THE TAO
“The whole of all that is changing according to these physical laws of the universe, from the life forms on earth to the stars above, is referred to herein as the cosmos. The path of life through the changing cosmos is the tao. The tao is the only reasonable and harmonious path for the individual through the cosmos, given his nature and the nature of the cosmic forces at the given moment in time.”
“The tao literally means the way or gate through which all things move. To move with the tao is to be in a state that Christianity refers to as “grace.” The Chinese philosophers were fond of comparing taoist behavior with that of water: It flows onward always. It penetrates the crevices, it wears down resistance, it stops to fill deep places and then flows on. Always it holds to its true nature and always it flows with the forces in the cosmos.”
“Although the tao implies the path of least resistance, it is often a very difficult path to follow. In following the tao, the individual can find his place in the cosmos and harmonize with it. At this point he can exercise true free will as he makes real decisions based upon real possibilities…Confucius wrote in the Ten Wings, ‘Whoever knows the tao of changes and transformation, knows the actions of the gods.’ ”
