“If you can't explain it to a six year old, you don't understand it yourself.”

― Albert Einstein

Iron rusts from disuse; water loses its purity from stagnation... even so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind.

MICROCOSMOS FULL we are gods to these creatures

Tao Te Ching                72
 
When men lack a sense of awe, there will be disaster.

Do not intrude in their homes.
Do not harrass them at work.
If you do not interfere, they will not weary of you.

Therefore the sage knows himself but makes no show,
Has self-respect but is not arrogant.
He lets go of that and chooses this.

“The world is like a ride in an amusement park. 

And when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. 

And the ride goes up and down and round and round. 

It has thrills and chills and it's very brightly coloured and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while. 

Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question: "Is this real, or is this just a ride?" 

And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, "Hey, don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride." 

And we kill those people.”

 Bill Hicks

Lakota

Lakota spirituality is based on the circle. The Lakota saw the journey of life and death as a circular process. They also interacted with one another in a circular fashion, rather than in a struggle for domination.

The Lakota even used the circle’s symbolism in their architecture. Their houses (which are known as tipis) had circular foundations.

"Everything the Power does, it does in a circle." Lakota Proverb

"Creation is continuous." Lakota Proverb

"I am standing at the Earth’s center." Lakota Proverb

"A man’s life is a circle from childhood to childhood, and thus it is in everything where the power moves." Black Elk

"The power of the world always works in circles." Black Elk

"The center of the universe is everywhere." Black Elk

The Lakota Indians


This is very similar to the teachings in the Tao

When one has the feeling of dislike for evil, when one feels tranquil, one finds pleasure in listening to good teachings; when one has these feelings and appreciates them, one is free of fear.
Buddha

Genius

From the Tao Te Ching

18

When the great Tao is forgotten,
Kindness and morality arise.
When wisdom and intelligence are born,
The great pretence begins.

When there is no peace within the family,
Filial piety and devotion arise.
When the country is confused and in chaos,
Loyal ministers appear.

Alan Watts: YHWH - "I AM THAT I AM"

Don't Struggle To Make it - The Empowered Human: 360 Senses!

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

FLOW

From the Tao Te Ching

Return is the movement of the way;

yielding is the function of the Way.

All things in the world are born of being;

being is born of non-being
