TAO is neither a religion
nor a philosophy.
TAO is simply a way
of life about the Way of life, that is, a general way of thinking about everything in life. It is a pathless path of
humanity to live as if everything is a miracle.
TAO is the Way through anything and everything in life
in order to fully experience them and live in balance and harmony. TAO is not
about avoiding or getting out of anything unhappy and undesirable in everyday
life, such as depression; rather, it is about going through depression by experiencing every aspect of it in order to
become enlightened, if possible, with
the profound human wisdom to continue living in peace and harmony in a world of
depression.
TAO is looking at
life not as a series of both happy and unhappy episodes, but simply as a
journey of self-discovery and self-awakening to the real meaning of life
existence. You are defined not by your words and thoughts, but by the ways you
act and react, as well as the impact you may have on others around you. You
exist not because you are simply here; you are here in this world to love and
to learn how to live, as well as to help one another do the same.
TAO is formless,
shapeless, and inexplicable in words; after all, it had existed long before
there were even words. TAO is infinite human wisdom, which is a pathless path
to the infinity and the origin of all things.
TAO is not about making your life any
easier; it is about acceptance of all aspects of your humanity that need to be
fully experienced, embraced, and then to be let go of in order to become
wholesome at other times of your life and living—that is the essence of TAO wisdom, which is true enlightenment of
the human mind.
Living in a world of depression, you
might want every-thing your way or no way. But TAO is the Way through your
depression, enabling you to understand how
and why you might have your
depression in the first place.
