The Yoke of Thought

| The Tao Chapter 65 – My Fifth Interpretation|

Learn how not to know. That is, let go of knowing so you can grow. The old ways of thinking do not always serve you.

Thoughts uncluttered by decay make way for simplicity and expansion.

Hear your words. Are they too many?

Pay attention to your thoughts. Have they lived their days?

Detach from the way you believe things ought to be and release your mental burden. Then, aligning with your path becomes easier.

LIVING THE TAO: Really hear yourself in conversations. Are you justifying or proving? Do you beat others down with your way? Ultimately, you won’t get what you want. Practice today’s words. Resist your urge to prove and let go. Practice a little at a time. It does become easier…a little at a time.

In 2018 my focus was to intentionally live the Tao Te Ching. Now I continue into 2019 with my fifth reading. I share my daily interpretations hoping to inspire you to do the same.

Embrace your journey. Experience bliss. Live the Tao.
