81. Spiritual Paths Lau Tzu A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent onarriving . . . *Truth shows not the same face to each man* . . http://www.lightmatrix.org/Spiritual_Paths/Spiritual_Path.shtml

Provides a clear summary and synthesis of the world's great spiritual traditions and new age metaphysics as well as the classics. New thought mysticism and consciousness raising, spiritual philosophy blending with teachings of esoteric arcane wisdom helping raise universal consciousness that can lead to enlightenment. It has been said there are as many *spiritual paths* as there are people on them. It is also true that all paths lead to the mountain top . . . eventually. Some maintain the spiritual path is intensely personal and must be found alone. Others think some paths can be taught. We agree with the Eastern thought that says enabling the other to see through the illusions of life and to attain truth is the real miracle. In that spirit we offer several different paths, and links to many more. Take some time and read them. Then choose what resonates with you. Many find that bits and pieces from different paths work for them. This is called the ECLECTIC PATH and has many *New Parables.* But remember: Ram Dass : "He who runs around the mountain sampling *different paths* is not climbing."

84. The Tao As A Path 6. Wang Pi, A Translation of Lau Tzu's Tao te Ching and Wang Pi's Commentary, trans.Paul Lin (Ann Arbor Center for Chinese Studies, U of Michigan, 1977), 13. http://history.hanover.edu/hhr/hhr4-3.htm

The Tao as a Path Stephen W. Sawyer Since the sixth century BCE, Taoism has become an essential part of the Chinese mind. As the word Taoism suggests, the Tao isi key concept within this religion. The meaning of the Tao, however, has remained ambiguous- The Tao Te Ching [l] begins, "The Way [Tao] that can be spoken of is not the constant way."[2] Although the Tao is alwavs mysterious, one may gain insight into it by analyzing the concept of the Return [3], The Return is governed by a three step process known as "Keeping the One."[4] Within this process Taoists become more aware of the relationship between the cosmos and the self and eventually bridge the gap between them. As Taoists [5] proceed toward the Return, they are following the natural I order of the universe on one hand and deepening their understanding of themselves on the other. In the end, as Taoists interact with the Tao, they discover that the self and the totality of being are in fact one. Thus, through elucidating the relationship between the self and Tao, one can establish a perspective from which to understand the Tao. "Keeping The One" Each stage of "Keeping the One" has its own direction. In the first stage, Taoists are bringing their energies together in order to become whole or find the "one" within the self. Thus the Taoists eliminate the imbalances within the self and allow the self to become on organic whole which can interact freelv with its environment.

Site Map A brief overview Call to Servant-Leadership ... Home Servant-Leader Associates Helping to discover and develop the spirit which defines and motivates persons and institutions The Wisdom of Lao Tzu Of Being and Doing Lao Tzu, a Chinese philosopher and reputed founder of Daoism was born somewhere between 490 and 570 BC. According to tradition, he is the author of the Daodejing (Tao-te Ching) (Classic of the Way and Its Virtue), a philosophical treatise. By far the most translated Chinese literary work; this small book has had an enormous influence on Chinese thought and culture. It also has had a significant impact on Western culture in recent years. Servant-leadership starts with being; who we are and are called to be. It is further expressed in doing; how, with God's help and guidance, we might be co-creators of the world. Lau Tzu, in the Tao wrote extensively and paradoxically about being and doing. From the Tao, I offer you the following verse on leadership emanating from a servant disposition. (Translation by Victor Mair.)

Tradition says he was conceived of a shooting star, carried in his mother's womb for 82 years ands was born a wise old man around 604 B.C. His name means "Old Sage" or "Great Old Master" in Chinese. Legends says he worked as a clerk in the imperial archives and was a friend to Confucius. Towards the end of this life, disillusioned with humankind, Lao Tzu is said to have journeyed west towards what is now Tibet to live out the remainder of his life in solitude with nature. He was stopped by a guard at the border of China and asked to write down his teachings. The result is "Tao Te Ching" ("Dao De Jing") or "The Way and Its Power". It is the union of the Yin and the Yang, dual elements united perfectly in a circle. (yin-yang symbol) Behind the philosophical expression, there is a strong political meaning: the emperor has Dao and therefore rules the world. The word Dao is often presented with the character De, which means the power of the universe.

