&lt;p&gt;      thanks Sanmugan for your comment&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe we all go through these times in our lives where we need to pause and just observe and be one with nature, the more often we become &amp;quot;busy&amp;quot; the more often we need to pause and centre ourselves.&amp;nbsp; We then come back into alignment with our divine purpose.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      Tao Te Ching like fingers pointing at the moon&lt;br /&gt;discribes the Way of being offering only clues &lt;br /&gt;to be interputed in anyway along our unique&lt;br /&gt;and individual paths of development... When&lt;br /&gt;in actuallity the truth of it to often escapes us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Emulating a spring emerging from a mountain&lt;br /&gt;flowing far from a deep source Celestial Unity&lt;br /&gt;nurtured in darkness with caring and warmth&lt;br /&gt;cultivating both inside and outside, original &lt;br /&gt;generative energy giving birth to all beings&lt;br /&gt;celestial primal virture arising through &lt;br /&gt;the inward development of character&lt;br /&gt;integrated with the celestial design&lt;br /&gt;unconsciously following the laws of God&lt;br /&gt;this happens spontaniously without forced&lt;br /&gt;effort as easily as turning over the palm &lt;br /&gt;of one&amp;#39;s hand eternally free of the inimical &lt;br /&gt;temporally conditioned human mentality&lt;br /&gt;from false darkness return to the true&lt;br /&gt;darkness of innocence returning&lt;br /&gt;recalcitrant yin to submission&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;The path of noncontrivance nurtures the darkness of reality;&lt;br /&gt;the path of striving transforms the darkness of falsehood.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Nurturing reality, transforming falsehood, striving and nonstriving,&lt;br /&gt;are to be used according to the time and situation, as appropriate.&lt;br /&gt;One may proceed from striving and wind up nonstriving, or one &lt;br /&gt;may succeed in striving by way of nonstriving. In either case the&lt;br /&gt;ultimate accomplishment is to use the highest good, without evil,&lt;br /&gt;wholly integrated with natural principle, to go back to the origin,&lt;br /&gt;return to the fundamental, and revert to innocence. Those who&lt;br /&gt;travel the path of darkness must do so in the correct way.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Taoist I-Ching&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are many reasons why to begin a spiritual practice.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Perhaps the methods are not so important as the result&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;and yet if our only aim is to become all powerful masters&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;of reality I fear we miss the most essential point, humility&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;is lost, harmony disrupted and balance goes down the&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;tubes. Brief and momentary awakenings into higher &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;consciousness are easy enough to attain, yet next to&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;impossible to sustain. That is why we are advised to seek&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;a middle way, where it is said all things become possible&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;without trying, without doing, without striving or effort.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This state of equanimity is known to some, for want of&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;a better term, as the mind of Tao.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A deep and abiding spiritual practice will bare fruit, however&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;should we not first question our primary objective, examine&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;first our own inner landscape before presuming that we&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;are somehow in control of this mundane reality. Or is it&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;the Tao moves through us if only we allow it - at ease&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;in our own mind?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;When emotions have not yet emerged, that is called balance; &lt;br /&gt;when they are active yet all in proportion, that is called harmony.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Book of Balance and Harmony&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      &lt;p&gt;Greetings !!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My name is Jay and I am a Sound Healer/Reiki Master. I have been touring the western United States for several years with my singing crystal bowls, tibetan bowls, sound infused aromatherapy mists, morphing healing lights, Dolphin Spirit and Angel Choirs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am preparing to embark upon a world tour and have included my video info-mercial for your viewing pleasure. If you are moved by this, please forward it to friends. I am also looking for venues,&amp;nbsp;throughout the USA,&amp;nbsp;to do performances, homes for private performances and other places to give private sound healing sessions. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;My video link &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;MyVideo Info-Mercial &lt;a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJtkL9bn9KE" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJtkL9bn9KE&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I send my love your way&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; JAY&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      &lt;br /&gt;I like the fact that you have included several various&lt;br /&gt;tranlations, although&amp;nbsp; I would say the Stephen Mitchell&lt;br /&gt;version speaks best&amp;nbsp;to me, the comparisons can be&lt;br /&gt;quite instructive. Isin&amp;#39;t it strange that we would spend&lt;br /&gt;our&amp;nbsp;entire life just for this one moment of awakening:&lt;br /&gt;To return to the begining by operating in reverse.&lt;br /&gt;And yet we carry with us all our expectations of some&lt;br /&gt;final destination when all along it is the journey&lt;br /&gt;which matters most. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      &lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Do your work and then step back.&lt;br /&gt;The only path to serenity.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes this is true as long as we are able &lt;br /&gt;to get out of our own way and allow&lt;br /&gt;spirit to flow through us. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And yet we are constantly managing content assuming&lt;br /&gt;that this is who we are... Much talk merely adds to the&lt;br /&gt;problem. It is only by finding the truth within our own&lt;br /&gt;experience that we know what it means to be open&lt;br /&gt;and free in this moment. It is said that Feelings and&lt;br /&gt;Essence are the key to harmony and balance.&lt;br /&gt;Feelings represent receptivity and rectitude&lt;br /&gt;in stillness whereas Essence is the presence&lt;br /&gt;of benevolence and compassion in action... &lt;/p&gt;
