Perception and Experience

| The Tao Chapter 13 – My Fourth Interpretation|

Keep your heart and mind firmly rooted in the truth of who you are, regardless of where you find yourself on your journey.

If you are on your way up, stay grounded in your true nature. If you perceive you’ve fallen or are stuck, focus on what never leaves—your internal power.

Your connection to your internal power makes both hope and fear unnecessary. There is no need to wish; you know that because of who you are, all things eventually flow in your favor. Just keep moving forward.

Right vision helps you surrender to life’s flow with the knowing that how you choose to perceive internally is what you will perceive externally.

So again, keep your feelings and thoughts firmly rooted in the truth of your nature.

LIVING THE TAO: Today, I invite you to reflect on the first, second and third interpretations along with this fourth and ask, are there any shifts you are prepared to make today in relation to aligning with the art of living as shared in the Tao?

My 2018 focus is to intentionally live the Tao Te Ching. This is my fourth reading of Stephen Mitchell’s translation. I share my daily interpretations hoping to inspire you to do the same.

Embrace your journey. Experience bliss. Live the Tao.