ARTISt'S STATEMENT By Bernice Bing Once upon a time it was rare to find any Asians in prestigious art schools. When I was an art student, I came to the realization that a brush felt more comfortable and familiar in my hand than a pencil. Dexterity with a brush led me to the fine artspainting. At that time I knew almost nothing about Eastern art or thought. I was totally naive about my own cultural heritage. I was living in and reacting to parallel worldsone, the rational, conscious world of the West; the other, the intuitive, unconscious world of the East. This duality caused me to explore the differences and samenesses in art forms. Existentialism was the first influence that persuaded me toward the abstract expressionist school of painting. The philosophical bases of existentialismone's responsibility for making one's own nature as well as personal freedom, independent decision-making, and the importance of commitmentwere to me the attitude of the abstract way of painting. The avant-garde of the late 1950s were inspiringamong abstractionists, de Kooning, Kline, Motherwell, Still; in jazz, Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, Monk, Mingus; in poetry, Stein, Pound, Genet, Rilke; in literature, Camus, Gide, Hesse, Mann, de Beauvoir; in the theater, Beckett, Genet, Albee; and in art films, Bergman, Antonioni, Fellini. These were my mentors, muses, and totems. Zen Buddhism, through Suzuki's books, spread rapidly to the West Coast, Saburo Hasegawa, a Zen painter, was my first profound influence in Eastern thought. "To see without seeing" was a concept totally foreign to me. There began my pursuit of more knowledge of the poetry and thought of Po Chu-i, Chuang Tzu, Lau Tzu, Shakyamuni, and Wang Hsi-chih, the "calligrapher sage."

The process of selection is always an interesting challenge. To me, the topics are always religious ones, but I try to make sure to use an array of approaches so that, at least occasionally if not more often, the selection will provide a religious experience for you as well. Sometimes the calendar, through holidays or seasons, helps to determine the themes; sometimes it's events in the life of our congregation. At other times, I draw on our Unitarian Universalist principles, tradition or history for sermon topics. And sometimes I feel it's important to respond to the very current events of the day, as Ralph Waldo Emerson said, through he light of our religious principles. This year, more than most, current events have demanded much of our attention. Last month, when I anticipated this day, I thought it would be good to go with a Unitarian Universalist traditional/historical theme, thus the title: "The Religion of Tomorrow Here Today: Our Part in the Creation Story." But we never really know what's going to come down the pike in a month's time. And so, once again this morning, I don't really know how to preach anything for you, without taking into account the events of our day. Still, I can't imagine how another title other than this one could summarize what I want to relate to you - especially as it has been forged in the fiery headlines of our daily news.

the polarities of resonance valentine's day, 1998 no offense intended but to set aside a specific day so as to routinely 'demonstrate' one's affections (i.e. valentine's day) seems like a huge insult to one of nature's most charming emergent behaviors. the (pagan) roman's idea of this february 14th celebration was that " single men and women would hold toga parties during which the winners of a love lottery would slip off to make love". moral and practical questions aside, this seems to be far more in the spirit of 'creativity' or 'fertility' than is the current practice. the essence of all types of collaboration (loving couples, anthills, beehives, factories, families) is 'resonance' - a synchronous mutual reinforcement which may be brought about by two very different devices; i.e. by mutually recognized generalizations (rule structures) based on historic experience and/or; by a mutual 'tuning-in' to evolving patterns of creative (unpredictable) flow. while we regularly make use of both, the priority or 'polarity' of usage is what separates eastern and western philosophies. so which resonances 'should' one seek first? ... the resonances of an unpredictable (mysterious), creative, collective flow (i.e. 'the Tao') or the resonances of predictable 'material' generalizations? there is mounting introspection in the west (e.g. 'The Spell of the Sensous') as to how our western 'resonance polarity', which subordinates creativity to generalization, may be 'out of synch' with nature and the primary source of much of our social dysfunction.

Omega II: Visiting with the Sages Day 1 - The Beginning - Part 1 The Beginning of Wisdom of the Sages by Alisa Joaquin As Helen and I entered the main hall, there weren't very many people to start with, but soon the crowd gathered for the orientation. After that was completed a lot of people left, but those who were here for David's workshop stayed. I did notice there weren't that many to begin with. Helen and I suspect it was because David would not be arriving until tomorrow and the fact that many planes were delayed. We realized later that the delays were probably caused by the Columbus Day weekend. Arnold Tayam came in. I suspected he would be back for this. He is really good. The first thing he pointed out was that he was not David Carradine and there was a light chuckle at that. He then went onto explain that the plane was delayed and that David and the rest of his instructors would be arriving on later. He would be leading the session for that evening. Arnold Tayam Arnold Tayam then welcomed everyone back who came last year and welcomed those that were new. He then asked who did Tai Chi, and which form people did, Yang, Chen, or Wu. There are actually four. There is another Wu style-no relation to the other Wu. I raised my hand on the Yang form for the moment. I had not practiced the Chen form for some time. Then he asked who did Qi Gong. He then introduced the title of the workshop, "Wisdom of the Sages," and then stated that we would be looking at two perspectives, the Tao and Buddhism. Basically, the lecture in the beginning was called "The Search-finding the art, the inner search, internal/external-the differences between Buddhism and Taoism."
