Direct Path Teachings

What is the **True Tao**? Is Tao merely a Chinese religion, a cultural tradition, or a philosophy from ancient China? Or does the word “Tao” point to something far deeper — a universal source beyond name, form, culture, and belief? In this introductory Tao Seeker session, we will explore the meaning of **True Tao** as the universal origin behind all existence — the nameless source described by Lao Tzu in Chapter 25 of the *Tao Te Ching*: > “There was something amorphous, coming into existence before Heaven and Earth… > I do not know its name, and I designate it by the term Dao.” Over time, the word “Tao” has often become associated with Taoism as a religion, together with its cultural practices, rituals, symbols, and traditions. While these traditions have their own value, Tao Seeker invites us to look beyond the outer form and return to the original essence that Lao Tzu was pointing towards. This session will ask: What did Lao Tzu truly mean by Tao? How is True Tao different from religious Taoism? Can Tao be understood as the same universal truth that saints, sages, Buddhas, prophets, and spiritual teachers have pointed to throughout history? What is the original intention behind spiritual teachings — worship, dependency, or awakening? Through open reflection and discussion, we will explore how True Tao may sit beyond religious and cultural boundaries, while still resonating with the deeper essence of Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Taoism, and other wisdom traditions. This is not a session about rejecting religion. Rather, it is an invitation to seek the truth behind religion, the wisdom behind scripture, and the living Tao within ourselves. Tao Seeker is a space for sincere spiritual exploration, open conversation, and personal cultivation. Whether you come from a religious background, a philosophical interest, or simply a curiosity about life, consciousness, and the source of existence, you are welcome to join us. Together, we seek beyond form, beyond culture, beyond belief — and return to the True Tao within. **There are no limits to the number of people able to join.** **https://teams.live.com/meet/9383471770838?p=ujL7j36je0RKgYiNWY**

The rhythm of a run. The fresh air. The shared effort. The way conversation just... flows. That's exactly why we created this. Kismetrix has teamed up with **Pun & Gainz** — Melbourne-based personal trainers who believe fitness is as much about community as it is about movement — for our first ever **Run Club Social** at the beautiful Albert Park Lake. This isn't a race. It isn't a gym class. It's a relaxed, social Sunday morning run for singles who want to meet real people, in real life, doing something they actually enjoy. #### **🏃 WHAT TO EXPECT** * A PT-led warm up to get you moving and feeling good before we set off * A relaxed run around Albert Park Lake (approx. 3–4 km) at your own pace * Natural pace groups form as you go — runners with runners, walkers with walkers, and everything in between * A supported walk/run option for those who prefer a gentler pace — you're in good company and you'll still see the whole lake * Everyone meets at the Boatshed Cafe at the end — this is where the morning really comes alive * Hot drink included, conversation flows naturally, no awkward formats needed * Coming solo is completely normal — most people do #### **💛 WHO THIS IS FOR** This event is for singles who: * Enjoy being active and want to meet people in a natural setting * Are curious about running or already love it — all paces genuinely welcome * Prefer real-life connection over dating apps and loud venues * Want to be part of a growing community, not just attend a one-off event * Are open to friendship, connection, or something more — without it being the whole point All adult singles welcome, across a wide range of ages. Come solo — most people do. #### **✨ ABOUT THE COLLABORATION** Pun & Gainz are Melbourne personal trainers who bring energy, expertise, and genuine warmth to every session. They believe the best workouts happen when people feel good together — and that's exactly what Kismetrix is built on. Two communities. One Sunday morning. A shared belief that showing up — in fitness and in life — is where everything begins. #### **📋 WHAT TO BRING** * Comfortable running or walking shoes * Water bottle * Sunscreen & a light layer (June mornings can be crisp) * An open, easy-going mindset 💛 #### **🎟️ [TICKETS](https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/jun-14-run-club-x-pun-gainz-move-connect-meet-at-albert-tickets-1990309261579?aff=oddtdtcreator)** 🌿 Introductory Price: $10 🌿 Introductory Last minutes Price: $20 — includes 1 standard hot beverage after the run. *This is our first Run Club Social with Pun & Gainz.

Spiritual bypassing is when your practice becomes a way of avoiding what it was meant to meet. It creates a gap between the awakening that was promised and the life that's still here. The tricky part is that it's difficult to spot. The practice still looks spiritual on the surface. You meditate. You speak about awareness and surrender. Yet the same fear, restlessness and loneliness remain untouched. **What You'll Discover:** In this talk you'll discover what spiritual bypassing actually is, how it hides inside long-term practice, and how to tell the difference between spirituality that integrates and spirituality that avoids. **Schedule** * Talk by Rajiv followed by open Q&A * Guided Meditation * Spiritual networking. Make friends with others on the spiritual path **About Rajiv** Rajiv dedicated years of his life seeking enlightenment. His pursuit for truth, reality, emptiness and self-discovery took him through the profound depths of mysticism. He meditated 14 hours a day, stayed with monks, lived in the Himalayan caves, learned from wise sages and researched every major spiritual system, including Zen, Non-Duality, Yoga, Buddhism etc. Then one momentous morning in 2005, he experienced his first shift into higher states of consciousness, an inner spiritual awakening. This was followed by days of infinite ecstasy and bliss. Finally, the years of seeking culminated and he realised his own true nature. He now shares his deep insights to help seekers progress on the path of awakening & meditation. His approach is secular, based on personal experience. You can read about his spiritual journey here — [https://innerspiritualawakening.com/rajiv-agarwal/my-journey/](https://innerspiritualawakening.com/rajiv-agarwal/my-journey/) **Venue** Kathleen Syme Library 251 Faraday Street, Carlton, VIC We will be in Multipurpose Room 1. We may take some photos to capture the moment. If you prefer not to be photographed, please let the organiser know at any time. This event is free and open to all adult seekers (18+).

**Who We are..... 🤝** Our journey to bring people together began in January of 2022. The group was started with a simple intention to gather and meet some likeminded people - connecting through the powerful act of meditation and sharing our genuine selves while sitting in a circle that represents equality, harmony and wholeness( *we believe everyone in the circle is a teacher and a student at the same time)*. And over the last 4 years of consistently coming together, we have fostered a beautiful, loving, dependable community where members from all walks of life have experienced a sacred space to sit in silence together and meditate, share their authentic selves, give presence to others and forge meaningful and long lasting connections. The Meditations are guided by Sana(co-founder and host), who is a Trained and certified meditation teacher by the Meditation Association of Australia, and has been guiding meditations for 3+ years in corporate and community settings. ✨ **Do you wish to....** * Experience a simple yet powerful meditation and breathing practice to find calm, relaxation and clarity * Connect with like-minded people in your local community and foster meaningful connections * Meet others who are passionate about growing, uplifting themselves, and supporting others * Share insights from your personal journey (or simply listen and learn) Or maybe you just want to... ☮️ **Spend your Sunday evening in a peaceful, zen space and meet new people? Bring a friend (or two!) and let’s connect.** **What’s on the evening’s flow?** * **Open meet & greet** – connect and settle in * **5 min guided meditation** to land into the space and connect within * **Sharing circle** (totally optional!) – share your thoughts or simply listen * **20-30 min guided meditation** – for relaxation and deeper connection **Where?** 📍 **250 George St, Fitzroy VIC 3065** Enter through the church gates.
