I went through a bunch of my old writings this morning. Apparently I’ve been thinking and writing about reality… and who “I” am… and stuff like that for a long time. Not much has changed. Oh… there has certainly been progress in getting deeper and deeper to the center of it all… and I have changed some ways of putting it out there. Used to refer to the Oneness as… ‘I’. Now use… “I”. No biggie.
But even then… years ago… I was still trying, hoping, wondering… how was all this stuff going to get out there? Nothing has changed. I’m still wondering. I know it’s not about me. So maybe that’s the ticket. I’ve got to do it all anonymously. Here’s a quote from Meditation on the Tao, a 1989 article, I published in Quest Magazine.
The Tao was first experienced and recognized for what it is, as far as we are aware, by a man known today as Lao Tzu. Lao Tzu in Chinese means Old Sage, or Old Man, or Wise One. We don’t even know today what this great seer’s name really was, because he was so good at keeping his anonymity and staying out of the public eye. That is a part of the Tao. It is proof that he knew what he was talking about.
Perhaps there is a lesson in there for me twenty-seven years later.
