“You understand how to fly using wings, but you have not yet seen how to fly without them. You understand how to act from knowledge, but you have not yet seen how to act from not-knowing. Look at empty space. It is in emptiness that light is born. There is happiness in stillness. Lack of stillness is called sitting while wandering. If you are open to everything you see and hear, and allow this to act through you, even gods and spirits will come to you, not to speak of men. This is the transformation of the ten thousand things, the secret of the wise kings Yu and Shun, the constant practice of Fu Hsi and Chi Chu. It is even more useful for ordinary men.” - Chuang Tsu image

“Why are the people starving? Because the rulers eat up the money in taxes. Therefore the people are starving. Why are the people rebellious? 
Because the rulers interfere too much. 
Therefore they are rebellious. Why do the people think so little of death? Because the rulers demand too much of life. Therefore the people take death lightly. Having little to live on, one knows better than to value life too much.” - Lao Tsu image

“A small country has fewer people. Though there are machines that can work ten to a hundred times faster than man, they are not needed. The people take death seriously and do not travel far. Though they have boats and carriages, no one uses them. Though they have armor and weapons, no one displays them. Men return to the knotting of rope in place of writing. Their food is plain and good, their clothes fine but simple, their homes secure; They are happy in their ways. Though they live within sight of their neighbors, And crowing cocks and barking dogs are heard across the way, Yet they leave each other in peace while they grow old and die.” - Lao Tsu image

“Besides, you and I are both things. How can one thing judge another thing? What does a dying and worthless man like you know about a worthless tree?” - Chuang Tsu image

“They promote the belief that they are all-powerful. They are not. All they have had is the power to print money. The rest, they have usurped from humanity.” ~ David Rogers Webb image View quoted note →

That feeling the military can make matter disappear, make energy appear, control gravity, and they are afraid to tell us.

“The bright path seems dim Going forward seems like retreat The easy way seems hard The highest Virtue seems empty Great purity seems sullied A wealth of Virtue seems inadequate The strength of Virtue seems frail Real Virtue seems unreal The perfect square has no corners Great talents ripen late The highest notes are hard to hear The greatest form has no shape The Tao is hidden and without name. The Tao alone nourishes and brings everything to fulfillment.” ~ Lao Tzu image
