The Tao of Waiting

mattvalentine Posted by mattvalentine at 10:22 AM on June 29, 2009

The Tao means (loosely): The Pathless Way and is often seen, from the outside, as pure chaos. So when we come to the waiting game how can this too be apparently chaotic? Well it isn't actually and nor is the Tao itself. It is all about going with the flow of energy within and without our human existence.

 

Right now my life is quite settled - God it's boring! I know that a change is coming because I can feel it, but just when that change will be I do not know. Now I could try to hurry things up a bit by drumming up business, advertising on marketing sites (for business) or I could jump on a plane and just hop it over to India for a rest (for leisure) but although my ego would love to force this action into being - I know that this is not the Tao right now. Right now the Tao...the way...is to wait.

 

Oh shit.

 

Oh well, I drop the anxiety over needing to 'do' and I just get on with the mundane reality of this moment - writing books, seeing patients, doing massage treatments and meditating. And when the moment comes to 'do' I, of course, won't need to even think about it. Now this spontanious movement through life is just why it appears to be chaos, but oh no my dear friend, it is pure energy, clear light, and Divine Wisdom.
