Coax Your Mind From it's Wandering!

"Step Back from Your Own Mind ... and thus understand all things". An exploration of the ancient wisdom of China revealed by the Tao te Ching. Participative classes for ten weeks presented to the Metaphysical Group. We will use the Stephen Mitchell translation. Both the clear and the mysterious guidance in the Tao te Ching will be discussed in depth. Clarity gives birth to peace. In peace we experience love.

Facilitated by Steve Marcom

Tao Te Ching (pronounced, more or less, Dow Deh Jing) can be translated as The Book of the Way.
The author's name, Lau-tzu, in Chinese means, roughly, "the Old Master" or "the Old Boy." He cared deeply about the welfare of one's fellow human beings. His book is, among other things, a treatise on the art of government, whether of a country or a child.
A good athlete can enter a state of body-awareness in which the right stroke or the right movement happens by itself, effortlessly, without any interference of the conscious will. This is a paradigm for the so-called "non-action" in the Tao Te Ching, the purest and most effective form of action.
Lao-tzu's central figure is a man or woman whose life is in perfect harmony with the way things are. This is not an idea, Mr. Mitchell comments; he has seen it. In surrendering to the Tao, in giving up all concepts, judgments, and desires, the "Master's" mind has grown naturally compassionate.
