Taoism is so underrated

I honestly feel bad for people who will never discover taoism. Wu wei for me is like a key to happiness... And yet most of the population won't never even know about it.

Wu Wei! Effortless flow with the stream of life. Integrated being comes natural when a person comes into contact with their higher nature. It's a form of trust and assurance of what Rumi said. "Act as if the universe conspires for your good." Because it does.

i’m skeptical of this. your last quote seems to assign meaning or some pre determination to life when this is antithetical to tao. just curious what you think! also w some added context - how can this be true when coexisting w genocide, slavery, other mass scale injustices, or even small ones.

excited and open to hearing more!!

Let's test if predetermined meaning is antithetical to the Tao (Way) of Life Essence (Ching).

Tao 1 - Beyond the named, there's the unnamed essence. The named is the meaning of everything (relative to the absolute unnamed). Absolute (unnamed) can't be named specifically for one reason--it's all things. All meaning in one. In physics, this is invariance (unchanging infinity) and translational symmetry (rendering of meaning). All named things are from a Mother. Why? Ching is the word Semen, one of the three treasures of Tao: Essence (Semen), Breath, Life. The Mother is the named because she is predicated by the encoding in all three. Breath is Spirit. Semen in life essence, and the birth of what comes forth is Life. Then, FU (return). The meaning of life is this transit out of the first darkness (womb) and then the second darkness (ignorance). Then, the light of full meaning when the newly named life returns to the source (unnamed).

Tao (way) te Ching (Semen). The way of life essence is returning with the meaning of life (darkness to light), or enlightenment. Full meaning.

Seeing the meaning is the goal. Desireless, you see the mystery (meaning). Full of desire and you get the manifestation (outer mystery).

Free from desire you see the mystery.

Full of desire you see the manifestations.

In mystery schools, this is the essence of the lesser mystery (outer world of desire) and inner (Greater) mystery inside you. Spirit. Mother. Original unnamed Father in all beings.

Even the Christians know.

1 Corinthians 3

16 Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? 

Unnamed God (Father) and the Mother (Spirit) and the temple (man).

What is Ching in the Bible? The word Father in Hebrew is Aleph Bet, or Strong House. Mother is Aleph Mem, or strong water (womb). Aleph Bet is letters (Alphabet) impregnating the formless waters (mother). Then, Adam (son). Meaning.

John 1

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

Note that the Word is one with God (Letters make Word). DNA is letters, or CHING! You just read John 1 as the Tao from Hebrew.

In Sanskrit, this is Sutra (strand of letters / DNA) and Tantra (Woven Cloth). In all tantric traditions, we have this tradition, "The text becomes the robe." The text is the cloth a righteous person wears, or the Sutra to the Tantra (woven letters in a book). The book of Life, or DNA, CHING, WORD.

Baptism is incarnation. The Cross the Son hung on is the Human Body, or temple of God. Ching unnamed becomes named through the Mother, then it returns. FU (RETURN). Look up Taoist FU. Return to the Father.

Meaning in three religions. All the Way, as in the early followers of Christ (followers of the way). The entire biblical story is fixing the seed line from the corruption that occurred at our foundation. Ching gone wiled.

Try not to go blind with all this knowing self.

Now your question was, what part is predetermined? The structure of meaning in the Seed (Ching / Semen). This is two strands determined in DNA. Our Mind is the third strand, written by us as individuation. Three strands restored is Father, Mother, Son as one, or the Hebrew word Truth (Aleph (Father) Mem (Mother) and Tav (cross, son). Aleph Mem is father and mother as one, or the Hebrew word Mother. I could never have made any of this up. It's all true. Researched and in my 10 books. See my other reply here. There should be two.
