The Great Feminine" Everything is born from the feminine, Even Heaven and Earth. The Feminine that births is a Mother, She nourishes and supports without possessing. Despite your awareness of it You are using it right now. #50 "Awareness of Death" Every being is entrusted with life for a time However, it is only a p...

I talked a lot and read over#75 until Julie joined me for #32. #32 "It is Not What You Can See" So subtle is Tao it has never been seen And yet nothing that can be seen is without it. When beings can remain centered in Tao All that they perceive is in harmony. As that harmony inspires actions, Those actions will have names, Know that those names are provisional. If those actions inspire institutio...

Today we really dove into #61 and, for Hernan, #52 both from the aspect of being aware of the outcomes our actions birth. #52 "Like Tao so too You" All things issue from Tao, it is their mother Then, in their own time, they return to Tao. Like Tao, so too you act in the world of manifestation. When you recognize you are the mother of your experience You can identify the children your act...

Jay Kay kicked us off wtih #1 and Julie and Karim joined with #22 and #73 respectively. Paula came up and continues with #1 and the Melissa asked for #44 and Loice #43. #1 "Expressing Tao" Words are particular, They cannot express Tao. To have a name is to be limi...

Today we celebrate the culmination of a couple things I stare with #12, Max jione with #35 and Jay K with #50. #12 "The Senses" Colors blind the eyes of men. Sounds deafen the ears of men. Flavors dull the tongues of men. Thoughts will lead a mind to turmoil. Desires and greed will lead a life to turmoil. Therefore, the Master satisfies her inner vision Allowing external cravings to come...

Julie #45, Melissa #67, and finallyJay K chose #8. #1 "Expressing Tao" Words are particular, They cannot express Tao.

As it relates to what is perceptible (cells) Everything is mostly void. As the origin of everything It is hidden within every particular thing. The Master knows it is even the source of God, And...

Today I spoke with Mlissa about #56 and Marianne about #73. #56 "Learn to be Silent" Those who know, aren't drawn to speak Those who don't know, are compelled to. Can you close your senses and your mouth? Can you be guided by the empty void? From there, meditate in silence, Blunt your sarcasm and wit, Simplify your struggles, Shade your brilliance. Be at one with the dust, This i...

Today I covered #80 pretty extensivly and then Melissa joined me to talk about the Mystery of the Process #27. Marianne joined me for #55. #27 "The Mystery of the Process" Although a good traveler may have plans They are not rigid, nor is the outcome. Although a good artist creates, The creations are arrived at through intuition. Although a good scientist observes It is done for the firs...

Lo then joined me for #36 Melissa chose #72 then Jay K joined me for #2. #2 "Identifying the Manifestation" Opposites exist amongst the particular. Identifying the beautiful creates the ugly.
