Truths From The Tao — Part 1

Letting go of emotional blockages

The aphorisms or key ideas from the Tao Te Ching can help us better understand the source of life and consciousness. The Tao is often thought of as the way. See how these beautiful statements can be powerful inspirations in aiding you on the spiritual path.

Yoga Perspectives

Godward or Away From God

What do your feelings and sentiments do to your ego, your sense of self? Do your sentiments lead you Godward or away from God? Most people have a view of self which blocks the soul and what it is trying to do. As you look within at your desires, faith and other sensitivities, do they intensify the ego and a sense of separateness? Are they helping you or actually blocking you? One needs to be sensitive to the soul and that which leads you toward Spirit.

  • Lao Tzu, the wise man of sixth century BC, inspired Confucianism, Buddhism and many great thinkers to this day
  • Enjoy the beautiful insights of Lao Tzu regarding the nature of Spirit and the path:
  • Without the cooperation of your feelings, you can’t know the essence and origin of all things.
  • Sensitivity is lost if one has no control over one’s speech.
  • One needs to be sensitive enough to not create endless karmic hurts and lessons.
  • An essential truth in yoga and mysticism:  The senses can only be aware of 10,000 things. But they can’t be aware of Tao, the Spirit, the way, the truth.

How to Succeed

As you may know, we do not charge for our courses. All Yoga World content is free and available to you with our blessings. However, we do have a simple, but important request that’s key to the transformations necessary to succeed on the path.

We ask you to commit two hours a week to selfless service. This service can be anything you choose ranging from helping a family member or neighbor to volunteering at a nonprofit organization.

I Commit to Serve

This commitment is solely between you and your inner self.
