Live simply and virtuously, true to your nature, drawing no line between what is spiritual and what is not.
Laozi. . . learn to value what is important today in the subtle realm rather than what appears desirable tomorrow in the worldly realm.
LaoziYet mystery and imagination arise from the same source. This source is called darkness ... Darkness within darkness, the gateway to all understanding.
LaoziBecause of deep love, one is courageous. Because of frugality, one is generous. Because of not daring to be ahead of the world, one becomes the leader of the world.
LaoziIf you wish to become a divine immortal angel, then restore the angelic qualities of your being through virtue and service. This is the only way to gain the attention of the immortals... These angelic teachers cannot be sought out; it is they who seek out the student. When you succeed in connecting your energy with the divine realm through high awareness and the practice of undiscriminating virtue, the transmission of the ultimate subtle truths will follow.
