    Proof Of The Power Of The Tao!!!

    With practice anybody can do choreographed moves, or lift something heavy, be good at a video game, or whatever, but what about without practice? One of the aspects people overlook is the first line of the Tao Te Ching which clearly states that the Tao cannot be followed. This means you...

    Proof Of The Power Of The Tao!!!

    Yeah, it was just this ongoing joke with my friends that i'm this ninja. So, we decided to go out and try to emulate my friend's cheezy martial arts videos. I was pretty surprised how it came afterwards. I might make some more, but ppl are always going to be like... yeah let's see you fly...

    Proof Of The Power Of The Tao!!!

    Someone asked about training and proof of the Tao earlier. I was a bit bored so my little brother and I went out and recorded some videos with my cell phone today. Watch what I am able to do by using the principles of the tao and intuitively moving...

    Coming out about taoism

    The true Tao cannot be followed. The true Tao cannot be explained. Does a rock need say I am a rock? Be what you are. That is the true Tao.

    Old Longears Tells of his Method

    Confucius is like the intellectual in us all. No matter who he meets or what is said. He will never truly grasp the Tao.

    Personifications of Tao

    Taoist masters are part of the Tao. Zen masters are part of the Tao. All 'masters' are part of the Tao. In the Tao there are no names. ------------------------------- The Tao is as humble as a storm that destroys your home and kills your family. Which is as humble as anything really...

    Putting Taoism to the Test

    Skills involve practice. Practice means trying. Trying means a lack of competance. The Tao lacks nothing. ---------------------------------- The only natural action is to be the Tao. Cultivation assumes a lack of. The Tao is everything and nothing. There is no need to cultivate...

    Putting Taoism to the Test

    Testing the Tao is as pointless as trying to do anything. You will only accept the Tao when you completely realize this futility. -------------------------------- The Tao is the blueprint of the universe. Everything in this universe is a product from the Tao. The Tao has no physical...

    Personifications of Tao

    Anyone who claims to be a master, makes themselves an apprentice at another level. If you see the Tao, you see it in all things. Otherwise, you see only the manifestations. Can a dog or a tree be infinitely more or less insubstantial than a car or chemical plant? The Tao is simple...

    Personifications of Tao

    The Tao IS everything and nothing. The tao cannot be followed. It is not measurable - it is infinte. The natural way is THE ONLY WAY. As reality is bound by nature. You have no choice to be born or to die. You have no choice to exist. You have no choice to follow the Tao or not...

    Personifications of Tao

    If you think you see the tao 'more' or 'less' in anything, then you aren't seeing the tao.

    Personifications of Tao

    There are many stories. The less unique they are, the more real they are. Immortality is omnipresent truth. It is mortality that is an illusion. Like shadows casted by reality. Completely insubstantial. Ying and Yang are always in balance. The desire for imbalance, causes you to...

    Personifications of Tao

    Because the tao is so vast and limitless, a person of the tao would not be much of a person. They wouldn't be heroic or someone you would think worth remembering. Looking at them would be like looking out into a large open plain - nothing but open space. They would have nothing to say...

    the Way

    The Tao is reality. Reality is simple. Complexities are not real. All apparent complexities are made of simplicity. Call it the tao, zen, or whatever you wish to call reality. Giving it a name misleads the entirety of its nature. All things are beings. But to truly see and accept...

    the Way

    Effortless skill springs forth from nothingness. Without intention, actions are free to carry out themselves. Lost within indifference, unlimited virtue manifests. Remember, not acting is more powerful then acting can ever be. The greatest warrior will always be less virtuous then the...

    the Way

    Confusion. The illusion of ying and yang creates it. Reality is an infinite fractal of polaraties. The fragmented self sees the fragmented reality. The whole self sees the whole reality. Yet polaraties mirror traits in one another. So the whole self sees the fragmented self and the...

    the Way

    Yes, indifference is the key. Difficulty appears because of a lack of indifference. Do not bother with names or any other means of classification or discrimination. Look at everything as it really is: the same. Do good to all and abandon the illusion of other paths. Indifference is the...
