Tao for Today
IMPERSONAL AND PERSONAL
The Tao is impersonal because it does not care the way humans do. It nurtures and destroys all things, and then moves on without a word. It does not get angry or happy or sad. It is more like a force than a personified deity.
At the same time, the Tao is also personal. It is in every cell of your body. It is part of your heart, your brain, your bones and your muscles. The Tao flows through you like blood flowing through your veins. It is the ultimate principle that permeates everything in every layer of existence, including every aspect of you.
Your awareness is part of this totality. Your consciousness is one facet of the diamond known as universal intelligence. Whether you are able to sense your connection with the Tao or not, you will always be a part of it just as it will always be a part of you. This is the personal Tao to which you are inextricably linked.
The Tao Today
Think of yourself as a child of the Tao. We all are.
The Tao is where we came from, and sooner ol ater we will all return to it. It is the very essence o life and death for all of us, and nothing can be more personal than that.
