  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 itYou are using it right now.#50 "Awareness of Death"Every being is entrusted with life for a timeHowever, it is only a prelude to death.Some live as optimists, embracing life,Others live as pessimists, embracing death,Some even live in preservation,Passively living, advancing toward death.The Master lives aware of her appointment with death,This brings her to knowing Real Life.She cannot be harmed by rhinoceros or manHer movements flow from her being.She cannot be fooled by illusion or hallucinationHer actions flow from her being.She has freed herself of all separatenessEven the distinction between life and death.

  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 seenAnd yet nothing that can be seen is without it.When beings can remain centered in TaoAll 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 institutions to form,Know where their reach should end.Inspired actions, although they may have names,Those names needn't be taken too seriously.Tao is behind it allEven if you cannot see it.#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 anything?By being intrusive governments corral their peopleForcing them to "Make a Living," instead of simply living.People have no purpose when their purpose is appointed.Without purpose, why would they want to live?All of this is intrusive meddlingIt robs people of their lives andLines the pockets of those in authority.

  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 motherThen, 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 experienceYou can identify the children your actions birth,Loving them as your children you free yourself of sorrow.Choose to not recognize your motherhood,A victim, filled with desire and judgment,There will be no end to your turmoil.Look into the darkness and learn how to yield,Not allowing your senses to guide you,You will find peace in ever crevasse.#61 "Being Great"Being great requires the ability to be humbleSo as to receive that which is attracted with tranquility.Attraction is the most primal of expressionsTo receive that which is attracted is to know oneself.All great beings realize when they error, having realized itThey admit it and correct it to the best of their ability.The greatest beings seek out those who can help identify their faults,They consider their enemy a part of themselves that requires attention.To be centered in Tao is to nourish all related things,To not interfere or meddle in the errors of others.

  After a day where I could not do an episode due to technical things happening on the app I had a number of people join today. 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 limited to manifestationThat 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.Want to experience the shallowness of the manifestation? Differentiate.Either way no one can tell,The difference is in your experience.#22 "Looking Away from What You Want"To become completeKnow that you're partial.To become straightKnow that you're crooked.To become fullKnow that you're empty.To be newKnow that you're worn out.He who wants it allMust know what all includes.Thus, the Master stays centered in TaoAnd becomes an example for the world.Because she knows her light is forfeitPeople can see it.Because she has no point to provePeople can trust her words.Because she has no identityShe becomes a mirror for others.Because she has nothing to attainNothing can be kept from her.Thus, when it is said"To become complete know that you're partial."It is wise to heed and surrender to it.Only by living in collaboration with TaoCan one find completion.#43 "Be Silent and Learn"The flexible will outlast the ridged.The gentle will outlast the hard.Tao, which has no structure, has penetrated allEven that which has no space to enter.Through this I see that unforced action, and silence are the only path to completeness.Action, free of expectation and desire,This is the lesson of the nature of things.Listen to your nature, be silent and learn.#44 "The Influence of Excess"Fame or integrity; which of these do you focus on seeing and obtaining?Possessions or fulfillment; in which do you spend your time investing?Success or failure; of which has offered you the most growth?Under the influence you spend yourselfAccumulating only loss and regret.Fulfill your needs and be content,When you know excess is excessiveYou'll be open to receiving harmony.#73 "Nothing Falls Through"There are men who love feeling, and to feel they kill.There are men who love feeling, and to do so remain calm.Who is to say which will experience more turmoil?There is purpose in walking with death, as there is in walking with life.The inner workings of Tao can never be understood;It makes no commands, yet all things come on their own accord;It never acts; but all things act on its behalf;It is empty, yet within it lays all things and their Master Plans.Tao is a net holding all things together, connected.Its mesh is wide, but it holds so well nothing falls through.

  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 visionAllowing external cravings to come and go.#35 "The Senses Distract"Those who know Tao cannot be harmed.They removed resistance and peace remains,Even amid great pain and danger.Exciting the senses will distract people,While they see Tao as a silly waste of time.If you look for it you will see nothingIf you listen for it, you will hear nothingIf you use it, it will support you forever.#50 "Awareness of Death"Every being is entrusted with life for a timeHowever, it is only a prelude to death.Some live as optimists, embracing life,Others live as pessimists, embracing death,Some even live in preservation,Passively living, advancing toward death.The Master lives aware of her appointment with death,This brings her to knowing Real Life.She cannot be harmed by rhinoceros or manHer movements flow from her being.She cannot be fooled by illusion or hallucinationHer actions flow from her being.She has freed herself of all separatenessEven the distinction between life and death.
