This book was released on 2019-01-09 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How many self-help or life-strategy books do you know have been around for thousands of years and are still revered by millions of people today? I believe there are two such books: the Bible and the Tao Te Ching. This Christian Edition of the Tao Te Ching is an 81-day journey into the limitless power of your spirit that will allow you to find true happiness and abundance. It reveals profound spiritual principles that, when put into practice, can set you on your own greatness: finding, orienting yourself toward and then following the flow of God's Spirit in your life, trusting it to guide your actions and amplify your efforts so that you can achieve your best possible life. Featuring a text of the Tao Te Ching that's infused with language from the Bible to clarify themes common to both books, this volume also includes annotations to specific Bible verses that will help you: * Discern the mystic wisdom contained in God's Word * Discover how to tap into the flow of God's energy in your life to accomplish your goals * Learn how to live in the present moment without undue concern about the future * Connect to the power of God's Spirit to create or change any aspect of your life. Though often overlooked by the world at large, the subtle, powerful, and often paradoxical truths revealed in this volume will allow all readers--Christian and non-Christian alike--to find their own Greatness.This Christian Edition of the Tao Te Ching is like a road map helping us realize we are Built For Greatness. On this path, "greatness" isn't about putting forth maximum effort to achieve fame, financial success or other such trappings that the world commonly venerates. Rather, Built For Greatness is about finding, orienting yourself toward and then following the flow of energy and God's Spirit in your life, trusting it both to guide your actions and to amplify your efforts to achieve your best possible life. This might include wealth and other material blessings; or it might not. Everyone's path is different. The key is to find your journey and follow it, trusting it to take you where it will. If you take care of the journey, the destination will take care of itself. How to read this book? Avoid the temptation to rush through this book. Instead, try reading just one chapter every day in a kind of 81-day experiment. At the end of your 81 days and the 81 chapters, take a spiritual inventory. How have your thoughts changed over the last eleven weeks? What are you doing differently now? Do you have an increased sense of peace and stillness in your life? As you continue to explore these new ideas, you very well might find yourself repeating this 81-day experiment. The principles are ever more important today, teaching us to keep our priorities clear so we can follow the Spirit of God and exercise leadership with God's amazing grace. In the wake of a Reformation dividing Christianity 500 years ago, this Christian version of the Tao Te Ching will be vital as a unifying spiritual Reformation for now and the future.

Download or read book Tao Te Ching the Way of the Power written by Len Losik Ph D and published by Sanlen Publishing. This book was released on 2016-07-31 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Tao Te Ching The Way of the Power is referred to as the Laozi and is one of only several ancient Chinese texts in existence. The text's true authorship and date of writing is unknown, although the oldest excavated copy dates back to the late 4th century BC, around the time of Adam and eve was in the Garden of Eden, Cain kills his brother Abel and the bronze age provides better weapons for men to kill each other. The Way of the Power was reduced to 34 chapters from 81 by the author. It's an example of Asian culture's way it stored and passed on Asian wisdom and knowledge, but updated using 21st century principles of modern psychology, Physics, Engineering and Roman Catholic and Protestant Christian religious theology for easier reading versus the way in which the West developed and used libraries and books on science, philosophy, architecture etc during the same time to do the same. The ideas are condensed to singular; the style is poetic. The rhetorical style now combines short, declarative statements and "possible" intentional contradictions for the reader to exercise their reasoning and deduction skills. The first lines create memorable phrases, while the second forces the reader to create their own understanding of the possible contradictions. The Tao Te Ching The Way of Power is one of just a few fundamental text for Taoist, Legalists, Confucius, Daosts and Buddhist followers to study as the Western Christian Bible is studied, which when it was first introduced, was interpreted through the Daoist words and concepts. The author includes many original Chinese art works including poetry, paintings, calligraphy and gardeners, and many artists used the Tao Te Ching for inspiration. Its influence spread widely outside Asia as well, and is among the most translated text in world literature due to the lack of ancient texts from Asian cultures. The Wade-Giles romanization for the "Tao Te Ching" dates back to early English transliterations in the late 19th century; its influence can be seen in words and phrases that are well established in English. The passages are purposefully ambiguous, and topics range from political advice for rulers to practical wisdom for everyday people. Because the variety of interpretation is limitless, not only for different people but for the same person over time, readers should avoid making claims of objectivity or definability. Its for those serious readers who want to have a mind expanding experience, one that will broadens one's ability to understand the less demanding Western texts while increasing one's wisdom and knowledge of the universe around us.

