[quote author=blink link=1178283068/0#0 date=1178283068]from Tao te Ching, Stephen Mitchell translation:

A good traveler has no fixed plans
and is not intent upon arriving.

TO LET GO OF THE BODY TO REACH OTHER REALMS REQUIRES LETTING GO OF WANTING, DESIRING, NEEDING, CLINGING.....THE DOORS OF THE MIND AND HEART OPEN....

A good artist lets his intuition
lead him wherever it wants.

LISTENING TO THE "INNER VOICE" GIVES INSPIRATION

A good scientist has freed himself of concepts
and keeps his mind open to what is.

THE TRUTH WILL BE FOUND BY ONE WHOSE MIND AND HEART ARE OPEN TO POSSIBILITY

Thus the Master is available to all people
and doesn't reject anyone.
He is ready to use all situations
and doesn't waste anything.
This is called embodying the light.

NO PERSON OR SITUATION IS WITHOUT PURPOSE OR VALUE

What is a good man but a bad man's teacher?
What is a bad man but a good man's job?
If you don't understand this, you will get lost,
However intelligent you are.
It is the great secret.

ALL SITUATIONS ARE OPPORTUNITIES TO LEARN AND TO LOVE





love, blink
