Chapter 53 Tao Te Ching Podcast Series
Chapter Fifty-three
If I were to have the very slight insight,
I would live in accordance with the Great Tao.
My only fear is, to go astray from Tao while spreading it.
Great Tao is smooth and plain, yet people prefer the devious bypaths.
Hence, the government is corrupted with luxury and splendor.
The people were exhausted with labor and left the fields to be wasted and the granaries depleted. Under such practices, the officials would wear fine clothes,
Carry sharp swords and indulge themselves in good food and drinks.
They crave with greed to possess great wealth.
Such is said to commit the crime of robbery and certainly is not the Way of Tao.

The Future is Predictable Because you create it….
The have’s and the have nots….
What are you willing to give up in order to have?
Is it even necessary to sellout to be accomplished? famous? Wealthy?
Actors dressing in drag to get to the next level
An initiation to show who really is in charge
IS Hard work dead
Abandoning old habits and mindset
Embracing the future/ in other words remembering the future self
So many times we focus on the past events of life in our present day and allow the feelings of the past to define our present and essentially map our future self.
The future is predictable because you do create it.
You can decide to see the negative or the positive, you can spread joy love and happiness or bitterness
Typically it will be much of the same of your yesterday
