Tao #26 ~
Centered
Ф
Heavy is the root of light
the faster we go,
we slow down time
standing still
we are the masters of speed
Thus the wise travel
all day without leaving their vehicles
the scenery is accepted
without undue excitement
How could a commander
separate from the troops
or value his life above the country's well being?
trivial pursuits destroy good roots
haste makes waste and loses control

Writers referenced: Lau, Feng - English, Beck, Mitchell
Einstein's Theory of Relativity describes the aspect of our reality in which as we approach the speed of light, time slows down. As we develop and do our spiritual practices, we find that as we focus upon the moment and slow down, we get more done. We open our hearts to life and love and embrace living with joy and delight and yet by being centered we are able to be one with everything without being possessed by it. This enables us to truly embody Nash's Nobel Prize winning truth of being centered in compassion for ourselves and all life and thus acting for highest good. In this we are able to see past the superficial and live in the eternal.
