Power for the Peaceful: A Course in Tao

013 Verse 12 "Two Paths You Can Go By"


Listen Later

In this episode treating Verse 12 of Tao Te Ching, we are given a choice: To pay attention to our unedited desires and cravings for what Lao Tzu calls the myriad swirl of the 10,000 things. OR, to pay attention, mindfully and with discipline, to the miraculous nature of the present moment, the present time, and the present circumstance. This is how to avoid soul-chaos.


This podcast is an original labor of love, whose central idea is that Tao te Ching is good news for today. Tao still speaks. Madison Thomas spoke our quotes

this time. Audrey Davis is our artist. Molly Hartwell sings her song, “Put Your Roots Down.” Fortress Press holds the copyright for quotations from my Tao Te
Ching translation. Thanks to you for your attendance in this class on Taoism.

May your days begin in peace, and become wombs for radical hope.
