This book must have influenced me in a special way. I spent the last hour looking for this translation you are reading and couldn't find it when looking on Amazon anyway. When I finally read the description in its totality I noticed the name "Ron Hogan" then I found it immediately! The only thing I have to do now is "do nothing" and wait until July for it to be delivered. You are the one that made me buy my first book and I don't know if you see yourself as a teacher? But you are a wonderful teacher!

Excellent bro... You did the Tao in street vernacular! ... My friggin idea for 20 years now!!! But I never brought it totally to fruition. I still can though but good for you... I knew I liked you when you had the guts and common sense to do all you have with flat earth. I'm constantly defending you to the globers on the FB groups. Not that you need it. And funny thing, I've come to find out they don't see the FE's strong probability because their still caught in the paradigm that we've all been indoctrinated into and a lack of true spirituality and knowledge of the true nature of consciousness, the ego, true awareness and the practice of meditation has kept them asleep and so sure they're right. But if they were exposed to things like eastern philosophy and all I mentioned, then they would be awakened and see what's so obvious to those of us who are woke already.

Dear Eric, and other divine messengers, spiritual warriors, for those who have real eyes to see and real ears to hear, this is my story. My search for the sound of one hand clapping, Anahata, unstruck, the foundation of sound, The Way, The Dao. My answers lie in the silence, the no thing, the no mind, the space between thought is where i find. i cant name the nameless, nor the formless. Humanity is Divinity asleep Divinity is Humanity Awake I need no questioning of what my divine intuition is hearing, as it never comes as news, it merely shines and reflects its divine origin. Eric, you are a divine messenger in your truest vocation, your work will reap what it sows, the seeds of Gnosis will always germinate on fertile soil, as is their vocation. The uprising of primal energy that has produced the most profound array of energy in motion or E Motion s in me as i come to terms with a shift of paradigm and for the fist time I see more of me. And you and for the first time, I Know that I Dont Know And the wonderment and awe flood back and soar Through the innate intuitive senses I will not allow my truth to be deceived For it fears no unveiling Alike our real Luminaries If it is beneath you to follow It is beyond you to lead Personal Sovereignty is a right As is basic need We're tired of the sinister shite The violence and greed We claim back our right To sow our own seed to reap what we sow To eat what we grow But first we must show and tell The liars of Hell The great deceivers of divine truth That which is the Unknowable The Kingdom of Heaven is within you I AM not APART from YOU I AM a PART of YOU Remove the veil of Atman to find Brahman Your eyes are a penetrating force look DEEP Your Eye is a perfect representaion of the Earth PLANE The Heart is the Earth It beats twice a day It displaces the water In which it lay Your body is a loan which we all must pay, one day Because our hearts beat faster Than that of the Mother where we all return the material other To the germ of the seed however we will only find in the non material The No Thing The Non Physical The Spirit ual The Father The Way Brahmananda Ishvara Nirvana (OUT BREATHE) To Allow The Dao Non Striving Not Grasping or Clinging Letting go Accepting Equinimity Non Judgemental Non Dualistic I make no apology for the organic nature of this comment and hereby allow Eric Dubay to use any part or whole of this testimony without any copyright infringement May all beings be safe Si

To translate the Tao Te Ching ... You will need the six ancient manuscripts, available online: Guodian (c. 300 BCE,) Mawang Dui A and B (c. 200 BCE,) Heshang Gong (c. 150 BCE,) Wang Bi (c. 150 CE,) and Fu Yi (c. 500 CE.) Type in the search field, Onkellotus Tao Te Ching manuscripts. Click on daodejing - listed. Then scroll down to number 19, just after LINKS. Click on it, Das Tao Te King von Lao Tse. The six ancient manuscripts are atop. The foreign translations are next, in descending order. The English translations are the bottom third of the page. This page is crucial because it contains the six ancient manuscripts at the top of this page. You will need the MDBG Chinese-English dictionary. You can type in the pinyin (the letters that represent the characters,) or even better, copy paste the Chinese characters into the dictionary search field. Very easy to use! You will need zhongwen.com/daodejing. This resource will give you archaic meanings and is a good complement to your MDBG resource. Just click on 1-10 or 11-20 and so forth, then scroll to the poem you're working on, then click on the character you want information on, and it will appear in the column on the right of it at the top. This resource is particularly good for archaic meanings, as well as for giving you a breakdown as to the meaning of each character you click on.

"She" is the name of the figurative figure of the story when she is the one narrating. No matter how "evolved" we supposedly progress to it always seems off when a guy uses she as the gender of there story reflecting self knowledge. Its not some mysoginist instinct. Its the natural order

It requires first a simplicity to not be fooled by the subtility. Crowley used this book btw do you not see the dots ?

Written by a murderous sex addict. Not a man of Tao. Jesus was closer to the ideal than Muhammed. Buddha even more so. But to me Laozi seems to come closest. Not that I am anywhere near it. But I recognise it when I see it. Islam is just one more religion full of fearful, ignorant people who pop up today and disappear tomorrow, raising up more fearful, ignorant people. Not many follow Tao Muhammed was no better than Luther who seemed to have a flash of awakening but slipped into worldliness, hatred, dogma, and all sorts of ideas that caused so much suffering. But here I am arguing again instead of being quiet.
