Today I started off with the help of a Random Number Generator and got #69 after which Cici joined me for #44 and Julie came up with her daughter for #7. #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 detached from pr...

I chose #14 and then James joined me for #55 and Blossom came up #3. #3 "Inspiring Strong People" Praising the status one can achieve Will chastise those who don’t achieve it. Praising a possession that can be owned Will condemn those who don’t own it. When nothing arouses competition People will be at peace. The Master leads by not defining status or possession. She weakens the ambition...

Today I turned to the new number generator to pick #53 and then Anthony joined me for #81. After connecting Anthony to the message I connected the two chapters together in the discussion and was then joined by Jannette for #15. #15 "Ancient Tao" The Ancient Masters’ ability to comprehend the mystery Was so profound and subtle that they were misunderstood. One could only describe how they...

Today I got to do a little numerology and talk with Martha about #11 and a new relationship in her life, and then to Karen abdout #21 and a seperation she is going through. #11 Emptiness is Valuable Spokes, tire, rim, and hub all make a wheel, Yet it is the space where the axel goes that makes it worthwhile. Clay is formed into a vessel, A vessel’s function is to hold things, Thus its form include...

Today I got to speak with Mo about #77 and Julie about #8. #8 "Be Like Water" Water is humble, Always traveling to the lowest place, Nourishing, without taxing Everything along the way. In so doing, it is like Tao. The Master aims to resemble water: In thinking, she is simple. In conflict, she is yielding. In governing, she doesn’t need control. In work, she does the obvious thing. In fa...

Today I got to talk with Inman about #81 and his incarseration story after I talked in depth about #20. #20 "Stop Learning" Stop your learning, it has not been helpful. There is no difference between yes and no, Nor between good and evil. Most people would never know that, They define the manifestation as others have And foolishly give up themself in favor of that. Everyone else wants to...

Today I started with #74 and I was guided to connect that text with #51. Spring Blossom then joined me for #22. #22 "Looking Away from What You Want" To become complete Know that you’re partial. To become straight Know that you’re crooked. To become full Know that you’re empty. To be new Know that you’re worn out. He who wants it all Must know what all includes. Thus, the Master stays ce...

Today I started it off with #40 then Mary joined me and we discussed #45 after which Dr. Robert came up and addressed #43. #40 "The Movement of Tao" Tao is always returning It is also always yielding.

Today I started off by picking #6 and Trulie Julie joined me to talk about it. Then, Mary Way came up and chose #70 while dealing with some identity issues. #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. #70 &q...

Today I took a deep dive in #37 wiht Johnny. #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. Actions without identity Are free from external goals. Without desire, honoring stillne...

Today Julie joined me and we spoke about Leo's weey eye and #44. Then Theresa joined me for #29. #29 "Make the World a Better You" Do you want to make the world a better place? How arrogant you must be! The world, like you, is sacred And cannot be improved. A force of will, would ruin it. If it had a guide, it would be misled. There are times for all things, Even this, whatever it ha...

Today we had such a great conversation that flowed and related to itself over and over. It all started with Julie selecting #11 and then Mary coming up and expressing that she joins only when inspired, similar to Julie, she chose #77. After Mary praised me a bit Stephanie came up to second that and when I asked her to choose a number chose #13. Then Dr. Robert rounded it all off with #76. #11 &quo...

I spoke for 45 minutes about #33 and Kathryn then pitty joined me for #25. (lol) #25"I Call it Tao" Before the manifestation of heaven there is void It is still and has no form. Inexhaustible it reaches everywhere It is at the core of everything. Since names became important It has been called Tao. It flows among manifestation without resistance Inside, outside, conscience and subconscio...

Today I had a long conversation with Jay Kay about her journey and #15. Then Dr. Rao let us know that it was international Yoga Day. #15 "Ancient Tao" The Ancient Masters’ ability to comprehend the mystery Was so profound and subtle that they were misunderstood. One could only describe how they must have appeared. Careful as someone hearing the ice crack midway through crossing a lake; O...

I was joined by Craig today for the firts time, it turns out I upset him a few days ago but we cleared that up and he chose #75. Blossom joined me after that for #80 and Dr. Rao and Loyce came up to say hello because I had a hard stop today. #75 "There Needs to be a Purpose" People are starved for purpose because everything they do is taxed. That being so, why would they venture to do an...

Today I got to explore #63 for the full hour chosen by Yours Truely. #63 "Problems are no Problem" Be still and you will act without doing, Be still and your work will happen regularly. Be still and your senses will engage the subtle. Similarly engage a stranger as the multitude. See the majesty of mountains in a grain of sand. The Master knows greatness cannot be grasped. Remaining stil...

Today I chose #1 after an incident yesterday that triggered me. Then I spoke with Stephanie about #81. #1 "Expressing Tao" Words are particular, They cannot express Tao. To have a name is to be limited to manifestation That which is nameless is the source of manifestation. Self-referential, those who name, name themselves. Want to experience the depth of the mystery? Stop identifying. Wa...

Identifying the beautiful creates the ugly. Identifying good creates evil. Identifying the particular, separates all manifestations: Real...

Today I had a great time talking about #46 and then I was joined by Spring Blossom for #5. #5 "Impartial" Nature doesn’t care, It knows everything is more than it seems. The Master doesn’t care, She knows that as well. It is good to be empty Thus the Master embraces the void. Like a bellows she produces from emptiness. Stay centered. #46 "Knowing When to Stop" When Tao is follo...