Download or read book Shifting into Tao written by Losita Bhattacharya and published by BalboaPress. This book was released on 2012-06-01 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are you seeking – love, happiness, peace, abundance? We are all seeking a better life for ourselves. However, all outward seeking is a reflection of something far more important – the inner seeking of our soul. Our soul has an inner purpose that is common to every human being on the planet. This purpose has been given several names – the shift, spiritual change, awakening, enlightenment, unity consciousness and ascension. Knowingly or unknowingly, our inner spirit is on an expedition towards reconnecting with the universal consciousness or God-consciousness through awakening to the truth of its inner nature. When we consciously participate in this shift, we expedite this re-connection. The shift is a simple process, if we allow change to flow through us and if we are able to trust our heart. In Shifting to Tao in 8 Months, 81 Verses, 81 Simple Lessons, Losita Bhattacharya recounts her own spiritual journey that created a shift in her thoughts, her consciousness and her view of life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Tao Te Ching is easily one of the most cherished and beloved spiritual works in existence. It is a short, to the point, truly non-denominational work that has been translated into English more times than any other work but the Christian Bible. It is considered by many to be a living treasure. The teachings of the Tao Te Ching (pronounced Dow Deh Jing) are based on the works of Lao Tzu, an ancient Chinese philosopher who recorded, as best he could, his teachings into eighty-one brief, concise chapters, creating a treatise many consider to be nothing short of a definitive manual on the art of successful living. Lao Tzu, in his work, was able to address and dissect the essential, core questions and dilemmas and dramas of life that we all face, and then guide us through them to a life of understanding, cooperation, compassion and inner peace. The Tao Te Ching is about wisdom in action. Its teachings are as if a balm for the

Download or read book The Way of the Tao Living an Authentic Life written by Dennis M. Waller and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-04-30 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A treatise and interpretation of Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching by Dennis M Waller. The Tao is an ancient philosophy of living in the natural world. It shows the way of how to get back to being your Authentic Self, your Spiritual Self. The Tao has the power to help you reclaim your life from the temporal ego identity that is imprisoning you. With the Tao you can discover your Authentic Identity by getting back to the being-ness and oneness of living in the Divine Consciousness. Through discovering these truths we can become the creators of the universe instead of the passive observers we have been. We can learn to live life in the infinity of the now verses living in the clutches of the Ego. The Tao shows us how to grow detached from the ego identity by becoming in direct contact with our true intent and motives that was meant for us. When we do, we begin to see ourselves as we truly are. It is being authentic that we become reconnected to the divine source. What is the Way of the Tao? It is the way things are in their own natural progression of life and death. The way of intelligent design as shown in nature, this is the way of the Tao. It is the way without dogmas, formalities or religion. To live in the Tao is to live in peace and harmony. The Tao gives you the knowledge of being one with the higher realm of divine consciousness and to experience the innerconnectiveness to all living things. It is to have the awareness of being in this world while knowing that you are not part of it because you are more than all of this. You are one and 10,000 things at the same moment. You are the song that the bird sings, the breeze blowing through the trees, the fish swimming in a brook, the warmth of the sun shining from above, the coolness of the earth below your feet, you are life and death, all at once and not at all. There is no separation in the Divine Oneness. The Tao contains the power to liberate you from the ego-imposed prison of the dualistic world. Living in the Tao can bring a deep inner peace and a reconnection to the divine source. The wisdom of the Tao is in a practical sense, a way to live life with the clarity of knowing the universal truth. When you are living in the Tao, you will see resistance and opposition fade away. Conflict and stress will become distant memories. The issues of life become irrelevant or will simply disappear once you start living your authentic self with the Tao. The Tao shows how to transcend all those insurmountable obstacles that the ego has created. There is another level of existence that is the real, true, genuine substance of who you are. This is the authentic self. The authentic self is the real you that can be found at your absolute core. It is the part of you not defined by your job, function, nationality, religion, race or role in life. It is the composite of all your skills, talents and wisdom. It is all of the things that are uniquely yours and need expression, rather than what you believe you are supposed to be and do. The choice we need to make is whether to trust in our own nature, to be of a pure heart and mind or to live in a world where we are trying to control everything. We have seen that going against our nature provides no comfort or satisfaction for our souls. For authentic satisfaction, for true peace, we must learn to realize who we are and where we came from. The truth is all around us. You can hear the voice of god in the laughter of children at play and in the songs of the birds. You can see God in all his glory throughout all of nature. It is all around us to see and experience. Remember you are part of this universe and here to experience it. Be your Authentic Self and be one with it all. To live in the Tao and live your purpose is to live life to the fullest.

Download or read book The Activist s Tao Te Ching written by William Martin and published by New World Library. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “[An] inspiration.” — Alice Walker, The New York Times Book Review Change and anger are in the air. Looking for answers to today’s wrenching challenges, William Martin turns to the Tao Te Ching and finds that while Taoism is known for its quiet, enigmatic wisdom, the Tao can also have the cleansing force of a rushing river. Through his interpretation of this ancient Chinese text, Martin elucidates revolutionary messages condemning power-seeking and greed. He emphasizes that humans have a “natural virtue” that can help them heal the planet; shows how Taoism’s simplicity can be subversive and its flexibility a potent force; and reassures that “when injustice is the rule, justice always lies in wait.” Provocative and stirring, Martin’s Tao flows within and through those who ride the waves of anger and frustration and gently guides them to true freedom. “We have learned the secret of transformation: Injustice feeds our determination. Hate increases our love. Wounds bring forth our healing, and fear uncovers our courage and serenity.” — from The Activist’s Tao Te Ching
