Enlightenment through the Tao

Stay in touch with your original nature.  By getting to know yourself better and better each day, you can become more trusting of your own intuition.  By trusting one's own intuition inevitabley allows trust of other's intuition.

It is impossible, with a person who ha gained harmony, to be indifferent or intimate, to harm him or benefit him, to disgrace him or honor him.  These seems a pretty harsh word at first thought.  But if you think about it-following Taoist philosophies allows one to separate out criticisms as well as encouragement.  Why? because one learns a sense of distance --that the judgement of others, either good or bad, are just that-judgements of others.  The Tao allows one to trust and listen and learn only one judgement-your own.

Succeed with Encouragement, not prohibitions.  Be positive about your rules-its much healthier.  Nothing is worse than walking into a room and reading a whole list of "don'ts". Instead we need to empower people to DO what is right not just avoid what is wrong.

The Tao never rejects a bad person.  Are people really bad? or do they just make some seriously poor decisions?  All people deserve love and respect.
